I only personally know one single unemployed Mum with a council flat..she has no cooker/proper flooring, and struggles to pay for heating etc - how has the goverment encouraged her to live that lifestyle...who would want to live that lifestyle? Its bleak and depressing

No you haven't labelled me personallly I know, but your first post was pretty offensive to any teen mum hense why I commented.
The government encourage it by giving free houses to people who choose to have a kid for no other reason than getting a free house.
The consequence of having an unwanted child should not be a free house for life.
Do you know why the unemployed single mum you know struggles. Its probably because she spends what little money she has left after necessities on her child.
The lazy single mums around here spend the money on themselves, they have a lot of it as well because they know how to play the system.0 -

Yes I agree people that know how to play the system and have never worked/have no intention of ever working that want to have 4...5..6 kids to fund their lifestyle are wrong... even worse when they get 'rewarded' by having a house (I remember some proper scum families that were in new HA houses runing the lives of other pefectly good tenants on bbc1 last year)
They shouldn't be allowed to get away with it, nor should any other benefit claimant clearly abusing the system... but pls remember thats not everyone

Sorry, you stopped commenting on the other thread so I forgot. Here is your answer:
"No, I have never seen any of the Mum's dropping off their children at my Daughter's school wearing their night clothes". However, I have to admit that I don't take much notice because we're usually running late and I just want to get her dropped off at the door and then get off to work.
LOL, was that really worth keep asking me to answer your question across multiple threads? :rotfl:
Here's a question I'd like you to answer, and I'm going to use the same tactic as you until I get it...
"Which Northwest England town do you live in?"0 -

Yes I did. Your question was:RenovationMan wrote: »Yeah, sure. :rotfl:
Erm, you're the one who's hanging around school looking at the mum's attire, not me. Do you not remember saying it? It was only a few posts ago. I guess it's hard to keep track of what you are saying when you have so many usernames on the go?
This is what i said.
I cannot be the only person on this board who sees women in their pyjamas dropping the kids off at school.
It still stands.
