Anyone watching amy my body for bucks on bbc3

[twinsetandpearls]

I know or did know of a few mums in similar situations.

Mm not sure what i think of her living arrangements. And if he is trying to keep this secret at work going on tv won't help.

do you mean from people at uni? i have just started watching this. what's wrong with her living arrangements?

oh just got to that bit!! can lecturers get in trouble for sleeping with their students or is it allowed at uni?

yes totally agree if they both want to keep things secret not sure why they've gone on tv ...

I watched it last night. Wouldn't she get income support, child benefit and housing benefit along with child tax and csa or does she miss out because shes a student? And if she does couldn't someone report her for earning extra money? I've seen her around alot as she lives local and don't think any less of her. Think her relationship with her tutor is a little odd. Sometimes tho, if you need the money you do whatever it takes.

you can't get income support if you're a student. it mentioned on the show mia's dad does give amy money but it's not a formal arrangement so i guess the csa aren't involved.

she should get 85% childcare paid for though.

i'm amazed that no one told her about the grants she could apply for until now!!!

I was wondering if anyone had anything to say about this...

Why was she carrying on with it. Both nights we saw her she made no money at all. And it must have been (obviously was) totally exhausting and have an impact on her studies. And I felt sorry for her little girl.

because when she didn't do it she had even less money.
