    Successive governments have developed this benefits culture and I can't see anyone with the bottle to sort it out it's akin to trying to put the genie back in the bottle.

    When teaching sex education in schools these days, the teachers should also teach them about Contraception and how important it is. Teach them as well, that 16 is the Minimum age for sex to take place.

    As for single mums through divorce, or becoming a widow and going back to work, WHO will pay them enough to pay the extortionate charges that 'Registered' child-minders charge these days and from what I have heard, £40 Per Day, Per child? In the meantime, the rest of them should have kept their legs crossed in the first place.

    £40 PER DAY!!!! WHERE?..I've looked on the OFSTED site and can't find anyone charging that:scratch:....Not in this county that's for sure!..
    BTW,My wife is a Child Minder and is a loving caring soul who also gives those in her care direction and social skills. She is 'Registered' of course , I mean doesn't every parent want the best and safest for their little ones,but I can tell you that every child here comes by recommendation from other parents not via the internet. You are all welcome to come and spend some time here and see just how magical my wife is with the kiddies,I love 'em too if it comes to that!! They have a positive time here.
    To imply that the kiddies turn out to be a bit uncontrolable because they are with a Minder does have a little truth ,but only because they are just spoilt rotten by loving yet guilty parents at having to leave them and WORK...which is what this was thread was about isn't it,being responsible members of,in some circles, that dirty word 'Society'?

    Shouldn`t the chaps have kept it their pants aswell Mikkel?:scratch:

    Course if the absent fathers took some responsiblilty-maybe a few lads needed a pasting off their own fathers a little more often-these Mums wouldn`t need any handouts. So it`s all the mans fault.

    We do our very best for the little souls and their caring parents....but I'm waiting for clueless and mikkel to expand their expert knowledge to my wife...perhaps we are missing something ....about £25 a day each it seems...but then what we do is not purely for the money...sillly us!:scratch:

    Do not agree with that Claire women are allways going on about how they are in charge of their own body and can do as they like, they should say no more often.
