| A CHILD NEEDS ITS MOTHER FOR SECURITY |
|
1 |
| A child needs its mother |
|
1 |
| A child needs support from home - a role for you to be there to support your child. |
|
1 |
| A child needs to know the other parent is there for him when he loses the one parent. |
|
1 |
| A man should always provide |
|
1 |
| Able to support child |
|
1 |
| All mothers should bring up their own children |
|
1 |
| Asthmatic child-needs extra care from me |
|
1 |
| Balance of nurture rather than need |
|
1 |
| Because I believe that benefit should be paid only to those who cannot support themselves & their family |
|
1 |
| Because having sole responsibility you should be accessible at all times |
|
1 |
| Because it is right that I shouild |
|
1 |
| Because they chose to have the child in the first place |
|
1 |
| Because you are responsible for the child |
|
1 |
| Becuse I am the only parent and must take the place ofboth parents |
|
1 |
| Both equally important but conflicting |
|
1 |
| Child needs its mother |
|
1 |
| Child no longer at home therefore mother can go to work |
|
1 |
| Child should be brought up in home environment |
|
1 |
| Children need to be looked after by their mothers |
|
1 |
| Chose to have the child |
|
1 |
| Could do better for the child by getting more money |
|
1 |
| Could earn more to support your child |
|
1 |
| DEPENDS ON SCENARIO BUT SHOULD ALL POSSIBLE TO SECURE FAMILIES FINANCIAL FUTURE. |
|
1 |
| Depends on circumstances |
|
1 |
| Depends on the mother/child relationship |
|
1 |
| Depends on the nature of your jobs, |
|
1 |
| Difficult to find job in school hours and pay for child care if you cannot |
|
1 |
| Don't want to sponge off the state. |
|
1 |
| For her own emotional stability |
|
1 |
| Give the child a better standard of living |
|
1 |
| I WOULD FEEL THAT I HAD TO SUPPORT THE CHILD |
|
1 |
| I WOULD WANT A BETTER STANDARD OF LIVING |
|
1 |
| I WOULDN'T RELY ON THE GOVERNMENT and also if possible the father would have to help out |
|
1 |
| I Would want to support My Child as Best i Could |
|
1 |
| I always looked after my children, but people have to chose for themselves, it depends on the child care arrangements |
|
1 |
| I am independant. |
|
1 |
| I brought them into the world & I want to bring them up |
|
1 |
| I cant really answer that |
|
1 |
| I could'nt guarantee a job which would work out with schooltimes |
|
1 |
| I do a bit of both - staying at home and going out to work. |
|
1 |
| I don't want a latch-key child |
|
1 |
| I dont agree with people living on the state-a/e |
|
1 |
| I dont like the idea of taking money off people |
|
1 |
| I dont think people should live on the state if they are able to provide for themselves |
|
1 |
| I feel I should go |
|
1 |
| I feel a child needs its mother |
|
1 |
| I feel is according how happy a mother is to work, but if a mother is happy with the child at home she should be allowed to stay at home |
|
1 |
| I feel that I would not want to beg for money |
|
1 |
| I feel the first |
|
1 |
| I had to go to work |
|
1 |
| I have never been in that position and things are different from when I was young |
|
1 |
| I just think that a child needs somebody to be there for them/not too busy/not too tired to listen and help/can act on any problems straight away |
|
1 |
| I like to be independent |
|
1 |
| I personally do not like staying at home all the time |
|
1 |
| I think children need their mother at home and they cannot earn enough to be worthwhile |
|
1 |
| I think children need to be looked after until they are 16. |
|
1 |
| I think individual circumstances should be taken into account |
|
1 |
| I think it is important for mothers to stay at home but equally if they want to pursue a career then that is also important - I do not know which I would do. |
|
1 |
| I think it is quite important for the child to have the cotrrect uprining and only a mother can do that, so it would be wrong for the mother to go out to work a/e No |
|
1 |
| I think it would depend on the circumstances at that time |
|
1 |
| I think its very important for mum to be there |
|
1 |
| I think that the mothershould be at home /part-time work should be fitted round the child's needs |
|
1 |
| I think the child has got to come first |
|
1 |
| I think the way the world is at present with so many teenagers going off the rails i think the way the world has gone nowadays children have got out of hand and they need help to stay on the straight |
|
1 |
| I think you've got to help yourself too many handouts in my opinion |
|
1 |
| I was in that position and I had to work for my sanity I am not a house person |
|
1 |
| I would be only be having benefits if I wasnt working, so by working I would be able to provide more for the child |
|
1 |
