Why not, being a TA is pretty limiting as far as careers go. To go any further it'll be 4 years off back at uni or yonks with the OU.

Besides which, now they can split child care and both work part time.

Ideal if any one of them could find a part time job, Believe me he has tried.

My daughter is working towards a nursery/reception teacher and yes she will do it no matter how long it takes.

Please remember that she was trying to better her life for her and child being a single parent for a long time.

Perhaps people would rather she produced many more kids and stayed out of work forever.

He is searching everywhere for a job.

It is my grandaughters home and she is settled there. Seems a bit silly to give up a home.

Yes i obviously wont let them starve.

But how do people manage that have no one to help financially

Sadly it's a bit late in the day to be prioritising your granddaughter. If the plan is to keep her settled then contingency money needs to be put aside to ensure that is so. This hasn't been done so unfortunately alternative plans need to take priority, ie any roof, not the one she likes best.

Good luck to them both, I hope things work out for them.

Thankyou.

The situation is not ideal, i know this. My daughter only has a couple of years to go then she will be supporting herself financially and having the school hols off with little one as well.

Or perhaps she could have worked up though a company? Good luck to her in her career, it'll be a long slog! Fingers crossed chappy can sort himself out and start providing for himself and his dependants.

What sort of course is it that's she's on now? I had no idea TA courses are a few years.

They should be able to apply for a crisis loan (albeit has to be paid back) at least up until the claim is sorted out, the Government are not going to let a child starve over the situation, so at the very least she should still get child benefits.

Its a tough crack for a young couple to start life together, so I wont pretend it will be a walk in the park. But they will backdate any benefits they are entitled to whilst it is under review, hopefully in time, he will find himself a suitable job to support the family, should they both find work then all the better for it and for them.

Until such an opportunity arises, I would suggest she constantly and vigorously keeps chasing up her claim with the social, up until it is resolved.

Unlike yourself not everyone life turns out they way they wanted. Not everyone can live at home whilst they save.


Unfortunately got caught pregnant young. Has managed her own home for 4 years from the age of 17. Always kept up to date paying her bills etc and has a daughter to be proud of.

Has worked in that time and was just claiming working tax credits.

it is now the little one is at school that it will be easier when my daughter doesnt work the school hols. She is trying to better herself.

It was not a plan for partner to move in unfortunately it just happended that way.

What should she do, throw him to the streets. He has no family and would be alone and still being a burden on society.

She is doing a foundation degree in primary teaching and learning i think its called. Its higher level course

I'd debate your interpretation of being 'caught' pregnant, it's not the flu...

Now getting back to the actual topic, why can't she live at home to save up?
