    I thought your daughter was a little girl - do you mean your midwife?

    I feel somewhat amused at the fact, that I have learned from this thread, that they are a bunch of old, retired women. Spending their retirements berating benefits claimants on a forum whilst receiving state support and benefits themselves. PMSL!

    Who are? That is quite a sweeping statement; I've commented on this thread and I am neither old, retired or on benefits - more's the pity!

    It is quite unusual to have both an adult child and a little one but fair enough.

    However,my main point still stands.

    Well yes -- not all benefits-bashers are old.

    Problem with the whole disability thing is that there a LOT of claimants that aren't quite as poorly as they'd have us believe.

    Problem with the whole tax thing is that there are a LOT of tax-payers evading their taxes.
