Get a calculation from entitledto and if you think the numbers work your old man should get 24/30 hours working close.
He is missing the best years of his kids lives.

Disgusted by this woman's attitude! She's holding up her husband's work record of 27 years as if it were some kind of Olympian achievement, that absolves her of any moral responsibility to work, contribute to society, and pay for the consumer goods and lifestyle she so clearly wants.

But with 2 children under 4, YOU are not holding up a long work record, are you, missy? How long have YOU worked, 10 years? Before you got tired of it? YOU are conforming, in my mind's eye, to the stereotypical lazy, SUV-driving SAHM who thinks everything - including the takeaway,who cooks! - should be delivered on a plate to you!

I get so very annoyed when I see posts like this, people find this website and assume it is a scam-artist's paradise of tips on how to claim benefits and shirk your responsibilities.

In actual fact - and as a user of this forum for several years - I can tell you that the vast majority of people on here are decent, hard working, morally responsible people who are simply seeking to live within their means. Not scrounge! A lot of us have put in 40 years plus of working. A lot of us intend to work as much, and for as long as we can - because we know that's what holds society together, and that's what should provide for us in our old age.

Not shameless money-grabbing!

I shall stop now as I'm so annoyed.

You might not agree with it, but she can do it. Your post is full of so many assumptions worked for 10 years blah, blah. Missy addressing someone like that, your tone is disgusting. Calling someone a scrounger, and money grabbing. I might not agree with the system and yes I've said things before. Your tone is down right rude.

Think she said they were both planing to work again, plenty people who work claim loads more on childcare.

You should be well aware of the helpful post on this board....yours is a rant. Which doesn't sit well with me anyway.
