    As you said the evidence is anecdotal spewed out by the red tops
    Actually, I didn't. But do feel free to put words in my mouth/wilfully misread what I wrote.

    'Witness the anecdotal evidence of teenage girls trying to get pregnant so they can get a council house for example (up until a few years ago at least - not so sure it's a guaranteed way to get a house these days any more,) or the more salacious stories in the red-tops of single mothers (or less occasionally married couples) popping out a sprog every 10 months or so, and either boasting about the amount of money they get from the tax-payer, or complaining that it isn't enough to keep them in Sky subscriptions and X-box games.

    No, you failed to comprehend the 'or' separating anecdotal evidence and red-tops. I was talking about two different things. How you conflated them is beyond me, especially after it's been pointed out.

  • We get the £20/week family allowance plus £10 family credit ... all of it goes to 1 day/week child minding which we have to supplement. The OH is back working fulltime aswell now so we need to find more money for another day come January as I'm taking 1 day/week holiday to look after sprog.

    So you're getting about £30 per week? That's £1.5k a year, or thereabouts. How much are you paying in tax?

    Unless you're working for free, you're paying a good deal more than you're receiving, so you're not a problem :-)
