"Why am I paying 100’s in child maintenance when the TV says I can look after an elephant for a fiver a month. Pretty sure an elephant eats more than my 2 kids. And another thing. How come a fiver can supply an African village with fresh water when Yorkshire water are charging me £30 a month just for my house?" Welcome to the UK! | |||

"You do realise there are millions of you, paying a fiver a month. How many other men contribute to your children's upbringing? " No, I genuinely thought those adverts were only being shown on my TV exclusively to me 
Maybe you should change your name to Pinky  | |||

"Don't get me started on child maint!!!! Biggest one sided rip off going!!" I maintained my child without splitting up from his mother. Paid for private education for 7 years then university for 5 years. I made the decision to father the child so I had the responsibility to look after and support him. If you hadn't wanted to father a child there were options available to prevent that happening. The choice was yours. Grown-ups take responsibility! | |||

The fiver only stops the elephant being shot. I think they spend the money on kevlar body armour or something. | |||

" I have paid the maint for my kids for 11 years, even paid an outlandish amount when she decided to lie to the system. I win that battle. On top of the money she gets, I give my kids extra money to do their own thing. I pay for food when they are with me, extra clothes when they want them or need them. I pay all the fuel.cists of going to get them. Holidays, treats etc etc the list goes on and on!! I am a parent, not a cash cow for my ex wife every month. I have no issue paying for my kids, not 1 little bit, what I do have issue with is paying the maint when thats not about being a parent. I say scrap it altogether and just let parents be bloody parents!!! | |||

We don’t live in an ideal, altruistic world sadly - we live in the real one! I can assure you, most single mums aren’t living in luxury whilst their exes slave to keep up payments. Parenting is a joint job with joint responsibilities (including financial) - and IMO the most important job any of us will ever do! | |||

I struggle month to month because of the maint bill. I am not in a highly paid job. If I didn't have to pay maint then I would have extra money to spend on my kids myself. I agree not every parent would pay what they should to help if it wasn't there. The system of it is fucked really and thats what needs looking at.......so in short, we should all buy an elephant!!! | |||

How come a fiver can supply an African village with fresh water when Yorkshire water are charging me £30 a month just for my house?" Yes but these are charity adverts, and as we know from recent events, they do some things that none of us expected! | |||

"You're paying for your children and your exes standard of living, not just for food. You should learn how to pull out. That is cheap for water. It is way more expensive here, plus we get the bad additives such as fluoride and who knows whatelse. Dig a well" Paying for an ex standard of living???? Really!!! I don't think so somehow. I pay mine so that my son has what he needs and his mother can pay for what she needs out of her own pocket. | |||
