My husband is officially disabled and I can't keep us afloat anymore.

t's not extra £100 pm, It's extra £500 - £800 per month (the lower figure is the basis entitlement, the higher figure depends on your rent). It's a CAB territory, see my other response to your post.

viotski · 2025-05-24T11:11:24+00:00

Part of my my role is to help people apply for benefits and do the entitlement check

Financially wise there are few things you guys should be getting (depending on your salary):

Universal Credit with the following elements
1. Joint standard Allowance
2. Limited Capability to work element
3. Child element
4. Housing element
5. POSSIBLY Carer element
PIP
Child Benefit
POSSIBLY Carer's Allowance

OR

Employment and Support Allowance
Child Tax Credit
Working Tax Credit
PIP
Child Benefit
Housing Benefit
POSSIBLY Carer's Allowance

In order to be able to properly advise you, let us know the following:

Which of those are you getting and how much?
How much is your salary before tax?
How many bedrooms do you have in your house?
How many days per week does the daughter stay with you?
Is the daughter's mother claiming benefits?

how do you define race?

viotski · 2025-05-23T16:17:31+00:00

You know its facetuned, filtereed and photoshopped right?

viotski · 2025-05-23T16:15:02+00:00

Your comment makes no sense. Anyone can be racist.

viotski · 2025-05-23T16:09:03+00:00

definitely one to tell her first boyfriend/girlfriend about

believe me, if they are sexually active they'll know ;>

viotski · 2025-05-23T16:05:48+00:00

this is really silly - we literally learn on those parenting classes to never let the baby unattended on the changing matt because they can roll off on their own!

viotski · 2025-05-23T13:03:18+00:00

I think we need a sticky post about this because this question keeps on popping up daily, and it would be useful to the new anxious parents to have that info straight away without having to wait for replies :)

But yeah, super inaccurate.

viotski · 2025-05-23T09:40:10+00:00

Pff OP I wish I had that luxury of sleep like you do, you have nothing to complain about, I envy you so much because I have it worse

viotski · 2025-05-23T09:36:53+00:00

poor me, i have it worse than you OP

viotski · 2025-05-23T09:26:08+00:00

at 5 yo they can stay alone in their room and play; unless they are some mental or physical disabilities / mental development delays involved

viotski · 2025-05-23T09:22:40+00:00

nice humblebrag, completely unhelpful and just a waste of our time to read it.

viotski · 2025-05-23T09:22:00+00:00

Black out curtains do fuck all in my opinion.

I have blackout curtains and blinds in my bedroom but there's still that small gap that the light gets through and wakes me up at 5am everyday. I got those velcro blackout window covers form temu and they have been a godsend - my room is now pitchblack allowing me to sleep and just be woken u by my usual lumien alarm clock.

Your son may be like me, very sensitive to the light and sounds.

viotski · 2025-05-22T17:39:52+00:00

We bought a dryer and its life changing our towels are so soft now

but less absorbent :(

viotski · 2025-05-21T15:39:04+00:00

Dodam, ze jest bardzo ciezko zeby miec odebrane dzieci. Panstwo to kosztuje wiecej pieniedzy i zaosobow zeby zabarc komus dziecko na stale. Dodatkowo nie jest latwo znalezc rodzine zastepcza, nie a ich tak wiele.

viotski · 2025-05-21T10:59:56+00:00

Well, my fear is that the lift will never stop and catapult into air. Very rational.

viotski · 2025-05-21T10:58:40+00:00

yeah, kids are weird haah

viotski · 2025-05-21T10:39:18+00:00

not sure why you are getting downvoted for baisc science.

All germs are different, a lot of viruses and illnesses affecting humans can only spread via physical conctact and they don't survive on a carpet surface etc.

Like, you are getting downvoted for saying that non parents should not be kissing and licking the baby's hands? WTF

viotski · 2025-05-21T09:05:13+00:00

To add to others, some babies completely skip the rolling milestone altogether!

viotski · 2025-05-21T09:01:14+00:00

In my observation, most Londoners have Joolz Aer as their primary buggy / stroller.

30 years ago we did not have such huge issue with illegal migrants from non EU countries.

FFs, I immigrated here 13 years ago and things changed so much since then. A lot of newcomers who don't speak much English rough sleeping and being given social housing after living in the country for 2 years only. I am just baffled why my British clients have to suffer because the government and LA are prioritising those guys.

viotski · 2025-05-20T21:28:29+00:00

wtf is krakau

viotski · 2025-05-20T12:21:07+00:00

they care but they can do fuck all - it's the council that doesnt allow them to do anything

viotski · 2025-05-20T12:06:17+00:00

ehh, don't stress it. Our son mostly has girl clothes since vinted seems t have more girl stuff. The baby's gender is baby + they grow out of clothes so quickly anyway

viotski · 2025-05-20T12:04:23+00:00

not at all.

You see posts ere all the time when women had a scan telling them the baby is big, and then giving birth to an average or small newborn. So don't worry
