My course is full time with placement and I have to get to train there. Tax credits are for childcare not for living costs. Hes on a pretty shit wage right now but with this take over has prospects dont want to leave job with prospects in recession. We need to claim tax credits because with 3 children childcare is 300 a week from tax credits and only 188 from nhs bursaries which is crazy and also harsh to student nurses. The childcare for the other 2 has to be full day rate as with travelling time Im out from 6.45 and the person I have doing littlest I am giving her full days as she is only caring for my 1 and cant afford to.live otherwise as Im replacing her chambermaiding job.

thought you said social worker?

Anonymai · 04/04/2014 20:03

No. No tax credits for you, you leech. Have some pride and respect for your choices and don't expect people to provide for you.

Needsmorecake · 04/04/2014 20:04

and you are paying most to a childminder who needs your one child to live... yet earlier you said they were raking it in on £4 and hour and would do extra for a dominoes.

and that lone parents should be childminders as they can make a living from that, yet in your own example a few hours later you point out that they cant.

BULLSHIT.

bit sick of this now.

gordyslovesheep · 04/04/2014 20:04

heis unless you are pretending to be a single parent...it's 24 hrs worked by one person in a couple not 16

hth

Needsmorecake · 04/04/2014 20:07

yeah, dont expect people to provide for you, for your mistakes, for your CHOICES,

You chose to have a baby when it wasnt the right time. You dont have the room, 4 people already in a 2 bed flat. You dont have the money to afford it, SO, why the hell are you doing it. Dont expect the tax payer to pick up the pieces for YOUR LIFESTYE CHOICES

but yeah, feel free to judge single mothers who migth have escaped abuse, or widowers... for they arent working hard enough to better themselves.

jesus wept.
and im bloody atheist too. but good lord.

Needsmorecake · 04/04/2014 20:08

its just another place where heiss has tripped up. its bull.
whole thing is bull.

MoominsYonisAreScary · 04/04/2014 20:12

My friend was getting nearly £1000 a month childcare costs in her bursery

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:15

Heis is a nurse and a social worker the same thing i your world?

RandallFloyd · 04/04/2014 20:16

If your imaginary- course is full time with placement, what imaginary-- job are you taking/not taking mat leave from exactly?

Needsmorecake · 04/04/2014 20:16

See. Its because its bull.

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:18

I would just like to observe at this point that Nristol is not an easy Uni to get into, they have high academic standards.

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:18

^Bristol

RandallFloyd · 04/04/2014 20:18

Oh, fucked up my PA crossings out there!

Needsmorecake · 04/04/2014 20:19

What imaginary job where you had two in full time childcare?

Thats paying mat leave but means you still need 50hrs per week childcare for a baby. That you intend to juggle said job with a full time uni place.

To better yourself and become a nurse/social worker/daily mail reporter.

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:20

Not sure why you are bothering crossing out 'imaginary' TBH Grin

heisenberg999 · 04/04/2014 20:21

I a social worker in training but my bursary covers all medical as well dont know why their threshold are so much lower than tax credits as its mostly womem who become nurses, sws etc so qiite sexist imo.I am a assistant nursery manager in a deprived area at the moment which Im doing until Sept.

Anonymai · 04/04/2014 20:22

Course you are wink wink nudge nudge

RandallFloyd · 04/04/2014 20:22

I know. Once you've gone PA it's hard to stop Grin

heisenberg999 · 04/04/2014 20:23

Gordy - A couple had to work both 16 to be entitled to childcare. It doesnt matter if one does 50 one does 8 at the mo but it will when universal credit comes in as there wont be a minimum.

gordyslovesheep · 04/04/2014 20:23

hahahahaha okay Grin

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:25

Wrong again Heis

fideline · 04/04/2014 20:26

Strange use of time this for someone who will soon be obliged to put their 2wk old in 50hr p/w childcare Hmm