| I would feel better if I was doing some work to support my child, and better chance of being employed later when child older. |
|
1 |
| I would just want to work. |
|
1 |
| I would like to be able to do both |
|
1 |
| I would like to be able to provide the best possible standard that I could, so that would mean going out to work, so I could afford to give them the things I would like to give them which I couldnt on |
|
1 |
| I would want toprovide the best possible for the child |
|
1 |
| I've always worked and I just think you should. |
|
1 |
| Ibelieve that the benefits taht the child gets pAY DIVIDENDS INLATER LIFR |
|
1 |
| If I had the opportunity to earn money then I should do so, because of asense of social responsibility and for self respect |
|
1 |
| If child was at school i'd feel that going out to work was giving something back; being independent, and paying tax & insurance etc. |
|
1 |
| If it could be done within school hours, I would go out to work. |
|
1 |
| If on benefits there will not be much money for the extra things a child would need. Also for social effectson the mother. |
|
1 |
| If you have a child and work you,re free to do as you want,not bound by rules of what you can do on benefitsr |
|
1 |
| Is duty to stay at hom,e and be there in case there is anything wrong with him. |
|
1 |
| It depends whether or not she needs the money |
|
1 |
| It is good for the mother and child to be at home and get to know each other |
|
1 |
| It is up to the individual |
|
1 |
| It is up to you to do the best you can for your children, I would try to go out to work to support them |
|
1 |
| It's not up to me to chose, it depends on individual circumstances |
|
1 |
| It's up to the woman |
|
1 |
| It,s a mother,s responsibility |
|
1 |
| Ithink there's no rule of thumb |
|
1 |
| Itwas her choice to have childern |
|
1 |
| Ive always felt you should stay at home and look after a child until it is 13 or 14 |
|
1 |
| Iwould not rely on anyone else |
|
1 |
| Just the way I am - but would need to know more about circumstances. |
|
1 |
| Mother wouldgo mad staying at home and earn some money for respect |
|
1 |
| Mother's duty to stay at home & look after her child, whatever the circumstances. |
|
1 |
| My child - I chose to have it - everyone should stand on their own 2 feet as much as they are able. |
|
1 |
| Need income to feed cloth the child and have somewhere to live. Face fact that it was my responsibility and that I had made the choice to bhave this responsibility |
|
1 |
| Need to get uniforms, other items otherrwise unavailable |
|
1 |
| Not fair to take from the state but the job would have to fit in with school times |
|
1 |
| ON BALANCE GO OUT TO WORK TO SUPPORT FAMILY BUT WOULD DEPEND ON VARIOS CIRCUMSTANCES |
|
1 |
| Object to handouts to lone mothers |
|
1 |
| Only during school hours/feel better when working/more self esteem |
|
1 |
| Ought to work to help support the child |
|
1 |
| Parental duty |
|
1 |
| Parents have responsibility to provide for their child |
|
1 |
| Personal experience |
|
1 |
| Personal opinion |
|
1 |
| Personal responsibility to look after your own child |
|
1 |
| Personal'family experience |
|
1 |
| Preference |
|
1 |
| Provides spending power, have contributed something |
|
1 |
| Responsibility overtakes choice |
|
1 |
| SHE SHOULD GO OUT TO WORK ONLY IF IT IS A PART TIME JOB WHICH WOULD NOT AFFECT THE CHILDS WELFARE. |
|
1 |
| SHOULD HAVE CHOICE LIKE EVERYBODY ELSE |
|
1 |
| She probably has more time to devote to work. |
|
1 |
| Sole resp for child would want to support |
|
1 |
| TO PROVIDE THE CHILDS NEEDS |
|
1 |
| TOO FINANCIALLY SUPPORT HER FAMILY |
|
1 |
| Thats what parenthood is all about, the children are your responsibility |
|
1 |
| The child is more important than work, the govt should help her out with the child. |
|
1 |
| The child must come first |
|
1 |
| The other option would only apply if she could earn wnough to pay for quality support |
|
1 |
| The prospect of leaving a child in another persons care is daunting! |
|
1 |
| There are jobs where the hours can suit the mothers, eg in a school kitchen. |
|
1 |
| To be available as soon as child returns home |
|
1 |
| To be independent, I don't expect somebody else to look after me. |
|
1 |
| To support themselves and family/its healthier than staying at home |
|
1 |
| Try to get help to stay at home for sake of child.It is best. |
|
1 |
| Type of job-Hours/Pay-effect On child |
|
1 |
| Would depend on job availability - should be at home when child is at home. |
|
1 |
| You can give them more when you go out to work ie better living conditions and make them feel comfortable with other children |
|
1 |
| You have to go out to work to get any quality of life nowadays. |
|
1 |
