most responsible people find someone they love then consider what kind of life they can offer a child before they actually attempt to have 1 child let alone 8 or 9 children
dont these workless parents consider that an aspect of bringing up children is hard work, making it for oneself, showing the children a hard working role model?
young healthy adults have no right to a lifetime of benefits imho....they should all work if they are healthy.
often these parents cannot be questioned or advised or they soon get aggressive and violent. they all tell you how much they love their kids, well I dont believe them. is it love to smoke and swear and fight and drink in front of your kids? is it love to show them a workless household, how to live off the benefits from work done by other honest hardworking people? is if love to learn them these poor habits? what about aspirations? what about healthy living? what about work? what about ambition? education? what about an environment large enough for children to grow up properly? Im not saying you cant have love in a small house of 10 kids....but its different to 50 years ago, when a working family worked hard for pittance....these are people who dont work deliberately. they get pregnant in order to jump the queue for a free house, then to get more benefits and so on
one chap with 4 kids, a pretty hideous fellow, told me one night he had to get so smashed that night as he was being means tested the next day and needed to get such a high quantity of alcohol in his blood system to ensure he goes up a level on his benefit.....the same individual is violent, heavy drinker, cheat son his missus and well lets just say does a lot fo bad things
this is the problem we have created with this politically correct culture of dependence.....everyone things they have a right to handouts forever, with no responsibility.....they also think that by simply telling everyone theyre a great parent it means they are one. self praise is no recommendation. ask the kids what they think about living with 10 kids loads of pets in a 4 bedroomed terrace with parents who drink , smoke , dont work and no doubt dont even find the will to cook proper meals in a proper oven

..I understand what you're saying but I still feel that it's a very small percentage of people on income benefits..but if you do encounter them daily then I can see your view..but that's also going down a different path and isn't about whether vouchers would be a better route..and I still think it won't because it won't change anything for the parents and families you are referring to..they won't suddenly start prioritising their children just because they have vouchers...they'll just find another way..so I don't think it's helpful at all....
