I am 22 and I have a 1 year old and a 3 year old. I have to admit that my 1st child was a shock, I know I should of been more careful. But it was the best thing I ever did, I love her to bits! anyway, my partner works full time and I work part time, we don't need babysitters because or hours don't overlap. We have our own mortgage too. There are loads of people I know who don't work because they have children, and then they get benefits and council houses. I don't think it's very fair when I have to go to work to keep my family going. Do you think couples who have children and won't work should be made to? Even when I wasn't working, just after I had my first baby I still never claimed any benefits and we struggled on my partners wages. I understand everybody's circumstances are different but there is a girl who was boasting to her friends about how much money she gets for not working, she even said she might have another child to get even more money.
