Would you ask your son to leave home?

I think it's a bit harsh to say that Child Benefit and Tax Credits are paid for "nothing" The OP probably uses this money to feed him, clothe him (with clothes within this budget) keep a roof over his head, heat the house etc.

Not the same as giving that money to a teenager, then you'd still have to pay for a lot of that.

given the amount you get from the rest of us, we pay for him, not you. something you should bear in mind while moaning about him!

I am sure you see it that way but I get no benefits other than already stated,

Why not? Does he not understand that come 18 he has to pay his own way in life?

yep he does

I can't believe you had the audacity to reply that he in fact DOES understand he must pay his own way!:rotfl::rotfl:

Actions speak louder than words. But as with every other fact, you will doubtless tell us that you are indeed in the right, have never made a mistake and have nothing to learn

Do you actually want advice and want to change things or is this just a whinge before you go back and do exactly what you have done before?

Victory - You need to give up now in this thread. Its turned into benefit bashing (What? On MSE?? There's a surprise!) And as you get something from the government you should be allowing your son to continue any behaviour he likes!! Ha!

Walk away from this one. You can't win against the benefit bashers.

hIS MONEY or the governments money or what I get to keep him money whichever way it is seen covers very little these days and surely that is with everyone? It is not intended for that, it is to 'help' will never cover it all surely?
