I am not looking to light a fire here, but as the son of a builder and knowing how hard my Dad struggled over the years. It would seem that many of you live in a bubble.
A proportion of the posts come across a bit arrogant if I am honest.

This is it. Back in the day on the council estate we were always working for cash in hand. Someone said not paying tax effects the ones that need it most. A lot of the people that needed it were getting off their back sides and doing cash in hand.
Bloke I worked for the other day said his sister claims everything she can. Gets £2900 pm for doing nothing and playing the system.
Tax well spent.
if you pay tradesman cash, how are MPs going to steal it and pay it to themselves like PPEmedpro.
Mrs T-7 can piss....& I guess she can paint......but VERY, VERY badly. I almost let her paint the inside of some fitted wardrobes once. She cuts corners, anything to make the job easier, does no preparation, doesn't know the meaning of cutting in, always does half the job, no manual dexterity, no attention to detail, a total danger with a paintbrush. As a dentist myself, I always think that she'd make the world's worst dentist.....& I'd make the world's worst Human Resources Director. We all have our strengths & weaknesses.

Certainly no life of luxury
Sems like you are a little uneasy about tax money supporting a family with someone who has a disability.
I hope you don't have the misfortune to place demand on it.
A family member has a kid via a one night stand with a woman on benefits. She’s not in a Range Rover but she has 5 kids from 5 dads and hasn’t worked a day in her life.
Complete coincidence that by the time one is starting primary she’s pregnant again. She’ll never work a day in her life and we’ll all continue pay for it.
Lovely person but get a job ffs.
You know what?...that's one of my favourite phrases that I give on my feedback comments.
Problem is.....the emphasis now is on covering your back, risk assessing, warning patients that they might cock it up, heading off medico-legal problems at the pass.
If you do all that you spend a lot less time carrying out the practical clinical aspects of dentistry.
You can tick all the boxes to cover your back...or do a load of dentistry & gain lots of practical experience...but you can't do both.
It's a self-fulfilling prophecy.
Hey, we might cock it up but at least we warned you that we might cock it up
This is the reality...when I qualified 40 years ago I left dental school having done about 150 fillings (one of my colleagues thought about 200). We were half decent dentists when we left dental school. Now they have to have done a minimum of 12 fillings. That's eff all....& after 5 years of study!
The downside is that we never did a risk assessment. Didn't have any 'tick boxing' to complete. Didn't get the patient to decide the best option. "you're the bloody dentist FFS' Many a time I'm crossing my fingers hoping that the clueless patient makes the correct choice....I wouldn't dare to override my landscape gardener....he's the damned expert in his field....albeit in a miniature scale to my own...but even so...
We wrote 3 lines max in the notes....we wrote the important stuff...not a load of 'stating the bleeding obvious' crap.
Things have got to change....
No idea what the other dads do but he pays
I would say >80% of the working population have it harder with a lot more stress in their lives, even without kids. She’ll never be behind on the rent.
Easy to label feckless father and could well be true for all five but what does that make her?
It takes 2 to tango and what does it say about the blokes, you're family member included, that they still want to have a go on her despite her obvious history, and they still don't take the precaution of a johnny...if she's a bonobo they're no better.:lolskull:
I think until they have kids most folks don't really understand stress.
You've touched upon the growing need to act as your own advocate when interacting with the NHS...if it seems kinda strange, jarring to you* , imagine being in your 80's and caring for a loved one, their mindset is one of absolute trust that the state in the person of the Dr's, nurses will always know- do what is best, will always provide good care efficiently...bloody distressing when they discover the ´´system´´ is far removed from this.
*I touched upon this phenomenon when discussing our situation with miscarriage, the wife´s GP´s only advice ´´keep trying´´ and then ´´Well you do your own research, tell me what you need- want´´...but, but you are supposed to be the highly trained medical person, you got all the notes, tasked- responsible with providing oversight, no?
Ex school associate has this behaviour, all by different fathers from what I see on social media & the timeline is exactly as you suggest. They have a nice large house it appears to keep them all under a roof. Winds me right up.
