  • I'm none of those things :) Just gave how I would deal with the situation and I believe I also gave you some of the advice ;)

    What does get me is someone moaning when they clearly have a high income compared to many familys and honestly if you are unable to live on that wage with no mortgage or rent to pay then I think you should take a look at your finances and sort them out.. that would be my advice.

  • Or do you actually have a mortgage/rent as is coming to light? Hmmm either way - and I would say this to a friend as I am direct and honest - sort yourself out love, do a SOA (Statement of affairs) and see where you can make cutbacks.

    The point I was making is that my partner wants to work, maybe its a male thing & he would not want to pack in work in orderto claim more from the state.
    I have no issue with stay at home mums as long as the workers of society arent paying for them to watch daytime tv!

    It would be single parents who are financially supported by the government to be able to stay at home to raise their children - and in your opinion 'workers of society paying them to watch daytime tv'......SAH parents aren't necessarily being paid by the 'workers of society'....in fact, many are stay at home parents at no additional cost to society.

    you get a decent salary, no mortgage to pay and no car payment... and yet you seem to think that tax payers (who most have to pay for these things) should contribute towards your childcare costs.... why?
