Don't comment on other peoples problems untill you have a severe/cronhic problem yourself, and then have the right to comment.

Put your brain into gear and keep your gob shut,till you have something to say, what is your solution for disabled people shoot them and save money.

I would keep these evil feelings to yourself.

PS this is a snake section, does not take a lot to work it out.

Joel, think I can get adopted? My Mummy and Daddy think I'm too old to be spoilt now, although I still have tantrums on Daddy's floor when I visit

Good on the boy for having his arsed wiped by daddy at his age and not learning how to appreciate the value of WORKING for things in life?

At his age I was 2nd mother to my youngest siblings while my mother worked night shift 5 days a week. I was also working 25 hours a week as a waitress in a hotel and cafe, doing grueling shifts with a Gordon Ramsy wanabee at 13 years old. I loved the Independence, the money, the skills I learnt and the people I met, even though I was never in before 11pm on a school night as that's when the restaurant closed.

I like to think that collectivley, I have benefited from all that in life. Without those experiences I doubt I would value the things I do today. And I thank my mother for pushing me and challanging me to reach my full potential at every oppertunity, despite how hard it was at times.

i work 40+ hours a week, my misses works 40+ hours a week, and we have a mortgage and are permanetly skint, we both have debt and are currently looking for extra work to save for our wedding,

lifes a struggle but we do what we need to do, i don't understand how some people manage to have so many reptiles and not work, for myself personally it wouldn't work,

i only have a small 2 up 2 down but its mine in 25 years, if i lost my job i would loose everything,

Why a 13 year old should have that kind of responsibility is beyond me.
My children will still be doing what kids should be doing at that age.. Not being child slaves! We spend far too much of our lives working, our childhood is where we should be having as much fun as possible before such responsibility is required. It doesn't mean they will value money, material things, etc any less.

[Montage_Morphs]

I WANTED the responsibility because I wanted to buy myself the things I desired. And mummy sure as hell wasn't going to spoil me. I actually started working when I was 12. I LOVED it. Right enough I lived in the North West Highlands so it was always good work in the tourist industry. And why not take the oppertunities you can? Why pass them by and miss out on valuable life lessons and precious memories. I adored working alongside my school friends till the wee hours of the morning. Especially after the chefs left at 10pm, because then we didn't have to doge flying knifes and stuff LOL.

But you can hold your head up and think "i did it! me and my OH did it! and we didnt have to sponge from anyone else"
theres a certain pride in being able to say that you did by yourselves without sponging.
