    That she's paying him to do!

    He is a parent to these children, not a nanny, parents do not get paid to look after their own children, unless they're real lowlife type that is, who see a monetary value in taking responsibility for the children the bred.



    But he needs a job! If he got a 'proper' job, then he wouldn't be free to care for them when the OP needs them cared for!


    This arrangement kills 2 birds with one stone!

    There are a lot of mums owed a lot of backpay if this is how things are supposed to work...

    Not really,
    A/ you dont get paid to look after your own Children
    B/ He should get a job and pay her the Child Maintenance that he quite rightly should be paying, plus also the back pay from being a !!!!less father and THIS money should go towards child care.
    Man needs to give his moral compass a rattle it appears to be defective.

    OMG it starred out Heck (but with an F) out. Whats wrong with *eck?
    OK, hes a heckless father.

    Why not just employ a live in nanny/au pair? I'm sure it would be cheaper than 2.5k pm.

    So the working parent needs to earn double to keep the house running and to pay the non-working parent a full time wage? What planet is this on then?
