    well if you really feel the need to give up work then do so! just dont expect us all to pay for your child. this is 2011 very few people can live of a single wage. its the way things are. deal with it.

    My partner is on a low wage of £17,000.

    Any advice would be appreciated.

    Thanks :)

    So you have 17k a year coming in plus CB and tax credits.
    That should be more than enogh to survive on.
    If you were on benefits you would be expected to live on a lot less.

    Your saying dont expect us all to pay for my child! Well ok, dont expect me to pay for your medical treatment when you next need it! I am still paying into the system and if you read my original post, I was ONLY considering this option!!!

    IF i was to give up work, I would be doing so to look after my child!

    I can't stop my tax being used to help drunks and drug addicts on the nhs but it still is!

    im not asking to pay for my medical treatment my husband pays £300 a month in tax! im pretty sure he's the one paying for it.

    its quite funny really... people managed fine before tax credit etc where even around. they did what they needed to so they could look after there families. i guess people these days are just too lazy.

    It's not that people are too lazy!

    The cost of living has gone up since those days!

    You dont know peoples situations who have responded to your question so I think this is a bit unfair ... none of us have control of where our tax money goes !
