Melissa Whitchurch, one of the parents in the story of having to live on 74 pence, lost her job 11 years ago due to ill health. But I see she has a 5 year old daughter.
My question is which is harder? Going to work or looking after a kid???
If she is much better, why cannot she get a job?????
Perhaps her pregnancy was unplanned or resulted in a failure of contraception Sparklykid, she would then be left with the choice of having her baby or aborting her baby, that can happen to anyone, nothing to say she planned for anyone else to pay for her child.
Disabled people can also work! No reason why she could not get a job in a call centre or doing something less active and leave her partner, unemployed due to 'mental issues' to look after the child.
I would have loved to have stayed home to look after my boys, but I was back at work as soon as my maternity was up. I certainly did not expect any hangouts from the government.
