single parents on benefits,,do you feel guilty

[TheAngelWearsPrada]

am i the only one that feels like when you go to job centre plus etc your on trial ,,mmm maybe it is just me ,

I asked xp to contribute some bus fare for the easter hols as I had pretty much sorted out a few things to take the kids too, but the bus fare is a bit of a killer, and i'd worked out it would cost me about £20 so could he pay half.

His answer ? Sorry, can't afford it.

Easy as that, just 4 little words, one of which they don't mean, and 3 of which aren't true.

My ex complained to me today that the csa are going to take £30 (a whole £30!) a week off him

I pointed out that he effectively got 24 hour childcare for £30 a week.

I doubt I could find 24 hour childcare for £30 a week, so I could get a full time job i enjoy, instead of something to fit a childminer and playschool and kids needs round.`

but then, I do get to live witht he kids, which he would love to do.
