A right old kerfuffle has happened and child benefits in this country are going to be capped. Too right in my opinion! Why should the people who earn reasonable money get the same benefit as people who are unemployed/sick (or cannot work for any other reason) and are really in need of those benefits?
These politicians have their work cut out trying to convince the public that this is a good thing. Maybe after the initial outrage the great British beneficiary receiving public (who have made a serious career of claiming benefits) will see the method behind the madness and put up and shut up. Maybe I am expecting too much? Remains to be seen...
I grew up with single mum as a sole provider for me and my Big Brother, and she really had to rely on the state benefits in Finland to survive and keep us fed and clothed on a teachers salary. This was because my news paper editor dad (who went awol when I was 3) drank all his money and gave no assistance what so ever financially during our up bringing. Where would we have been without those benefits? Does not bare thinking about really...

Why stop the benefits of one parent earning over £44k a year(which i agree with). but not that of two parents earning £40k each?
£44k annually is an ENORMOUS amount of money. You should be able to support the children that YOU HAVE CHOSEN to have with that much money.
To have kids is a choice. Make sure you can afford it if you choose to do so. Don't expect other people to pay for them.
Contraception is FREE in this country, yet we are almost over populated with some people expecting to live a life on benefits.
And that is all I got to say about that. This debate ends here in this blog.
Can I have a say? Buy me and stop one springs to mind! Might have missed some, not been on too much. But you reap what you sow. There`s too many single parents. We could have all been there, but for whatever`s sake--------- keep ya legs crossed! You know why I`ve not been on here much missus, and I hope you are well xx hugs to our friend too. xx