| You have to provide a home environment for the child when they come home from school |
|
1 |
| You have to responsibilityh to keep your own child when you choose to have one |
|
1 |
| You might not be able tyo afford child care or find a job with hours to suit the child |
|
1 |
| a child needs its mother |
|
1 |
| a child that young needs a lot of looking after by its mother |
|
1 |
| a child wants somebody there / no |
|
1 |
| a duty to find a flexible [part time job or develop skillws to work from home would want to support my child |
|
1 |
| a lot of people dont want to have handouts/the benefit is a safty net// |
|
1 |
| able to work whilst child at school |
|
1 |
| again i think its up to the mother to choose |
|
1 |
| all children need looking after until school age,may then need to work to make ends meet and school costs |
|
1 |
| all circumstances should not be definitive |
|
1 |
| always worked just something i'd do, family around us to look after the child. |
|
1 |
| anti state involvement |
|
1 |
| any mother has to be present to infulence child in matters of right and wrong |
|
1 |
| as it is my child my duty to look after it |
|
1 |
| as principle |
|
1 |
| as regards buying clothes, environment and conditions and provide other necessities that other children get |
|
1 |
| at home 14yrs.3 for me |
|
1 |
| at home when child retuns from school |
|
1 |
| at school means enough time to work to support child |
|
1 |
| at that young age mum needs to be there |
|
1 |
| bcause it would be my responsibility to do what i could |
|
1 |
| be around for the child |
|
1 |
| because I can see both sides of this, she should be there for the child, anad she might need to go to work |
|
1 |
| because I do feel strongly that there is no proper parental contact - psychologically damaging to be batted around and taken care of by untrained staff |
|
1 |
| because I feel its important to be indenpe ndent and children not to think everything is just provided |
|
1 |
| because I feel that the child needs your support and know that you are there and needs to come home to someone |
|
1 |
| because I had the child and I should lookk after them but if its the only way I can get money I would have to work but I wouldn't want to leave my children |
|
1 |
| because I know how I want my child to be brought up and if you leave them for someone else they might not grow up as you would want them to do. Its parents place to do either father or mothe as wanted |
|
1 |
| because I'm used to working- how can I speak for someone else |
|
1 |
| because a child needs love and protection bonding to give it security for the rest of its life |
|
1 |
| because benefit would not be enough to do what I wanted to do for the child |
|
1 |
| because by having child you should take on some personal responsibility |
|
1 |
| because can give better things providing job suitable with hours.gives the mother a feeling of self worth |
|
1 |
| because child is at school |
|
1 |
| because financial constraints would dictate |
|
1 |
| because i am sick of living off the government, embarrassed at colecting benefit at post office. cos i'm independent and it would be money i'd earned myself and not had it given to me |
|
1 |
| because i brought that child into the world and its my responsibility |
|
1 |
| because i should pay to support my child |
|
1 |
| because i think people have to be aware of their responsibilities i have greatect sympathy with lone mothers who father has deserted them or the father has died far more thought should be given to con |
|
1 |
| because i think that when children are young they need a parnet around to give them guidance and dicipline and a sense of responsibility. |
|
1 |
| because i would not know how the child minder looked after him/her |
|
1 |
| because i would not want to be on social i wopuld wish tp provide for the child myself |
|
1 |
| because i would want to give her the best possiblke start that i can. i would not want to struggle |
|
1 |
| because i would want to provide the best possible for my child and would not want to rely on state benefits and this gives a bad example to the child |
|
1 |
| because if child is of school age wouldn't like to live of the state a/e if a job i enjoyed a benefit to me gets you out the house a/e no |
|
1 |
| because im not a lazy person who expects others to bring up my child |
|
1 |
| because it is the most important thing anyone can do |
|
1 |
| because it would be a good role model for the child to see their parent working and it would provide extra financial support |
|
1 |
| because it would depend on the job hours worked |
|
1 |
| because its every mothers duty to stay at home and look after the child or she should only work while child in school |
|
1 |
| because its mine |
|
1 |
