But if you have the father pay support then he has rights for visitation and partial custody. Some wemen are better off with out the mans help. My first born I raised by myself without state help and father name is not on birthcertificate so no rights for him and I do not ask for $$ from him. He has never seen my child better off for my child. I caught him cheeting on me and then found out he was using drugs as well so I did not want that for my child. Now I am married to a diff man and have 2 more kids with another on way. The only assistence I received is medical card during my last 2 preg. Cause my dh does not have insurance thru his trucking co. No ins yet for this preg. As of yet . Oh and when did this forum switch over to tell someone who they can and can not date. Who made you the parent of this person? :)

thats whats I took advantage of,when I was on benefits in between jobs
now got pc qualifications coming out of my ears lol


good for you! I'll probably train in something, while im on benefits. Then come off them when im qualified for a better payed job than just in a store, where my income will be higher than benefits, so its worth it. By then my son will probably be in school too, so i'll work part time hours during the time hes at school, and be at home when he is. I dont see part time hours being more money than benefits tho so i'll probly still be on them but less than I am now.

that is fair enough, but I sure wouldn't want to be trying to study with a 3 month old teething - don't think even my warped sense of humour could find that fun.

But yes in the longer term the idea is great, if only here they would reduce the cost of getting an education.

Basically if you quit school at 16 (high school leaving age) and didn't immediately go to college for what ever reasons then you are no longer entitled to a college placement and you have to pay for your courses.

These range from £200 ($369) upwards and it isn't feasible to pay those prices while on benefits.

Some may not know how the uk works.
Everyone is heavily taxed on any money they get.
Once that tax has been taken off you, you then have to pay for a license for television. You have to pay for basic ammenities - you have to pay for rain falling on your roof - I am not joking.
Everyone is entitled to a basic education and a basic health care.
If you chose a private education - you still have to pay for the basic place as well (via your taxes), if you choose private healthcare - you still have to pay for the basic care as well (via your taxes).
These don't get knocked off because you don't use them, they don't contribute towards the option of your choice.

I agree food stamps with a agreed list of purchases would be great because then people who don't need the assisstance and who play the system would not benefit but people who do need it would still benefit.

They should also provide education courses for people on benefits (for what ever reason) with concessions.

If you had stayed in school at 16 you are entitled to free eduation until at least 18, so surely you should be able to use those 2 years worth regardless?

the government now boost up your money so you're on a national average.You will get more help ie rent and council tax benefit , if you work for approx 16hrs a week.My college had a creche and it was fully qualified staff of which if I wanted to I could have put them in for nothing and if you are doing a full day at college, you can pop in, inbetween lessons and lunch etc to check up on them xx

thank u!

I also think the same for my son that hes better off not seeing his father, theres many reasons, its complicated but hes never seen him either, doesnt know about him. Hes in jail and it would be putting my sons life in danger if I got in contact with him. I kept thinking should I or shouldnt i...But my sons safety comes first so I made my decision. Hopefully he'll understand when hes older why I did it, and not resent me too much lol

emma, so what if im with another guy in 2 yrs? You have no point whatsoever. Thats like telling every woman out there....No one have a boyfriend because you might break up and end up with someone else. So we're all supposed to stay single and not even try to work a relationship? Lol you are nuts

staying at home your raising a child not sat on your a$$, its a 24/7 job, more work than working in a store or whatever. Im not losing the time I have with my son for no good reason.



allie, yes being a mom is hard work but you have time to get an education ....Your child naps and im sure sleeps enough hours for you to take a couple of courses in the meantime....Your not the only woman in the wrold who is single and young and who stays home but yet there are so many who have told me they got an education at the same time. Dont make excuses..There are none! Everything is possible!

um yes he naps and I sleep at the same time in the day because I do everything myself and im shattered, at night once hes asleep I have to clean everything away, wash up, hoover, iron etc, I cant get it done in the daytime cos hes crying a lot with his teething. Then once thats done I have some time to myself or with my partner. I would go insane without any time to myself in the evening either on here or watching tv or whatever. Everyone needs a break and gets tired especially doing it mostly on your own. Once he starts pre-school it would be better to take course in something.

must be a recent change then. Because when I was out of work through no fault of my own and tried to get on an educational course I was directed to the "modern apprenticeship" which meant that I had to work my butt off for 39 hours to earn £30 - yes £30 per week or £48 on standard benefits hmmm.

I've looked at doing my a-levels but you know - even working fulltime on £7 p/h I can't afford it.

Once the mortgage, water, electric, gas, groceries, petrol, insurances (home and car) etc are taken out of our wages, we live payday to payday.

are u that dense? What doesnt make sense? I never said be single!!! I said why are u thinking that having a 3 week relationship and planning a child with this older man. Is this normal and a good example for your child?

Did you not say its 3 weeks you know him?

Did you not say he was 1 quarter of a century older than you?


Did you not say you are planning on ttc with this man?


Common ...You cant be that stupid? Tell me exactly what doesnt make sense ...I will spell it out letter for letter!

emma, while I 150% agree with you on this subject, I will tell you that this person is not going to listen to a word we say (write). So it is better not to get yourself worked up over not being able to 'reason' with her. It's ok, one day she'll look back and go, "oh gee, the people on that forum were right!" and if not, then she'll live happily ever after.

We know what comes first though, right? ;)

you know youre so right...No use in trying to talk to someone as smart as a mule. Shes a youngster and will learn the hard way and I think she will remember me. Oh well, on to better topics!!!
