    the child benefit money has to be to support your daughter not her child (been having a research for you) so toys r us is absolutely out as most likely is boots clothes or food something along those lines https://cards.asda.com/student-shopper-card/about something like this might work well i dont think you can use it on the tobacco but might be able to use it for alcohol

    I really do not know where you have researched but there is absolutely no requirement to spend your child benefit money to support the child.

    There are absolutely no checks made whatsoever.

    this was in the case of (as we were discussing previously) that the daughter is no longer living with the OP then OP can still claim the child benefit as long as it is being directly spent on her

    She must have been pregnant when thr implant went in. I found out her and bf were trying for a baby only allow her to see him supervised but obviously I can't keep tabs on her 24/7 I said I would allow her to see him unsupervised if she had a implant previously she was on the pill as I had suspicions but I used the fact she has migraines at period time so doc suggested it may help also for acne as hormone related.

    Implant went in I know it was in as she got me to feel it last week. There was lots of pressure involved from bf for sex and seeing her I feel she saw the implant as a blessing as she literally had it put in the day after. The bf view was I was being controlling as it's her body and she is scared of needles

    Very early days then.

    Step back from buying or saying you will buy anything at all for the baby - let it sink in how awful living with the boyf and his dad really is! Let her worry about the babies stuff and how they will get it all. The first obstacle will be maternity clothes and new underwear but even that's weeks away . . . how seriously will the boyf and dad be about having to fork out on routine stuff . . . Continue to nurture her and her body, make sure the little bits of laundry you do go back smelling of fab/cond not smoke but stand back and let her work out who can look after her best - herself, her mum or those 2 . . .

    My own niece finally split with useless boyf because he couldn't prioritise her need for a bra and his need for weed.

    She will see sense eventually but you might have to watch her suffer a little

    Were you with her when she tested?The implant can give pregnancy type symptoms and stop your period.

    The implant also needs to come right out if pregnant due to risks it can cause...

    Ok,just read you've seen the test (did you see it?).

    The implant needs to come out asap.

    You need to stop buying nappies.Nobody ever buys baby things this early and with good reason.What were you thinking?

    I wouldn't be buying anything for the baby or promising to buy anything for two reasons . The druggies may sell them and also if you are trying to make home the more acceptable option why give her stuff for there.
