Child Benefit & Child Maintenance

and the nursing home won't have tax paying staff?? and your dr will work for free? And your surgical procedures will be cured by miracles and unicorns no doubt? How will you pay a police officer saving you from a mugger or a fire fighter rescuing you from your burning house.. those are peoples children that you are not paying for.. they are my children keeping you safe because that is what they chose to do. What good will you be bringing the world then?
I get tax credits and child benefit the same as the greater majority of other parents.. what else do I get? how much do I get? how many children do I even get it for? .. you haven't got a clue your bigoted mind cannot even comprehend this simple idea.
Because we have made adequate provisions we will be paying fees for any nursing homes and we will still be tax payers. We will be paying for services required in our retirement - not you children or the unicorns. I learned responsibility from my parents and grandparents who did the same. I hope your children can find good role models too.0 -

you might be paying for the care you receive but you won't be paying their wages or the medical personel wages or the emergency services or utilities or anyone or anything else .. just like paying your rent but not being responsible for bills or food or anything that makes you an adult.. your savings will be taxed based on the amount you have.LB moment 10/06 Debt Free date 6/6/14Hope to be debt free until the day I dieMortgage-free Wannabee (05/08/30)6/6/14 £72,454.65 (5.65% int.)08/12/2023 £33602.00 (4.81% int.)0 -

If I'm paying in full for the home, with no other contributions from the State, then I will be paying for the staff, the food I receive, the heating etc. I will be totally self reliant. I know that's a tricky concept for someone who is used to claiming as opposed to paying.0 -

I don't know anyone who is not eligible.. I live in a very low employment, low income, impoverished area.. you clearly don't.. lucky you!

not that it is in any way anyones business.. it has actually only been the last few months we have been really struggling and what am I supposed to do? Kill my 5 year old because we are now struggling? Have my 15 year old adopted because she is costing too much to clothe because she had a growth spurt??
.
Of course not. I was more meaning the child you are carrying now and the more recent ones. Surely you knew you'd be struggling and under financial pressure?but you wont be useful.. you will be a blob in a chair.
How disrespectful can you get.

but you wont be useful.. you will be a blob in a chair and all those people doing everything with be someones child, just like my children.. so while your husbands tax is paying every penny of tax credit paid out in the country (how the heck much does he earn!! :eek:) and you begrudge all those children from low income families every penny they get in your jealousy & bitterness.. it is that money enabling these children to be educated and be willing and able to look after you..
The 3 parents who created my children actually pay more in tax than we receive so your hubby is off the hook.
You are being vile. Is that how you view older people? Blobs in a chair? Really? I hope you aren't passing that attitude on to your children. I have four children and I don't need your 11 to care for me. I am retired but a tax payer. I am older than you but I am not a blob.
I have no idea how much tax you and the two men involved are paying. You describe one as "Is the cretinous slimebag piece of filth that allegedly fathered my children" so he sounds like a real asset to the world, by the way I don't know who is alleging his is the father of your children, surely you know? I thought the other one was at college at the moment? Is he working as well? I don't know if you are working and paying tax, sounds like you have your hands full to be honest. You have stated you are getting CB and CTC which must add up to quite a bit even if two or three of the older ones have flown the nest.
I think you owe a few people on here an apology, not me but people you have directly insulted.Sell £1500

If you think people are being unfair maybe you shouldn't be so nasty. I sympathise if you live in a low income area, I do as well, but it no need to behave they way you have.
I'm not sure where you are in your pregnancy but might it be making you over react to things? Your responses don't seem to be in proportion to what people have said.Sell £1500

most got full fees paid and the bursary.. if they took the loan that was through choice I know a couple who didn't because their partners earned enough to not necessitate that.
And that is precisely how much the bursaries were.. I just decided I don't do dead enough to decide it was not what I wanted to do and did bio med instead and I had full fees paid and £16,000 bursary.
I'm not going to argue with you but you're wrong.0 -
Pigpen your household income was £3500 nine years ago? I presume it's gone up the more children you have had. I find your attitude very strange to be honest. People are entitled to ask why you would consider having so many children when you've been struggling for years.
