Yes you would say that though wouldn't you?

Being pregnant and alone doesn't make you privvy to ESA. It's comments like that and people like you 'parked up' on ESA that have made the medical so hard and for the genuine sick to get benefits.

p.s - 5 hours online....never heard of a cafe allowing a single person to stay that long. You must know them well.

Oh dear here we go... nope i cant be assed:p

1. Why wouldn't Boots employ her for a Christmas job? It would be a temporary position so presumably they wouldn't have to pay her maternity pay or anything like that. Did anyone actually say they wouldn't take her?

I was thinking that too although in fairness she is quite far along (21 weeks) so would imagine she will have a sizeable bump and they may be concerned about H&S.

I don't know why she just didn't come home and use her Mum's PC and apply online though? For all it would have took her as it would have been a simple case of copying the info.

That's of course assuming that there was an application form completed and it was attempted to be handed in to the shop.

On Monday ring the Jobcentre and ask to apply for a hardship payment, as your daughter is in a "vulnerable" group she should receive 80% of her JSA personal allowance.

Meanwhile I am off to self harm as I realise the whole of the JSA sanction scheme is a pathetic waste of time and wonder why I put myself through the daily misery of work

My thoughts:

2. Wouldn't it be easier to have her living with you until the baby is born at which point she will need more space and will be entitled to more? I can't see why she needs a place of her own at the moment.

3. To the poster who was appalled at another poster's suggestion of adoption: it's all very well to say that the mother hasn't been given a chance to try yet but babies are not toys. They need good parenting from day one, not just once the mother has had a go, given up and handed the child over to someone else.

I'm going to be blunt and say what I think (I don't expect anyone to agree with me); if I were in the daughter's position, I would be thinking about an abortion.

that poster was me and i'm not even going to dignify your post by giving you another opinion, clearly you are so blinkered.

But i am not in a cafe, i am in a hostel that has a computer, and since you are normally so intrepid in your investigations of me you would know this, slipped up there fruitloop:rotfl:

To be fair she is not.

The OP's daughter is pregnant to a man who beat her up so presumably she will never receive child support or the child have the Father in it's life.

She is 18 and already can't afford to feed herself.

It's not a blinkered view. It may be unpalatable to some people but just because conception has happened, doesn't mean the pregnancy has to continue.

Does she think she is being a good Mum just now does she? Stressing out with the potential to go hungry and cold? When you become a Mum, the child bests interests are paramount and the poster was just pointing out that maybe this isn't the best thing for the child to be in this situation.

You might be right about the H&S worries. I have no idea, although shop staff (whcih is presumably what she was applying for) must get pregnant and keep working until fairly close to birth. Even so, there appears to have been an assumption that thye wouldn't take her and I wanted to know whether this was based on anything.

Good point about using her mum's PC.
