My son doesn;t see his Dad, but he does see his Nan on Friday, he's collected Fri morning (another day off for the au pair) and back Saturday morning.

As mentioned, I get my uni money and extra things like the skating come out of that.

buuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuuut all these alleged days off really aren't days off, coz she is till looking after you right, the au pair has just changed [STRIKE]children[/STRIKE] jobs

Just one big tip.... try to spend more time with your little one - his life will fly by. You dont want him to remember sitting infront of the tv all day with a lady who doesnt care and mum is out all the time. See through the little ones eyes - he is probably crying out for cuddles but not sure who to ask.......

I don't really like young children, my own gives me migraine after an hour, I have hardly any patience and would rather be at work, I prefer them when they get to 4+ and then I'm okay but that is why i dont sit at home because I know I can't stand it. She has almost as little patience as I have and she's chosen this career!

sad really

But you said in post 215 that you looked after him all weekend.

I feel like crying after reading that, nice to hear that such caring people have children, feels good to have somebody that doesn't like children caring for them....nasty

I will swap with you....... more money coming in, full time carer for both of you, social buddy when it suits, you have a car.

We get a lot less for the three of us .

Hope what you have mentioned is correct and that you have had you questions answered here.

I would spend more time with my son, however I have to work and go to uni to support us. All the disability money put together only covers my mortgage and travel costs. My wage is the main income.

Dont forget of my monthly income, most is from my WORKING WAGES because I have a good salary because I have a good job and have worked hard is not a crime. If you have less than me and you both work full time all I can say is you should have studied harder at school :T

£5,000 is a loan and very much repayable. A loan can hardly be classed as income.

It isn't £12,000 now I have an au pair because £4,500 of that was Childcare Grant to pay nursery. So now its £5k loan and £2.5k grants, and those come in lump sums and are used on the house

But you'll find a way not to pay the loans back, won't you?

And using the grants for your house is sure to be making you money (in the long term).

Fast forward 20 years - your condition will kill you prematurely and your son will be left to pick up the pieces (sorting out your interest only mortgages and exploitation lawsuits).

Alternatively, you could blackout unexpectedly, falling flat on your face and resulting in popped b00bies and the silicone will drown you, doing us all a favour! (taxpayers at least).
