In this day and age there is no excuse for having children if folk cannot afford to them.As for my comment ' A step in the right direction' I just think it is time something is done to reduce benefits so that they cannot be relied on in stead of folk getting off their backsides and working to keep their own families. My generation had personal pride and felt it their duty to provide for their families, taking any job that they could get. Ofcourse if folk were on the dole and they were offered a job and they didnt take it their dole money was stopped .
