I am sure at some point in the future you will want to return to work.
I have no gripe with those whose need is genuine.......I do, however object to paying my taxes for people who never want to work, expect all the good things of life to be handed to them as if it is their right.

The welfare state should be seen as a helping hand, not a deal for life.
Thanks, worked for 8 yrs before having the boys, and will be going back to work at some point just it wounds like some people are getting at everyone in that situation when im not one of those to sit on my bum and scrounge, just bugs me lol