| because its my responsibility to care for the child and bring them up |
|
1 |
| because of going to nschoolmto support child.if more parents were paid to stay at home they might do a better job. |
|
1 |
| because should earn yp |
|
1 |
| because the chilod needs more from mother as there is no back up |
|
1 |
| because there is no father i should stay to look after my child |
|
1 |
| because there should always be someone at home when child comes home |
|
1 |
| because when child comes out of school you would be there to pick them up and support them at home - you know where they are and what they're doing |
|
1 |
| because when theyre young I think its important that the mum is there-give them some grounding -only that if mum is not there and theyre being looked after they dont have respect for their real mother |
|
1 |
| because would not be as many problems.needs looking after resposibility |
|
1 |
| because would not sit ack and expecr the state to pay |
|
1 |
| because would not want to take money from the government |
|
1 |
| because you dont get enough money living off the state |
|
1 |
| because you may hava duty to stay home you feel that by working you can provide better than the state |
|
1 |
| because you should do all you can and not stay on benefit |
|
1 |
| because you want to do both |
|
1 |
| because you woild want the best,more than you could get on benefits, I wouldnt want them to be deprived because I wasnt as a child |
|
1 |
| because you would want the best for the child |
|
1 |
| being available for child is most important |
|
1 |
| beneficial for chold |
|
1 |
| benefits not enough |
|
1 |
| best for my own child make sure child facilities were there |
|
1 |
| better for child |
|
1 |
| better for mother to go to work |
|
1 |
| better for mum dont want to rely on childminder |
|
1 |
| better life standard for child |
|
1 |
| bonding |
|
1 |
| bringing up of the children to give them an example of how you should do things rather than expecting hand outs the mother needs to get out as well |
|
1 |
| by going to work you would be able to give the child things you would not be able to give them on benefit/better for motrher to be amongst diffrerent company during the day |
|
1 |
| can part time hours during school houirs |
|
1 |
| can't sit at home and do nothing |
|
1 |
| can't support her without money so I'd have to. |
|
1 |
| cannot imagine living on benefits |
|
1 |
| cant depend on govt for everything- got to TRY and do it for yourself. |
|
1 |
| care is important at a young age |
|
1 |
| child at scchool -your responsibility &have time |
|
1 |
| child care costs would enable me to go to work and raise std of living |
|
1 |
| child comes first |
|
1 |
| child has reached school age/responsibility |
|
1 |
| child has to brought up by its parents |
|
1 |
| child is at school allows me to work some of the time |
|
1 |
| child is my responsibility/would prefer independence if i could |
|
1 |
| child is the most important thing stability at home is what i thing they need |
|
1 |
| child may suffer.adequate care for child unavailable at present |
|
1 |
| child needs a mother at home |
|
1 |
| child needs care and affection at home |
|
1 |
| child needs parental influence longer tha 5 years of age |
|
1 |
| child not old enough to understand how to behave on its own |
|
1 |
| child should not leave her mother |
|
1 |
| children are my r4esponsibility because I brought it into the world |
|
1 |
| children are our future so we want to make sure they are being brought up correctly |
|
1 |
| children get a better start in life if their mother stays aat home |
|
1 |
| children hate comming home to an empty house hate coming home to an absent parent child hates looniliness it love comfort |
|
1 |
| children need a mother at home |
|
1 |
| children need parent at home whehn out of school |
|
1 |
| children need someone at home |
|
1 |
| children now like up to date clothes and computers so you have to go out to provide for them. |
|
1 |
| children shouldnt go to babysitters |
|
1 |
| children without mum at home can be a nuisance to society and cost more in the long run they are the ones filling up our prisonsu |
|
1 |
| circumstances different. to meewt and take to school and to look after thme. these terrible things happening to children you should be there for them. |
|
1 |
| cos I'd want to geet the best I could for my child - staying at home I couldnt achieve that |
|
1 |
| cos i dont approve of latch key children. children are bring ing themselves up to alarge extent. thats thats wrong with society. |
|
1 |
| cos i'm on my own and his dad wont help us. been looking for a job, but none to fit school hours. |
|
1 |
| cos if govt were supporting me id feel obliged to work to support the child |
|
1 |
