No they should be forced out into paid employment.

do gerbils and hamsters count?

SlartyBartFast · 05/11/2008 23:01

what is SAH?
stay at home????????

Benefits - In my next life I am coming back as a dog in our house. All the food you want, lots of kids to make a fuss of you and right now millions of pheasants to chase (dont tell the farmer next door...) when you are tired just lie on the sofa and wait for the next meal _ Just realised how much this sounds like my recently departed H just swap pheasant for women and there you go!

indeed they should. DS2 wanted to know why dh and I refer to the pontipines as the worlds worst parents

M-P has to do all the cleaning. never mind his flippin posh blanket. sailing in boat wins over cleaning in my opinion.

anyway, the tombliboos have got it totally made. Nothing that a bit of new elastic in their trousers couldn't put right anyway.

gigglewitch · 05/11/2008 23:13

btw d'you think the wattingers and pontipines live on SAH benefits then

2shoes · 05/11/2008 23:13

dd is a single mum. she has 2 babies and no husband(well she is 13)
she leaves them at home alone all the time as she can't aford childcare whilst she is at her sn school. so I think she should get benifits as well as dogs.

possibly. otherwise marry it, divorce it and claim maintenance off it instead

Gillyan · 05/11/2008 23:42

I'm new to Mumnest and am so shocked by all the bitchy comments on her about people who recieve benefits, as someone who has been in receipt of benefits and is now employed again i find it really rude that you are tarring everyone with the same brush. U all must have very cushy lives and never have to think about the despair of relying on state benefits. Well done u lot! Maybe you should think before you get the tongues lashing..
