This law will not work as all they will do is pop-out another free meal ticket.

On one hand i totally agree with you, and as a single mum working with a well paid job compared to a lot of people , it annoys me people having kids to get benefits BUT in an ideal world id have stayed married and maybe stayed at home with the kids, as the goverment and various groups say the best thing for kids and working mums are harming their kids etc etc.... so actually i think its a hypocritical and predjudiced law, if you are a couple ona low income mum can stay at home with kids but if alone you cannot have that choice. i think it boils down to all single mums being typecast...it should be acknowledged that a high percentage of women were married and ended up bringing kids up alone because the dads couldnt hack the responsibility, and unfortunatly this is not always easy to predict...kids raised in single parent families are suposedly going to grow up to be delinquents and maybe these kids need more parental presence than kids with 2 parents. whats the answer?? who knows but this law has made me really think about the lack of support and choices decent parents have because of the stigma borne from low life women who pop them out to a variety of men who you know damn well are no good and have only the intention of living off benefits all their lives, once the kids have left home it is suprising how many of these women become disabled and unable to work.

well welfare single moms i hope u mean. i have v3 vand have no problem working. they shouldnt be sleeping with everyone, people they dont know or havea bay with a man that they alreday know is a loser. i wish people knew that having a baby doesnt keep a man. they probably will give out another meal ticket. what about the single fathers? fathers rae only described as dead beat. not true. how many mothers have their kids taken into foster care everyday? how many grandparents are raising their daughyters kids. There are dead beat parents in each gender. We should be looking out for all single oparents not just moms. why are men required to pay child support to a mother whos on welfare assistance, housing assistance and every other assistance available. They arent doing anyting 4 the child but the man stillhas to pay. if she cant support the kids she shouldnt have custody. period. She can have an abortion if shes not ready with the dads permission or not. thats not fair. my couson wentthrough a lot of apin because his girlfriend killed their unborn child and he would have raised it on his own but no she killed the baby.

Ah, I never thought of that, possibly true for some simpletons but i digress.
OK, I was a single mum with 1 child, I'd moved back to this country after having been away for a while and didnt think that it would pay me to go out to work seeing as my rent and council tax were being paid, plus I had a little money to spend also. Boy was I wrong, after three months I was bored sh i tless with not working so decided i would get a job. I had money coming out of my ears, didnt realise how much better off I'd be what with working tax credits and child tax credits.
Its the best thing the government can do, get people off their lazy a r s e s and get back to the real world!!

I do believe your thinking stero-type here. Although it comes to something when others have this view.......there are ppl sad enuf to have kids and not bother working. I have a 4 yr old son, and before i split with his dad i worked part-time. when we split up, i got a full-time job straight away, i run my own car, i pay all my bills myself, my son attends a private nursery until he goes to school in september and i'm only on the national minimum wage!!! My boyfriend is also a single parent, he also works and runs his own house. I'm not saying its easy because its not, but we havr the children and its our responsibility to raise them and provide for them. I hope that for some childrens sake you are not right about this new law that will be passed!

As i am regularly informed being a mum is a full time job so it's another bit of silliness from a desperately sad government

If they wanted to pop out more kids they'll have done it. Most want to work but find child care and benefit loss stops them! Well done Government!

I think people will probably end up having more kids too.... There is nothing wrong with having to work!

I thought it was illegal to leave kids on their own until age 13.