| cos thats what i did, and thats what i think all mothers should do. i didnt work until mine was 12yrs age. i never expected them to come in to an empty house. i was always there for them. |
|
1 |
| cos then yoiud have th time tio work while the child was at school and you dont have to pay the cost of babysitters or anything then ae no |
|
1 |
| cos when I was a child my mothers job came first & I had to look after my brother & hated it. I decided then that I would always be at home for my kids |
|
1 |
| could only do parttime work as child would need me |
|
1 |
| could work but only during school hours and be available for child after school |
|
1 |
| could work part-time but not full time and look after child as well |

|
1 |

|
1 |
| depend on the amount of assistance you received. should be allowed to choose |
|
1 |
| depends because child needs taking and collecting from school |
|
1 |
| depends if job was when child was at school or play group would work. would not use child minders |
|
1 |
| depends if she can get a sutable job |
|
1 |
| depends on child care, if you havent got parents to jhelp you. I suppose its different circumstances if you have to get a child minder. |

|
1 |
| difficult for a 61 year old divorced man to put himself in that position |
|
1 |
| difficult to balance child care and economics |
|
1 |
| difficult to say |
|
1 |
| doing nothing else. |
|
1 |
| don't believe in getting money off govt, should try to support self and family |

1 |
| duty to support my child would be that |

1 |
| earning own money better than on dole/social security |
|
1 |
| easier life |
|
1 |
| ecause i think its my right to |

1 |
| esential for a child to have a secure base/when the child comes home from sch mother is there |
|
1 |
| esteem, interest, buy extras for child |
|
1 |
| even if only part time doing something towards bringing money in |

|
1 |
| having achild is my choice not the governments |
|
1 |
| helped the child to develop more |
|
1 |
| how else is child to be supported |
|
1 |
| i am an indpendent person, you should be able to look after your self.difference between married and unmarried lone mothersr |
|
1 |
| i beleive that parents should always be there for their child |
|
1 |
| i believe that a child should have one or both of its parents there both pre school age and later and if that means that the govt has to pay for that support then so be it/ |
|
1 |
| i decided to have the child & if you can work you should fit your hours round the child |
|
1 |
| i dk |
|
1 |
| i dk really |
|
1 |
| i dont think it usually amounnts to too much and she should try to find something which fits in with school hours a e |
|
1 |
| i feel its totally up to the individual to chose |
|
1 |
| i feel that i would need to offer them support in their upbringing /need to be there for them/ |
|
1 |
| i feel the mother would have the same rights as a mother who is married and being supported by a husband |
|
1 |
| i like doing that and cleaning the house |
|
1 |
| i like to buy things i like and i would need the money |
|
1 |
| i might wish to do ne thing to go to work for my own fulfillment ut i might also think thst the child might want me to stay at home to look after their needs. so their may be a conflict of interests |
|
1 |
| i personnally wjould nt want to claim any benefits i would want to get my own money |
|
1 |
| i rather provide what is best for my child and i can do this by working |
|
1 |
| i swoud take it as my responsibility and be the main provider |
|
1 |
| i think if she can get a well paid job and child looked after ok./but not to earn buttns and not know whos minding your child. |
|
1 |
| i think if you have htyen you should be prepared to support them/ |
|
1 |
| i think it is better for the child to spend time with their mother and not a carer |
|
1 |
| i think it is the 5 yrs in life that child needs stable relationship up to around 5yrs |
|
1 |
| i think it right/bond between mother/child |
|
1 |
| i think its beneficial for the child |
|
1 |
| i think that when children of young school age it is imprortant for a parent to be their if they are left with nannies they tend to get quite messed up mentally |
|
1 |
| i think they need their mothers to be there for them when they come home from school and at other times/children need to be secure and know their surroundings they are quite old before they can manage |
|
1 |
| i think you need the job for indep[endance but childs needs have tyo come into the reconing |
|
1 |
| i thought it was just the norm really to look after your children |
|
1 |
| i want to be able to support my child |
|
1 |
| i would be soley responsible and i would want to improve our standard of living |
|
1 |
| i would be trying for as much income as poss for the child |
