To have another child and be done with it

I need to have a section with any other baby I have, I don't particularly like the thought of this and would love to avoid it but unfortunately cannot avoid it.

But I would like to start toning up my belly, should I just have another baby and tone up after? Or tone up for nothing as will need a section anyway

I'm currently on JSA, but I do work 16 hour so will be able to save from my work.

Should I just get child baring over and done with?

Well the baby you have clearly isn't making you happy so why on earth would you think that another one will! What a stupid reason to have a baby.

Your life needs sorting before you bring another mouth to feed into the world. You can't have much money. Do you want to bring your children up in poverty? If you think it's tough to find a job with 1 child, then 2 will make that much harder, but I suspect you don't really care because the state will pay for you anyway. They aren't going to force someone with a baby to work. I'm sure your youngest has to be 5 before they make you work or do courses. I also do t know why you say you won't study. You have no qualifications so why wouldn't you try to get yourself some? This will help you immensely in the future. You write coherently, which is a damn sight more than a lot of young people these days when things like spelling and grammar seem to be in decline. You can use this to your advantage and get some qualifications under your belt. Does the local college not have a creche? DH's cousin has had a baby at 18, and returned to her college course and the baby goes in the creche an she goes and breastfeeds it in her breaks. She is determined that she wants to carry on her education and get a job. You have to suck it up and get on with your situation. Your DP cannot have the luxury of only getting jobs that are a few hours in the evenings, he had to take what he can get, when he can get. People who think they can pick and choose whilst claiming benefits really annoy me. The jobcentre isn't going to say 'no, don't take that paying job because we have sent you on a course' that won't happen.
