I’m not agreed with the tax credits deeds for child Tex. Some good procedure will be there regarding to it.
From my personal opinions for single parents some relaxation should be provided in taxes.

Hi, I am single parent with two grown up boys still at home. I have one son who works and another son who goes to college. He is doing a HNC course therefore I was told I could not claim working tax credit any more because I don’t work over 30hrs a week. I have worked since my ex husband left us and I am still in the same job but I only get 27.5 hours a week. Due to council cut backs I may lose this job and I am being penalised for not working 30hrs. It does not make sense that the more hours you work the more benefits you get.

We are four trillion pounds in debt, when you include private sector pension packages, if you sold every single property/ building in the UK it would not pay the debt of, If you threw u00a350 notes out the window every second for a 1000 years that would be Four Trillion Quid, if you put u00a350 notes one on top of eachother by the time you got 6 miles outside the earth atmosphere that would be the national debt. We are skint. Our children will have to deal with this, so do we want child tax credits for them now or do we want them to have to deal with our debt when they are adults? Its pretty annoying epecially as now I am getting married my tax credit income for childcare which costs u00a3600 a month is going to about u00a380 a month. My new hubbie to be is not the kids dad so I feel bad about this and I am also sh*tting myself about how I am going to keep running by struggling business and send my son to day care, but I also face the fact that this country is skint. So the tax credit years were lovely, but they are over! People earning u00a344K a year are loaded in my opinion, but I only earn about 10K so its all relative! I guess no more trips to M and S, newcoat for yourself there, pair of boots there, how much of this money do we actually spend on our kids, and how can a person earning u00a344K not pay their bills, I don’t get it, what are you doing with your money? is this a London thing coz its so expensive down there?

I am a single mother of one child aged 9 months. When i got pregnant having been in a long relationship my partner told me to abort our baby because he didn’t want it. So I ended up moving out of my dads and setting up a home by myself. Before the pregnancy i was working in a sales job earning about 25k a year alone. Now i’m a single mother I really on child and working tax credits. To even consider going back to work after maternity leave i’d need some help with childcare, if i can only claim 70% of it it makes me better off quitting my job and claiming income support, housing benifit etc because i’d be paying more out on things like council tax and nursery fees then would be worth it.
I’m all for cutting the deficit but i’m not for making people people better off by cutting thier child care so they can’t reasonably go back to work

Think all who voted conservative have shoit all us hard working middle class families!! Bet they now wish they voted labour. I think its crazy it not giving anyone any incentive to work. Ii am currently on maternity leave and dreading going back to work due to these changes. Ii have a bigish mortgage and I know when these cuts come in I will have to work full time to make ends meet but I will be paying o fortune in child care for my two kids. I do feel for all of us