|
1 |
| i would feel that i wanted to be able to give my child the best is could in food clothes etc and would feel pressured to do this myself to be independent |
|
1 |
| i would get a part time job and try and be home for the children |
|
1 |
| i would just want to keep off benefits. self respect, whjatever |
|
1 |
| i would need to finance my childs childhood |
|
1 |
| i would want to go out to work the to support the child |
|
1 |
| i would want to independantly support my child |
|
1 |
| i would want to stay at home |
|
1 |
| i wouldnt feel i wanted to be a drain on society |
|
1 |
| i wouldnt like the idea of getting money from somewhere else to support my child. if he was old enough to go to school then i could go to work at the same time |
|
1 |
| icould give the child a better life from a larger income form working rather than the benefit system |
|
1 |
| id get more money than by benefits |
|
1 |
| id want to know what awas happening to my child |
|
1 |
| id work part time. prefer to work |
|
1 |
| if I had no money coming in I would not expect the state to provide for the child. |
|
1 |
| if a single parent would think child needed more support because lone parent but again would want to make ends meet |
|
1 |
| if able to work then should not depend on state |
|
1 |
| if child is ill and off school it is not fair on either |
|
1 |
| if child minding available,all single mothers should work |
|
1 |
| if i did go out to work it would cost all my wages to pay for someone to look after child and to see child to school in mornings and be there at night for return |
|
1 |
| if lone mother would need money |
|
1 |
| if part time it is beneficial foir most people to do something outside the domestic environment although the childs welfare shouldnt suffer because of it |
|
1 |
| if she cant earn much, she'd do more for the child by staying at home. but if earned enough to pay for child-care, then she should go out to work. |
|
1 |
| if the child is at school you can work during school times |
|
1 |
| if the govt has supported the raising of the child from 1 - 5 then they have helped enough and I should put in some input mlyself |
|
1 |
| if they only hane one parent they need someone at home in case theyre ill |
|
1 |
| if they were all at school it would be easier for me to find a job and it would mean more money more places to take them and a better life for us all |
|
1 |
| if they were at school theres no reason to stay at home |
|
1 |
| if work hours fit with school hours should go to work |
|
1 |
| if you can get more money than on benefit, standard of living will be better for family |
|
1 |
| if you dicide to have a child you should take responserbility |
|
1 |
| if you go out and not earn enough gov. will support me provided i'm at home when school turns out |
|
1 |
| if you go to work you havr got more satisfactionn and can teach children about what life and work is about. |
|
1 |
| if you have the oppertunity its better than claiming benifit |
|
1 |
| if youve got a job its not always school hours, children paassed around like parcels. my 2 wont stay with anyone else. |
|
1 |
| if youve had a child and brought it up, its your job to support it, or try to. |
|
1 |
| important for own identity / pride |
|
1 |
| important not to miss the early years. going ou t to work to pay child minders, should be responsible for children |
|
1 |
| important that child has time with family |
|
1 |
| important that children understand the work ethic |
|
1 |
| important with one parent to have stability |
|
1 |
| in order to contribute rather then just recieve |
|
1 |
| in our cluture women would look after the child |
|
1 |
| independent would earn a good salary |
|
1 |
| it all depends on circumstances, and she should go out if she wants to |
|
1 |
| it all depends on individual circumstances, eg how financially secure you are |
|
1 |
| it all depends on where the money is coming from and also how much/ |
|
1 |
| it comes down to i think ot ios importatnt for mother s to be at home to see them home from school and build up a relationship with the child or else ot becomes complicated when you intriduce money in |
|
1 |
| it depends on so many things. Icant really answer that you have to be in a similar position to answe /you have to be in the cart before you can ride |
|
1 |
| it gives mother her independance back and benefits she would be getting would go to someone else in greater need-if working and child ill there sould be arrangement for child to be looked after when s |
|
1 |
| it is a full time job time |
|
1 |
| it is important for the mother to be at home for the child |
|
1 |
| it is mothers job to look after the child |
|
1 |
| it is my responsibility |
|
1 |
