Benefit Bashing

[Kendodd]

A mum I know and her DP with two children live in a two bed (nice) HA house. Neither of them work and have not worked for as long as I've known them (two years) I don't know about before then. She has told me they are trying for another baby, not to get a bigger house or anything, just because they want four children eventally. I would love four children but can't have that many because for one we just can't afford four.

AIBU to feel a bit pissed off that they can have more children and I can't or am I just a jealous benefit basher.

ps They are both nice and don't have a flatscreen TV.

sorry, pervious page.

thats what happened to me TSC. EXP was raking it in, i was working partime, decide to go self employed, he said yeah go for it I'm earning enough. now he's gone so i am scum! daft old me.

if u want 4 kids, u should have 4 kids and u'll find a way through, shouldn't begrudge others their life choices yabu

them poles wont writhe round themselves...

Why do you keep calling me a pole dancer? It makes no sense! I'm not in my underwear on any of my pictures on a pole lmao! I'm fully clothed!

Oh MarioandLuigi- Yep I claim tax credits. Again, universal upto a certain income. Not means tested. Question answered!

Now I really do have to go. Have fun.

Thesecondcoming how exactly am I smug?

Is it wrong to work hard and pay for your own child?

Is it wrong to feel pissed off at people scrounging off the government while a large portion of them don't look for work?

And people aren't slinking off defeated FYI! They're going to bed... Some people have things to do and benefit seekers with a massive sense of entitlement just won't be told.

actually an internet connection is pretty cheap these days....internet mobiles cost from as little as £8 a month; cheaper than some phones without internet.

and mobiles are pretty much seen as a necessity rather than a luxury these days and a real alternative to a landline; I know lots who have no landline at all infact, so your argument is pretty much invalid giraffeonit. Or are you suggesting that poor people shouldn't have telephones/TVs/a life?

now what's that old saying again.....pride comes before a fall? As has already been said, no-one knows whare they will be in a year/two years time, especially given the way things are shaping up since May 2010.

Crispycakehead everythings cheap when it's not you that pays for it!

And secondcoming - I was simply responding to someone who suggested I get an education.

Lol!

Love it.

what is a benefit seeker?

is that someone who looks for benefits before actually claiming?

"Is it wrong to feel pissed off at people scrounging off the government while a large portion of them don't look for work?"

just make sure you direct your anger at the people who deserve it. we aren't all lazy good for nothing scroungers.

Boofuckinghoo - I wouldn't know the right term... But jump straight on that when it is crystal clear that you have no other defence.

Giraffe to Popcrackle Popcrackle it is your attitude that is disgusting - do you really think it's at all acceptable to have children and expect everyone else to pay for them??



... And Popcrackle - I am educated to university level! Probably why I can afford to support my child huh?

Well, well - let?s just be clear here. I'm going to hazard a guess that when you did you degree, you and your parents were cool with everyone else paying for you to go to University, with the resultant outcome of higher earnings.
Glad it was not all down to hard work for you. A bit of help from your fellow tax payers must have really come in handy for you.

Well, anger is being directed at me, I'm being judged as well, am I not entitled to do the same?

You're fighting a battle with the MN Liberal Mafia.

At least in RL they are the minority!

can someone please answer my question???

if i give up my internet and PC can i have another child? i have all the clothes and equipment from ds2 and i will BF exclusively for 6 months, i also have reusable nappies. it really wont cost the taxpayer me anything at all til it's about 5, i will just share the other two's food out for teh baby.

aslong as you direct it at the right people. dont brand us all just because one person is judging you. not a very thought out response is it?

saw it booy....thread moving too fast, lol

giraffes; I am not a benefit seeker with a massive sense of entitlement, and neither are TSC and Booy and others from their posts. From what I can see, those arguing against the ridiculous judgments being poured on this anonymous family are all people who have paid our taxes for many years and are either now, or have done in the past, used our contributions to society to get us over a rough patch.

Don't think there is a benefit scrounger amongst us

giraffe what are you referring to?

2.1
Canterbury
English lit & film studies.

And yes, I use it in my job.

Next?

"Boofuckinghoo - I wouldn't know the right term... But jump straight on that when it is crystal clear that you have no other defence."

Starlightprincess.... I might just leave it and go to bed!

I have to take my baby to overpriced swimming lessons in the morning. Lol..
