Hmm. family of mum, dad, 3 kids.Would cut all benefits for non disabled.
Dad dies, or disappears.
Mum can't earn enough to pay for childminders for 3 kids.
so...
My mother's mother, who would have been born about 1900, told of watching her mother having to have sex with the rentman and his mate because she couldn't pay. Back then there weren't abortion clinics, it was standard to use a knitting needle. If you missed a period you pushed it into the cervix and wiggled it about to induce one , = a miscarriage. Really cheap, no need for benefits.
The good old days?