| it is the childs formative years and I think the mother should be there |
|
1 |
| it is the way i was brought up its my duty |
|
1 |
| it would be up to me to support the child if i was a lone parent |
|
1 |
| it would depend on getting proper care for the child |
|
1 |
| it would depend on whether there was enough child care costs to make it worth while |
|
1 |
| it would save on t he unemployment |
|
1 |
| it wouled do both me qnd the child good for me to go out to work. It would help me to meet people and to get money for both of us to get things, and would also broaden the rqange of friends for both |
|
1 |
| it's mis leading,not a special duty it's uo tp her |
|
1 |
| it's the parent's responsibility |
|
1 |
| itd be up to her really |
|
1 |
| ithink that it would be for the sanity of me and the child |
|
1 |
| ithink you should do all you can to help yourself |
|
1 |
| its a mothers duty to look after child until the child knows what its doing, so that no harm comes to the child |
|
1 |
| its a question of independence - you like to think you are earning something to help out - and be ready to work harder later on - in later years |
|
1 |
| its an individual choice |
|
1 |
| its for the woman to choose whethernshe works |
|
1 |
| its important to establish a pattern for a child to go out to work.set example,and not teaching them the wrong social message |
|
1 |
| its just a male prerorative ive been brought up to look aftermy family financially |
|
1 |
| its just the way was brought up a parent should work support their child |
|
1 |
| its my child and i have the responsisbility to look after the child, if the husband s dumped her then the husband should share in looking after the child |
|
1 |
| its my responsability |
|
1 |
| its not societies problen that she had a child to start with that is her problem |
|
1 |
| its your child ae no |
|
1 |
| itsa personal thing, some want to be at home and some dont. d also ewant something to keep me sane, a e - |
|
1 |
| just as a parent |
|
1 |
| just feel should provide fot own choldren |
|
1 |
| just feel that if Ive had a child it is my duty to be responsible to maintain that child |
|
1 |
| just in a sense of giving maximum support to the child |
|
1 |
| just own view |
|
1 |
| just to be there for the baby |
|
1 |
| just to feel you have done something to support your child and not left it to everyone else to. |
|
1 |
| just to givr it everything it needed or wanted also it would be for me in my job easy to work and fit the childs routine in with the job |
|
1 |
| just to pay for everyhing ourselved |
|
1 |
| just to provide a bit more comfort & better standard of living |
|
1 |
| keep them in surroundings that they are used to |

1 |
| loking after a child is the most important thing to do |
|
1 |
| longer you stay at home,harder to go out to work |
|
1 |
| money is so important |
|
1 |
| more attention/no problem getting time off to look after the children. |

| only if it would fit in with school hours |
|
1 |
| only if the goverment provided the oppertunity for childcare |

| she has spare time and shpi;d support her child or children |
|
1 |
| she has the chance for training and a better job |
|
1 |
| she is in a dilemma |
|
1 |
| she must have the choice - its for her to decide |
|
1 |
| she shoul;d contribut to the upbringing of the child and it gets her back into the work culture |
|
1 |

|
1 |

1 |
| shes entitled to do as she likes |
|
1 |
| should be home to look after child after school |

1 |
| should be someone at home for the child |
|
1 |
| should be there to take child to and from school/holiday problems |
|
1 |
| should take responsibility for the support of that child |
|
1 |
| shouldnt expect the government to pay up for children they cant afford. |
|
1 |
| show the child we dont scroung of f other people we can look after ourselves |
|
1 |
| so i could provide for child and give them as much as I could and let them have best chance in life |
|
1 |
| so not dependent bored |
|
1 |
| so that i wouldnt have to rely onother people |
|
1 |
| so they could have a better start-a/e for food and clothes-you want the best for your child |
|
1 |
| some working mothers have to work unsuitable hours resulting in them not being available for their childrenas opposed to mothers who cannot get a job to fit in with school hours and feel obliged to be |
|
1 |
| someone should give the child financial support and it should not just be left to the state.ort |
|
1 |
| speaking from experience,it would be an utter waste of talent and education to stay at home/daughter has had help with child care and backing from the family |
|
1 |
| stable background with mum at home at an earkly age ie primary school age |
|
1 |
| state would provide enough to get by &bond is important at that age |
