I'm a working mum of 2yr old daughter+6yr old step-daughter. Me+my partner have fully supported my step-daughter forever.
Fair do's, I really don't get on with his ex.This is mainly because I don't agree with her lifestyle(claims to be a single parent-she's not,never worked, benefit fraud,etc.. basic social scum).
As she has had another baby with(yet another) partner, she was cont by CSA. And we must now start paying money to the government(this money is to cover the income support she receives each month).
My grievance is NOT with paying the money. BUT with the fact that if she worked this would not be an issue+we would be able to carry on the way we were doing it before(we supply all her clothes,shoes,school uniform+other stuff). We now are paying money, so we can't afford to buy these things for her. But neither can her mother as she is getting the same as she was before from her benefits.
Basically, why should we all pay for the mothers simple choice of not working?
