You can expect a single mother to be working until 7pm and the child not having her mother there too have her dinner ready and have her ready for bed.
What she needs is a job which she cant work 5 days a week 9am - 2:30pm which would be more then ideal
Lets not forget, the child has a father who should be paying his way aswell so the mother does have alot of expectations on herself.
I expect her to do what thousands of other parents do and arrange childcare! Maybe the father could even help out ... or the man that is going to give her this other child?0 -

Diabetes, dyslexia and now severe migraine. Oh dear. Will it be painful periods next? People work with all these conditions.
My partner has diabetes, cancer, gout and thyroid trouble, he works full time, i've worked since i was 16, for the last 28 years, and had two kids along the way, why should we pay for you to sit at home all day (when your daughter is at school) and watch Trisha etc...? How is that fair?
lol @ trisha but.....................its jezza now xxThe feeling i got when i confirmed my place studying criminology at Exeter Uni was brilliant!!!!!
The pride my children told me they had in me was even better!!!!! # setting positive example to children is OUTSTANDING!!!! !:grouphug::grouphug::smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea:smileyhea0 -
im sorry but its always been my opinion that if you cant afford to have a baby DONT its not upto the taxpayer to give someone an easy job free life so they can bring up a kid
this is a rant but my opinon if your easily upset dont continue reading
im self employed have a 4wk old baby, have a mortgage on mine and gf house I have to work for everything we have as cant claim and more to the point dont want to claim
so what happens when work goes quite for me we risk losing everything as cant get anything so it irks me when people who are already claiming want another reason to claim more, get some self respect and get a job she will be at school while you work.
the sooner the government mans up and puts a stop/makes it harder for people to claim the better
you have had five years of no work (ill admit bringing a child up is not easy but why should we the taxpayer work our !!! off to pay you to bring up YOUR child) and you have also done nothing to gain skills/qualifications in the hope you can just keep claiming benefits rant over0 -

don't understand why not it's fairly simple language - if you have a 4 week old baby can you not apply for working tax credit or child tax credit?0

Do you really think that they spoon the dog food in to the tins by hand?0 -

Or is that too 'old-fashioned' an idea?
What aspects of the OP's posts lead you to think that this would be the case?0 -

Poeple are having a go here but I have been on my own for 5 years, father is disapeeared, my parents are in new zealand and brother is in london so it has been all up to me since she were born.
I did refuse the job interview, it was shifts till seven and was in dog food packing which I hate adn cant stand.
Theres not much advise here just do this and do that without knowing all the facts, lots of you sound like my advisor and are very unsimpethetic!!
The reason why everyone on here sounds like your advisor and, to you, seem unsympathetic is because every word is true! You're just not getting the answers you were looking for.
You have been entitled to 15 hours free childcare since your daughter was three. Why haven't you taken advantage of this and worked? Or at least been to college?
I have twin boys aged 3 ... both my wife and I work full time... we pay over £1000 each month for childcare so we can go to work. This means that the majority of my wages go on childcare (I have about £200 left each month, my wife pays the mortgage, bills etc)). I don't see why I should carry you and your daughter round in life because you want to desperately find any way possible of not working...!!
The advice you're getting, like it or not (which you obviously don't) is sound advice... suck it up, get qualified, get to work and get a life instead of sitting back, watching Jeremy Kyle and thinking the rest of us owe you a living.Marge... if the bible has taught us nothing else, which it hasn't, it's that girls should stick to girls sports like hot oil wrestling, foxy boxing and such and such...!