|
1 |
| still have got to have money |
|
1 |
| support yourself and not claim benefits |
|
1 |
| thats the right job to do |
|
1 |
| thats what youre supposed to do |
|
1 |
| thats why had child |
|
1 |
| the alternative is more than just supporting the child the mother needs to go out to work rather than stay at home and have benefits |
|
1 |
| the child does not need me so much i ciuld work to provide extras not avialalbl,e on inciome support |
|
1 |
| the child doesnt need you when he is at school,there would be no reason to stay at home |
|
1 |
| the child is at school so you can go out to earn as long as you have child care |
|
1 |
| the child is your responsibility |
|
1 |
| the child would be in school and more money from work than social security |
|
1 |
| the parent should be supporting the child if it is at school |
|
1 |
| the welfare of the children is the most important thing |
|
1 |
| the work ethic really. set an examplw that you have to go out and eaget your crust |
|
1 |
| their choice |
|
1 |
| there are too many latch key kids, you have time to work when they are bigger, and there are horrible people out there. It would be nice to greet them and ask them how there school day has been rther |
|
1 |
| there is no reason she should not go to work unless there is disability - needs support or child care support |
|
1 |
| theres not enough money to go around and if your child is at school there are jobs you can do in scholl hours without being detremential to the child |
|
1 |
| theres noome else there to support him,you have |
|
1 |
| they are my children and i want to give them the best even though im on my own |
|
1 |
| they are to prescriptive therefore a choice must be given |
|
1 |
| they are your kids and you should look nafter them/ |
|
1 |
| they turn out better children if they are liiked after. |
|
1 |
| this is a personal decision and would depend on circumstances |
|
1 |
| this what you should do |
|
1 |
| time available |
|
1 |
| times have changed - I've seen my grandson quite happy when both parents work |
|
1 |
| to be at home after school and holidays |
|
1 |
| to be available for holidays or if child is sick |
|
1 |
| to be independant |
|
1 |
| to be on call for her child |
|
1 |
| to be there when they needed you, any knocks upsets and to watch them grow |
|
1 |
| to earn her own self respect |
|
1 |
| to get more money to pay yopur own was as soon as the child was at school |
|
1 |
| to give child message that parents have the responsibility to support child |
|
1 |
| to give child the best I can afford |
|
1 |
| to give everything theyb wanted |
|
1 |
| to give financial support |
|
1 |
| to give him better quality of life |
|
1 |
| to give them a role model |
|
1 |
| to help support otherwise govt has to |
|
1 |
| to improve living stds. |
|
1 |
| to keep child under control |
|
1 |
| to make money to give better life than on benefits |
|
1 |
| to make sure they had all they needed in material things |
|
1 |
| to prove the work ethic |
|
1 |
| to provide the benefits that other children are getting |
|
1 |
| to show signs of responsibilty and independence. |
|
1 |
| to try to do something for yourself rather than just the benefit system |
|
1 |
| to try to give the child the best opportunities possible, I feel that I would do that by working |
|
1 |
| try and get a school job so as to be at home in the holidays |
|
1 |
| try to get more money than off the state so i could look after the child better |
|
1 |
| unless i'm working, i wouldn't be able to give the child all the things two parents could |
|
1 |
| up to individual |
|
1 |
| v impt to have mothers support bonding |
|
1 |
| very individual view |
|
1 |
| very little work available to suit school hours. |
|
1 |
| want more for child/not live off someone else |
|
1 |
| want to be able to offer more financially when child is school age |
|
1 |
| want to go on course for good job |
|
1 |
| way of the world/ responsible for care of child |
|
1 |
| well ,ve had to do it - its not safe to leave the chldn on their own |
|
1 |
| well I think its everybodys right to support the child |
|
1 |
| weve always done it, its just our way, its the way your fetched up. |
|
1 |
| when at school a cance to earn for what you wantaq |
|
1 |
| when children reach so age not so tied so find a part time job |
|
1 |
| when the child comes home id want to give it proper attention |
|
1 |
| while she is working she can contribute to society ,rather than being a burden.increaes feeling of self worth.employers need to help with providing creche facilities as well |
|
1 |
| why should they be supported by the state |
|
1 |
| why should you claim off the social just because you're single |
|
1 |
| work but only in school hours |
