    There is a very specific sort of single mother described in the opening post, around which this thread is based.

    Good luck with the thread, I'm sure it will be golden.

    It's a good thing then that no-one's attention will be caught by the thread title. Though it is a tad unfortunate that the OP wrote that instead of "Some Irish single mothers I heard speaking on the radio, about whom I've no idea how representative of all Irish single mothers they are," probably in a brief fit of temporary insanity.

    Still, it's good to see that despite the misleading thread title, no-one's made any generalisations or clichéd "the attitude of people today" posts.

    Jesus...

    Did the first lady just give out about "people coming here getting everything and we're gettin nothing".

    No.


    Now they're giving out about polish. **** off.
    spongers giving out about other spongers
    It would be funny if they didn't make me pay for it.

    yeah it actually sounds like a mother, whose Boyfriend did a runner, and left her holding the baby, yep it happened for ions (decades) yet everyone seems to think it's ok to blame the girl, what about the scum bag father that decided I can shag this girl "lovely" where are they held responsible

    As I said in another post earlier on, it ain't as black and white, as we may think, or society thinks

    Pay children's allowance up to 2 kids and they are on their own after that.

    Well we could stop stupid people from reproducing. People who make stupid posts about single mothers on message boards, for instance. We could round them up and cut the bollocks off the lot of them.
    would be interesting to know how many welfare recipients thanked this post

    What about families that have 4 children, are you stating that the first and second born are more important and deserve more care, than the third and fourth born, who how became second class citizens in the country their where born into.

    You clearly didn't think it through did you.

    You have to get welfare to have a problem with stupid posts about single mothers?

    So if a father runs for it after child 4, its tough luck for the mother?

    I would imagine they were trying to make the point that rather than giving money to the mother for books, school supplies etc, that money should instead be given in the form of books and school supplies - this way, the money goes on school supplies and only on school supplies. I don't think they were talking about replacing their dole with Dickens novels..

    Nice overreaction all the same.

    Ya maybe that could be done instead of the back to school allowance but you will still have to give money to mother for the day to day costs of the child.

    If the kid gets meals in school it surely helps. And parents get their own benefits... or they can even look for work. They would have to buy these anyway so providing them directly only makes sure that they are spent on the child and not on parents' fun or habits.

    Why can the children only eat in school?
    Is it a case of "Sorry Johnny, no dinner today, it's Saturday"???

    How do you know you've hard times? When Paddy O'Gorman sticks a microphone in your face.

    Irish Single Mothers Moronic minority of people who think reproducing entitles them to the same services and assets most other people pay for from their own hard earned cash. Or something along those lines. :cool:

    Who said only in school. But surely with some types of parents the more comes to the child directly the better, and honest parents would not mind as they would be buying it all anyway.

    Not my problem, not the States problem, but it should be YOUR problem if you decide to have them without being able to provide for them

    And isn't it funny how no one has a problem with child benefit for the wealthy?

    You do realise extreme poverty is everyone's problem, because it leads to higher crime rates? Which leads to the need for more cops..which leads to the need for more prisons...more judges...more court houses...and finally more taxes to fund all of the more crime regulatory bodies.

    I don't get this argument about buying your way out of crime wave. It only reinforces the notion that work is irrelevant and passes is down another generation.

    Thugs don't seem to be starving, their benefits are only a nice little earner on the side.

    It generally is after child number 1 (father running = tough luck)

    Now don't get me wrong as I said you can't force someone to be a mother or father, and men and women can equally do the running, but to generalise about "Single Moms" most of the ones I know are the strongest parents in the world, some have the father within the childs life some don't, some are actually the father as the (single Mom) but at all times they have the best interest of the child that they love, as the core of any decisions they made.

    This is now part of our constitution, family and support for every individual is important, yet we have this idea a family is a MOM and DAD, sometimes that is great, but sometimes it isn't great, and other ideas of family become the norm

    Our job as citizens in this country is to protect real families, not to protect a projected ideal of what family should be, the ideal of a family being perfect is what caused the huge abuse of women, run by the Magedline Laudries and to a certain degree of women who live in mental instituation

    So by saying "Single Moms" you are talking about value that "Married Moms" are better, when it be proven time and again that if anything they are equally as good at being parents.

    Single parent would be better again.

    Then the father can be pursued for maintenance...

    The case discussed here is more of women who, as quoted, cannot be bothered to seek maintenance, may not even name fathers.

    You can do it once or twice if unlucky, if you bring four such kids into this world it's a strategy...

    So would all children get fed in school or just the children of single mothers?
    It's absolutely ridiculous suggesting that single mothers can't even be trusted to use their benefits to buy their children food!
    How many mothers do you think would actually spend their money on themselves rather than feeding their kids??

    Sorry, but I DO have a problem with child benefit for the wealthy and so do a lot of other people.

    As for the the rest of your off topic rant, I can only say PERSONAL RESPONSIBILITY or face the consequences.

    That's very idealistic. Do you remember the brouhaha when Centra advertised alcohol as their "child benefit day special offer"? I don't think they made it up.

    For some children living in abusive or neglectful families the more they can get from school the better as education can be their only escape route.

    It's really simple, why didn't you just wear a condom and then you would not have to go through all this again, especially with the bloke gone into hiding ?.

    Simple things these day's just seem to be beyond some people which is frightening.

    Nah, most of us are just sick of the mentality of certain types of people people who screw up again and again with the notion that it's everyone else's job to look after them and their problems.

    Want to get preggo by jonno down the road while you'e both on the dole? Not my problem. Except, it is. Because it's the regular taxpayer that is hit the most by the fallout from these bad parents dragging their kids up to be layabout scroungers like themselves.
