LOL JOY
YOU REMINDED ME OF SCHOOL HOLIDAYS
ALL THE MUMS WENT TO WORK
THEY DROPPED THEIR KIDS AT MY HOUSE
WITH THEIR SARNIES

OH CAME HOME 12 KIDS ROUND OUR HOUSE +
OUR TWO..HE LASTED 20MINS

HOW MUCH DID I GET PAID

NOT A PENNY

exaactly my point dizzi
you like myself were responsible enough to stop at two

and we were lucky we never had to struggle



also we took in 9 kids that were not our own
7 of which we never got paid for
and kept at our own exspense

JOY
WE ONLY HAD THE TWO,,,,,,,COULDNT AFFORD TO
HAVE MORE AND IT WAS A HELL OF A STRUGGLE

Oh..but didnt eveyone know what would happen after the election,,,,,Lab out and Reformers in.
rich stay as rich and the ones below the line will need a liferaft,,,,

CB,hit,,,,,,, its nothing to whats in store..hold on to your socks....}}}}}!!!

AN I FOUND IT OFFENSIVE ALSO

ROSE
I AGREE I KNOW MORE BUT EVERYONES ENTITLED
TO HAVE AS MANY CHILDREN THEY WANT

I ALSO KNOW WHERE CB IS SPENDING MONEY FOR THEIR
CHILDREN,,,I SHOULD IMAGINE IT COULD CAUSE PROBLEMS FOR MUMS WHO CANT AFFORD TO DO THAT ,,WHEN THEIR TEENAGES
HEAR OF IT...........(IF YOU UNDERSTAND WHAT I MEAN)

i also think child benfit should only be paid for the first two children
to have more than you can afford is irresponsible

I'm sorry Dizzi, but yes it was about CB. YOu can think what you like and try to make me out to be something I'm not, but all I did was express an opinion.

To be accused of something else, I'm not sure what, is frankly offensive.

I just have to say something... been there, where the CB made the difference every week putting food on the table,heating, clothes, shoes ( from Woolies actually) etc ... and, sometimes, not often, to buy a cup of coffee 'out' , sometimes to go in a cafe and buy a plate of egg and chips ( me and D ) to feel 'normal' and not 'impoverished scroungers on the state'...

I'm not saying there aren't people who see it as a free ride, ie have loads of kids, get the rent paid etc etc...but that isn't everyone, and unless one knows the individual circumstances it isn't always easy to tell....
I often got comments from a distant-ish relative along the lines of "oh but you get that paid for you don't you" (said about everything from water rates to the phone bill) ..and "NO" was my answer "I have to try and 'juggle' and it isn't easy".

I do think reform is necessary, and those who can do without it, high earners, certainly should.

OPINION YES ..I AGREE
BUT YOURS WASNT ABOUT CB

Calm down Dizzi, I'm entitled to a point of view as well....

Your first post read that you think families get too much....personally, I don't.

OH AND FOR SOME FAMILIES HAVE NO CHOICE BUT BUY
THEIR CHILDRENS SHOES FROM TESCO'S

IF YOUTOOK THE TIME TO READ MY COMMENT ISAID
YOU WITH TWO CHILDREN,,,NOT THE SEVEN ONE

just remember its only going to effect people on high incomes
not those who struggle to put shoes on kids feet


its the people who dont really need the cash
that are not going to get in

nobody is going to steal any kids sweeties

I WAS TALKING OF MY DAUGHTER
AN BEFORE YOU START
BEEN THERE
DONE IT
AND STILL DOING IT WITH GRANDKIDS
SO DONT GET AT ME FOR MAKING A SIMPLE
STATMENT,
I KNOW HOW HARD IT IS

£20.30 a week for your eldest child and;
£13.40 a week for each of your other children

Child benefit is not for buying neighbours coffee. Sorry but that's rather a crass thing to say.
Think about the cost of bringing up children. £30 + for a properly fitting pair of shoes (not ths cheapies from Tesco, that could damage your kids feet because they are not fitted properly), school uniforms, clothes which are grown out of before they wear out, school dinners, pens pencils, workbooks, school trips....and before that, nursery fees etc etc.
For the majority of families, that family allowance is the difference between the kids going barefoot till the end of the month. Believe me, I know, I've raised a couple of my own and without CB I couldn't have done it.
But to give a blanket judgement just like that is so wrong, and hasty.

I think the whole system needs to be sorted out and i for one am happy that someone has the b~~~s to do it.
