[zzxxee]

are you for real of course you should pay for your child !!!

[bobjugs12]

Have you got a job?

[Bowks]

not at the moment

[LoftyLottie]

Do you actually believe that child benefit will cover the full cost for homing and caring for your daughter. You, of course, need to pay the extra needed.

[bobjugs12]

What about your partner? Where is your income from?

[zzxxee]

this is a joke !!!!
another troll post methinks

[LoftyLottie]

If you are unemployed then I can appreciate the difficulties but this is something that needs to be discussed with 'Granny' and you need to come to a mutual agreement. I presume you are on benefits - has your daughter been taken into account when working out your benefits?

[Bowks]

Child moved out due to the fact that i would not support her with as much money as she required she 16. would not help around the house so restricted monies to show her the value of it.

[bobjugs12]

So do you or your partner have any form of income other than benefits at present?

[LoftyLottie]

I hope Granny is being strict with her. You need to talk with Granny and work out how to deal with this. She needs to know just how much pocket money to allow your daughter and your daughter needs to help Granny around the house.

[Bowks]

i did but she wants none of it as reductions

[cherrychapstick]

is she still in education?

if so yes you should till she leaves school but to how much depends as granny will be getting the child benefit and the child tax credits ,so it's something you will have to discuss ,if not she will have to get a job to support herself

[LoftyLottie]

Don't understand your last posting Bowks.

[Bowks]

the reson she moved to granny was that granny gives her free range and money to boot she does not have to help granny and granny will not take part in a discussion

[LoftyLottie]

Well then, why are you thinking you need give her any money? Granny doesn't want it and daughter obviously doesn't need it. You will just have to face facts that your daughter is being spoilt - I can't see you can do much about it if she is 16.

[Bowks]

i did tell her that i now servive on saving LL but she wants no rules and i must pay her too come home

[ummmm]

My son done the same. Life was so bad he ran away. I let him go. I gave my Mum the family allowance and £30 a week.

He lasted 5 months....bless him. He came back a better person. He realised the grass isn't greener and I'm not a bad Mum. He now calls me the legend :-)

[LoftyLottie]

Leave her where she is!! Do you want her back? Pay her to come back? Is this some sort of joke?

[Bowks]

far to spiolt for her own good but must i pay granny or not as granny took her in

[LoftyLottie]

Granny doesn't want it so why do you think you must pay her. It's up to your family. However, if you are getting anything in your benefits because you have claimed for her as a dependant then you should declare that she does not live with you any more, or you could be in trouble.
