AIBU to think that child tax credits should only be for the very needy rather than just supplementing people's income? Family of 5 down the street with only one part time earner heading off for 2 weeks on holiday. Isn't the govt just subsidising thei...

YANBU Iggly, as long as you hide it!

AIBU to decorate my house like this over the weekend?

don't feed the troll

you're not allowed to say "troll" - henchmen in MN logo'd trenchcoats turn up and frown at you.

Matthew Wright touting for business again.

i'd quite like that, haven't seen any male action in years.

We need a frown emoticon, like this one but not so green.

the henchmen I mean, not wrighty...

thedogs rolex - if you are single you are not allowed an opinion on this thread. You are not deserving enough.

Though quite releived you meant henchmen not Wright

here is a for the troll & one for the op
2 in one day!!

We STILL haven't heard what comes after the 'and...'!

OP, could you start another thread with the next installment in the title? Thanks.

They should be tent camping in London! How dare they?

OP, how do you know this family claims tax credits. It might appear that just one of the adults works part time but for all you know they might have a massive inheritance to spend, or perhaps one of them works nights, or they have their own business, or work from home?

If will smith in his nice suit knocks my door on behalf of mn i'll be very upset.

lol expat in their back garden! Mind you how can they afford a 7 man tent?!

theinets has been around for a while, and has posted many little gems like that in the past.

I'm not a troll. The truth ia hard for some.

theinets-aaaand, introducing, live, on MN,(drum roll), Mrs, Jeremy Kyle!!!!
Whose next post will surely be," why don't they get a job, & put something on the end of it!"
(not that I ever watch JK...)

theinets is a bit odd, only seems to post in Aibu!!

Take no notice, she is bitter, probably self employed or something and can't get her own tax credits sorted.... Her mother must be so proud if her! Not.

Why not have food vouchers instead of lavish cash handouts?

Yes all lone parents are at fault for putting themselves in that position theinets.

When I was a little girl I always dreamt of being a lone parent struggling on my own every single day and night and not having anyone to take even a bit of the strain away, having to sort all the finances out alone and face lots of difficult questions from my children alone. Sadly I got married and I have support from DH. Still maybe one day he will leave so I can get income support and live off booze and fags because that is exactly how all lone parents live after all .....

theinets what 'truth'??

Ooooh Op we get tax credits and we've had TWO holidays this year. A week in St Ives and two weeks in AMERICA so boo ya shucks to you OP.

How on earth did the OP manage that massive thread title? And a blank post.

"And" what please?

theinets yeah cos food vouchers are really going to buy school shoes and pay a gas bill aren't they??

Think lovey, think!!!

I too wish I knew the truth....
