What about people who don’t work due to ill health or disability?
If they claim benefits, they’re scrounging off the government and it’s totally disgusting.
If they are on sick pay, they’re scrounging off their employer and it’s totally disgusting.
If they are supported by a parent, they’re scrounging off someone they claim to love and it’s totally disgusting.
If they support themselves just because they can afford to, well then I don’t know but I’m sure it’s totally disgusting anyway.

^^ I meant partner not parent but either will do.

I'm a single SAHM on benefits. BENEFITS DO YOU HEAR? Am currently self flagellating as a kind of foreplay for my kicking used to Mumsnet attitudes and couldn't give a toss what other people think- in real life no one could care less

sonlypuppyfat · 19/02/2018 16:22

My nightmare is having to go back to work, Fuck that

Shutupanddance1 · 19/02/2018 16:23

All signed up... here I am with my feckless, let’s not forget all them wonderful qualifications I’m ‘wasting’ while looking after the kiddies Wine

Moonandstars84 · 19/02/2018 16:24

Part time sah leech here. I do work but only a few days a month.
Although I still maintain I am not unemployed the rest of the month.

WishingOnABar · 19/02/2018 16:25

I can’t do Thursday for the WOHM kicking OP as I will be at WORK Grin but Friday will be fine because I am P/T and “allowing other people to pay for my lifestyle choices” by getting topped up by Tax Credits (genuine co-worker quote)

Late to the party because of watching daytime tv.
Did anyone mention mums on benefits?

LuxuryMilk · 19/02/2018 16:26

I’ll have to sleep off my kicking tomorrow when the kids are at school. Nothing like getting back in to bed after a busy morning Wink

Fintress · 19/02/2018 16:27

Until 6 months ago, I had no job and stayed at home, despite the fact that I don’t even have DC at home any more.

Me too apart from the 6 months ago Grin. Stay at home 'retired' mum, stepmum and now a lazy arsed stay at home wife. Ready for my kicking 👍🏻

Laiste · 19/02/2018 16:27

Oh fuck am i too late?

Belated lick?

buckbeak · 19/02/2018 16:27

Here for my kicking Grin

I homeschool my ds7 due to severe bullying at school, it was actually Mumsnetters who gave me the courage to pull him out of school.

And my DS 4 has severe epilepsy, so he's going to be homeschooled too.

I also have a dd 1.

But I make cakes to earn some pennies does that count?

Laiste · 19/02/2018 16:27

LICK?! ha ha

NordicNobody · 19/02/2018 16:28

Not only am I a sahm, I dropped out of medical school to do it AND I'm unmarried! I'd therefore like to request that my kicking takes place whilst a chorus of strangers remind me that I'm in constant financial peril, and my mother weeps and repeats the phrase "you could have been a doctor". Thanks.

Rufustherenegadereindeer1 · 19/02/2018 16:28

ISaySteadyOn · 19/02/2018 16:28

Signing in for my kicking. It will be more interesting than sitting in this stupid ballet hall waiting for DD2 and keeping DS from destroying said hall through sheer boredom.

DeadButDelicious · 19/02/2018 16:28

That is a very different kind of thread Laiste Grin

Fintress · 19/02/2018 16:29

it takes me all my time to be ready for when This Morning starts.

How common, it's Jezza Kyle in this house. Packet of Jaffa cakes, gallon of tea and 20 fags and I'm set for the day.

Laiste · 19/02/2018 16:30

steady i'm meant to be sitting in a ballet hall with DD (4) , but am laid up with Tonsilitis and can't take her. Even in this pain i'm quite relieved Grin

ThroughThickAndThin01 · 19/02/2018 16:30

I’m still smarting at SAHLeeches - a lovely title handed out by one of the Emmas. Grrrrrrr.

When do I show up for my kicking?

I'm a part-time working at home mum and a one day a week volunteering mum and rest of the time a SAHM.

Does that mean I only get a partial kicking?

Spudlet · 19/02/2018 16:33

Someone said SAH leech?! How rude!

1ndig0 · 19/02/2018 16:34

Who are "the Emmas" ThickandThin?
