Benefits - Only for lazy, stupid people....

The system will work like it does in MOST countrys.

It is is simply.

Your mum is a classic case of somebody taking more out of the economy that she puts in.

You know what that is sweetie? Life.

Celebrities and business people can afford expensive nannies to ensure their children have enriching childhoods. I'm talking people working minimum wage (presuming they have no qualifications and that's why they're studying as well as working etc.).
Thinking that working full time, then looking after children, then learning, then going to bed for 6 hours before getting up and doing it again with no time for yourself, social interaction outside of work or children or to make sure your children are properly enriched is difficult, bad for the children and can cause physical and mental exhaustion is not lazy, its realistic.

With no hard feelings towards your family as a whole, your cousin represents everything I detest about how the welfare state has been abused:



Example of abusing opportunities.



Indicative of state of mind.



Now that is truly sickening. I've recently watched a documentary of child poverty in America (Panaroma so it is biased) but it goes to show unbelievably selfish some people are in the UK. There are families who cannot buy certain properties because they are out of their reach which is sensible to keep within your means, but it is mindblowing their self entitled attitude some people have. Just wow!


Unfortunately, this type of attitude will continue and it is likely her children will have a similar outlook. Not only is she recklessly abusing the taxpayers' money and her childrens' livelihood, she will face this situation for the rest of her life.

See the above poster, who, like me and many others, knows someone with kids who works, studies, is on an average to low income and still manages to stay alive and live a decent life. And we thought pigs couldnt fly, eh?

Don't condescend me.
There's a difference between working, supporting yourself and your family and doing something that is physically and mentally draining and unhealthy just to be able to feed your kids.

The average nanny salary is £300-£600npw for a live out, 250-450npw for a live in. I think your thinking about Aupairs, they are unqualified and live for "pocket money" in exchange for 20/25 hours work a week.

40 hours a week at minimum wage is £243.20, with rent, food etc. there's hardly enough money left for a nanny. Nursery childcare and after-school clubs are expensive enough.

It's nothing permanent. Most parents work 10/12 hours a day. You would be studying to better your career prospects. Study harder, the quicker it happens.

You could commit to an hour a week, but you'll still be sat there on your 50th birthday trying to better your life.

You can get benefits to pay for child care.

Depends on the area you live in. Most nannies working a 50 hour week here in London are paid £11nph. Nothing to be sniffed at. Thats more than a NQTs salary.

I know, I'm happy you do. But Chloe xxx and NYprincessmaddie don't want people taking any of their hard earned cash - of which these childcare benefits are.

Apart from child benefit, which everyone in the country is entitled too, you have to be working to claim these benefits. There for, technically, it is your money just as much as it is mine.

No, its not about that. Its about not allowing people to laze around and breed more lazes who will follow their example. Teach people to get off their backside, work or study and do something with their life. Then they can have their benefits, same as EMA where you enrol in college, have to prove your attendance then get paid a (reduced) amount of benefit for yourself and your kids. Give people some incentive to get off their backsides and make a career.
