This generation has so much...That is so true Bron. This generation has so much given to them and they expect more. I know of a young lady with incredibly rich parents (you know them as well) and she received a huge baby bonus which she spent on herself. Her mother tells me she fell pregnant as the boyfriend had lost interest in her and 'trapped him' by taking herself off the pill. It didn't work and he moved on, but the incentive was the baby bonus. Would she have fallen pregnant had the baby bonus not been available, I don't know, but gut feel says no. She was also on a large single mum pension as the babys father was still at university and unable to contribute. This is not isolated, she tells me of two of her school friends who did exactly the same. I have in fact met them at the childs birthday party. The mums and bubs were all still living at home with their parents. The girl in question was living in a multi million dollar house with the taxpayers paying her single pension. Parents provided roof over head free, food free, toys like you wouldn't believe free. Why did she need the money. I say means test any funds given to single parents and explore what support they have from their family.anjanettenoreply@blogger.com
