A girl I went to school with had a kid a year later purely so she'd get moved up the council house list.Not the best of reasons, perhaps. She's not worked since because, apparently, child care costs more than she'd make working the same number of hours.

she'll get £20 a week for it in child benefit, wowzers.do you know you can get paid £150 a week or more to foster a child? So if that kid got taken into care and rehomed, some middle class family could get paid more than the kid's own mum. In fact £150 a week was more than I got paid in my first job.

Well, plus her rent paid and her unemployment benefit and all her medical and dental care, free prescriptions and glasses, yes.

So parents get paid more to live apart than they would to be married and kids will be better provided for if they don't live with their natural parents?Hey, who says the nuclear family is dead?

The nuclear family was always a con,it was only ever a stepping stone between the traditional extended family and Aldous Huxley's dystopian nightmare.
I didn't even get paid £150 a week in my first job.
