Anybody have a question?

So what are you saying? AMAs with non -UKers are pointless cos YOU don't have all the background?

This isn't AIBU. This is AMA. If you don't know - ask! That's the whole point! The OP isn't asking for help, she's just saying AMA. If you have nothing to ask, then lurk and listen. If you're at all interested.

But if the op makes a big deal about not claiming then the op is inviting questions about that, not about just being an SAHM. How can you ask anything about the things in the op if you don't know the system.

Well no its not pointless cos it stops you making stupid and quite frankly offensive comments like i presume the tax payer picks up the tab for education. bellinisurge

The UK has state education that the british tax payer is actally very proud of, so to suggest that because the OPs children access the state education system in ireland shes some how a burden to irish society.

If you don't know about something you ask about it. Thats the point of this topic. I doubt many people know anything about being a cermintorim worker (the thread that started the AMA's on MN) they asked questions about it. Were theur questions pointless? if you already knew about the system you'd have the answers so you wouldn't beed to ask questions. It would be pointless for me to ask "do you get your school books for free like in the uk" cos i quite clearly know ...no they don't thats a pointeless question, i know the answer. Asking a question about something you dont know about is never pointless how do you expect to know the answer if you dont ask a question and it stops you presuming and making presumtions

If you'd for instance said "do you have an NHS like system" the Op could answer ....no but i do/dont have a medical card (which i think should be entitled too but) most health care is private. Or if youd said oh but you do benefit from the state system in terms of the educational resources? The op could hace said yes my kids go to national school (what primary schools are called in ireland) but i have to scrimp and save to get the booklist which may have sparked another queation of whats a book list? To whivh the op could have gone "its the list of books we get every june (may in secondry schools) tjat we have to buy for tje next year.

Rather than the indignate "i presume the irish tax payer picks up tje tab for education" yes you dont know thats why your presuming asking a question then you'd know for sure.

Wow. Stupid and offensive. Nice. Op, get the thread title changed or continue to mislead people.

Even now your plan is to go back to college and not immediately simply work if and when the time comes.

Do you genuinely want to work or does the idea scare you?

There nothing wrong with wanting to be qualified.

Stupid and offensive ?

Op, someone called me stupid and offensive. Not you.

Why on earth should the op have to 'declare' she's Irish on the title. I live in the North east of England, do I need to spell that out in every thread I post?

Or maybe she wasn't just expecting questions about the tax and education system. And as ax pp pointed out this is ama, a place where posters ask the op questions.

Ive explained why i feel the "i presume the irish tax payer is picking up the tab is offensive belinsurgeits the implication that accessing state education is some how a burden. Let me ask you this then bellinsurge maybe you'll understand do your children go to state funded schools? As the majority of children do? Are you a scronger? Can i say to you "i presume the Uk tax payer is picking up the tab for education" as if you didnt deserve it? You do know that the five of the most deprived areas europe are have a guesz where, the UK, are the children who don't get fed other than when their at school, scrongers? bellinsurge are they? Or are they indeed entitled to a free education amd free health care just like you? Yes they are. So bellinsurge ops children are entitled to a less free but state funded education without their mother geting nasty comments like "i presume the irish tax payer picks up the tab for education" or maybe rather than explain it i should have been equally offensive back and gone "i presume the tab for your childrens education is picked up by the UK tax payer let alone their and your own health care"
See i've made a stupid assumtion about something i don't know anything about. Yes. Only i didnt because i asked before i said that, do your children go to state school?

Ask a question discover the facts.

Op has miss titled yes, which is why i said maybe get it changed but she hasnt delibrately misslead anyone. She like you didnt realuse the diffenfe in systems.

Op tje stupid and ofgesive is in rekation to something i said

Isn't a woman's work as wife and mother, in the home, written into the Irish constitution in some way (somewhat controversially these days). So regardless of what you personally think about being a sahm, the Irish state, where the poster lives, does not recognise such a person as being a 'sponger', but as a contributing member of society.

"Mislead people"

Utterly bizarre.

Bellini I don’t know what your problem is but you’ve been nasty from start to finish in this thread. OP does not need to get her title changed. She has misled no-one. She stated a fact and invited questions, the answer to one of those questions is that OP is in Ireland.

You clearly have nothing you want to ask the OP so leave her alone and find another thread.

@StealthPolarBear because the NE if England is the same country as the UK. Where MN is based.
@NaughtToThreeSadOnions - sorry you are reading all kinds of shit into what I said. I explained that I don't know about the Irish education system. But continue to have a go at me if it makes you feel better.

treacle I think that's on the way out. Thought I heard something about it on the radio the other day. They're making it gender neutral or something.

Elspeth yes, I think I only heard of it recently because it came on the news that they want to get rid of it. But it did pop into my head when someone popped up earlier to accuse the OP of being a drain on resources.

I didnt call you stupid and offesive bellingsurge i called the statement "i presume the irish tax payer picks up the tab for education" stupid and offesive because it was said out of ignorance you yourself say you dont know anything about the irish education system NO SO ASK before MAKING SWEEPING ASSUMTIONS the very point of this thread. As ive explained twice i find the suggestion that accessing state education is some how wrong/scromging/a burden to the state offensive.

I dont know you personally i cant say wether your either stupud or offesive i can however see what you write and making persumtions without asking to gain knowledge when presented with a thread to ASK QUESTIONS, is to me 'stupid' and as ive just stated ive explained why i find the statement offesive

It might not be what you meant bellingsurge but implying that the irish tax payer shouldnt pick up the tab for eduction is wrong and thats what you did and how i read it. You know how your not liking me telling you what to think dont tell me what to think either!

You repeatedly say you dont know about it.SO ASK! the point of the tread!

@NaughtToThreeSadOnions I didn't imply that. You just assumed that was my line of questioning.

Like i said you might not of meant it, but its how I READ it which is why i answered it at first with all the added costs to education that irish parents incure. To which your response was i didnt know to which i said so ask because it would hace stopped people reading in to it.

Thats also the benefit of asking, you dont imply things you dont nean too

@NaughtToThreeSadOnions - thanks

bellinsurge for what i still find the statement offensive and in utterly perplexed by your replys by there we go. Bye now

I thanked you for sharing your wisdom and putting me in my place. Cheers.

Yes bellinsurge i didnt think you were ignorant rude or offesive at the begining of this conversation i now really do.

I actally think you absolutely did mean to imply that the irish tax payer waa "picking up the tab" like op didnt deserve it.

Your sarcstic tone belies your true attitude RUDE
