maternity money for unemployed

I'm sorry if what i said felt like a personal attack, it wasn't meant that way, it's good that your partner works, and i know you have been looking into starting an accountancy course. I know that you would love another baby and i can understand you not wanting a big gap between isabelle and baby no 2 but make sure whatever you chose to do is the right thing for everyone and isn't clouded over by how much you want to be a mum again. i know people who have succesfully done the AAT with a baby but i know far more people who didn't my mum managed up to the second year when we were small but as the course goes on it gets harder and with a full time job evening classes and three kids just doesn't add up. i really think you should look into some work experience like you said in your other post as i know this helped me when i started my first year. is there no one in the family or a friend that can watch the little one so you can go to classes or do a part time apprentiship? it will be far easier to get the first year out of the way while you only have Isabelle then it will be starting up a career in accountancy with 2 to care for and no previous experience. why don't you go to your local Job centre or Conexions office for some advice they will let you know what help is out there and what you are entitled to.

thank you

dont worry about it people just get up tight about benifits and stuff, my OH works and i worked up till mat leave but we still get benifits cause we have a low income, like the child care part even tho i am not working we still get this and my son still goes to nursery, you need to know what you can get so you can plan

nobody is upset i just had a rant over nothing becaus eim classed as one of these 'young mums' who dont go out and get a job and live off benefits lol but im not x

i wish i'd never asked this question now i didn't mean to upset people.

i've already told you that my OH works i was only asking if there was anything for mothers who don't work. i may be getting the wrong end of the stick but i've worked for years and paid tax like everyone else so now when i need some top up i think i deserve it. as soon as i can i'll be going to work.

sorry and thanx, i do know young girls go out and get pregnant after school becaus ethey just dont fancy getting a job or think its cool and you get loads of money off benefits and a free house, they need there eyes opened to the real world dont they

i know there are curcumstances where benifits are needed, like your self you thought you had a foothold on a carrer path when you got pregnant therefor you didn't plan to be pregnant and unemployed, but to actually plan a baby with no source of income and then to expect tax payers to feed and clothe them is totally irrisponsible. Stacey i really hope you manage to continue your studies soon and i hope everything goes well for you i know if you had the choice this isn't the way things would be.
