I personally think its ridiculous the amount you get on benfits. Im a young mum of 19 who works hard to provide for my son , I probalby would be better off packing in my job and "signing on" however its the right thing for a mum to do , go out and work rather than sit about all day. It really angers me. Its not a good example to show your children , you sitting about all day is it ? Im glad the new goverment is cracking down big time on all the lazy people not wanting jobs as im sick of paying tax for it ! That is all.
