What a shame

They're cutting the baby bonus, something that should not have been around in the first place.

Ummmm is this a political thread 😄

personally i would like the ppl with an IQ less than 100 to stop breeding. the last thing we need is more stupid ppl.

but....but...but.... where would we get our next generation of Reality TV contestants from?

Safe co-sleeping for the WIN and the saving money and angst option. In my opinion and experience. 

Wouldn;t have worked for me, Buzz - my eldest was only a bit over three when my fourth one arrived.:O

There were ten in a bed and the little one said..............:^O

Maybe it would have stopped them being born so close together. 😉

I'm sure that there are many many people with a high IQ that have next to no common sense.

I know several, my Mother and my older son are the first ones I think of.  

Does that mean I should include me????? :^O

A question for the OP -

Crystal when your children were born and the Govt at that time had a $5000 baby bonus payment for the parent on the birth of each child, would you have not claimed it?

[cherry*135]

When you get two parents with a high IQ and no commonsense... poor kids. My friends brother and sis in law (her parents and siblings were Professors) were like that , they couldn't cope with the clothes washing, cooking decent meals, had pet animals in the house (rabbits,chickens). Feral lifestyle.

I, like a lot of others on these boards had children and bought them up without the baby bonus....geee whizz it can be done.

I guess I was very lucky that my Oh could support a family without me having to go to work...I looked after nieces and nephews before and after school so that some of our younger ones could "get on in life"..I dont wonder why the govt is so much in debt, cant fathom some of the payouts that they pay. and I dont care what govt is in..they all have their own agenda and cant stand the other so it will always be tit for tat
