do other countries claim money for children?

I'm fed up with paying for people with children who can not afford them. As for them paying our pensions of the future, I PAY for my pension of the future and so does every other working person. The NHS is vastly short of money yet we are giving £200.00 so pregnant women eat healthier, obviously these women who need to be educated about food should not have children as their IQs are too low!

Spoken like someone who has a decent income. Some one parent families, of which I am one (and I was married to a louse who abused me and never contributes to his kids), cannot afford to manage without family allowance. I could have done with £200 to buy decent food when I was pregnant as the louse spent most of the money on computer games (no, I didn't have a say in it). I was left with £15 to £20 per week to spend on food for 5 people and some days I didn't eat at all until evenings because there wasn't any food in the house.

Some people still might say I'm a scrounger, but I couldn't work because I had cancer, and I don't feel guilty for being on benefits because one year I paid £64,000 in taxes. I've put more into the system than I have ever taken out.

My point is that each person situation is different and so people shouldn't judge before they know the facts.

I think a lot of countries have some kind of support for low income families. However, I do think that there are already a lot of benefits for people who choose to have children - the money to promote expectant mothers to eat heailthy is ridiculous. How exactly will they make sure women will spend it on veg and not booze and fags? Moreover, it is the responsibility of the expectant mother to want the best for herself and the child and eat well. The goverment should not be nannying what people eat.

Also the problem with some people who have lots of kids and that have no means to support them apart from benefits, and come from no income/poorly educated families (although the two are not mutually exclusive), often, not always, have history repeating. Therefore the kids that are being supported by taxpayers will not necessarily pay back their investment and follow the same path of claming money for a lifetime. In that case those people need a kick up the a**!

fengirl2 is actual, assylum seekers cnnot declare any reward, whether, there's a checklist that's meant to be secret and grow to be asked to be made so via the secretary of state. The checklist pertains to social housing for assylum seekers and states, among different issues, here:- Social landlords and there workers are certain via the officialsecrets act with regards to the contents of this checklist.

Taxes paid by the kids born today will pay the pensions of the elderly tomorrow. Your children are your future. I think most European nations pay people, directly or indirectly, to have children.
