Executive Summary: OP wants to marry her boyfriend of not very long standing but only if the government will continue to financially support her and her children so he doesn't have to..................

Thanks for your posts they are a great example of why breeders benefits should be abolished.
I think that is a bit nasty, OP has already said the father of her second child was killed in action, obviously if he had not, she would possibly be still with him settled with 2.4 children just as the daily fail readers like it.
Unfortunately he was killed in action. she has moved on, what do you expect her to do with her children, one father was a waste of space and the other well i've said twice already.
These young uns may not type to everyone's taste on here, that is a different and irrelevant here.
so wind your neck in, you assume she is a breeder by only mentioning what you want, and not the full story.0 -
kids call him dad yes, he stays at his mothers on leave never used my address and been to skeggy for weekend with kids for sons bday thats as far as things have progressed lol, yes my ex was a total waste but i got the best outa the relationship... my son
So you've only spent the night with your "partner" twice and you are planning to marry him, and he is going to continue staying at his mothers when on leave? Pull the other one! :rotfl:0 -

I think it is a nasty term to use too.

I think the term was a little harsh too, but I see where they're coming from.
I am generally a leftie, would be happy if the Daily Fail offices self-destructed, I cried the day the Tories got into power...but seeing people deliberately try and cheat the system of benefits that are put there for those in need boils my blood!
OP, I suggest that you sort out the child minding ASAP, decide whether you love your partner enough to marry him or love your benefits more, and budget around your remaining money and his salary.
Also, text speak is simply illiteracy IMO.

I know she is a breeder because she has two kids. I know she is on benefits because she told us so. Let's face it without the kids she wouldn't have a council house and she'd be living on £55 a week JSA rather than the several hundred a week she is currently raking in. In a grossly over populated country it makes no sense having a benefit system that rewards the bone idle and unemployable when they have children.0 -
Just curious Mildred, why can't you have a private birth in Wales ? Aren't there any private hospitals ?0
