NI contributions are protected by child benefit, or at least they used to be.
I wonder if she will have the nerve to post an Xmas pic of the pyjamas now... bet it’s just one of her and Avery or she will change Jacks pyjamas to the men’s ones
But if she has no NI Contribution piror to 2016 you need 35 years worth to get full pension. Prior to Avery she worked 15 hours a week in a bakery so she wouldn't have paid any there unless she was on £11 or more an hour. Before that she was Uni and working part time at Paperchase.
Don't even know if she qualified for maternity pay because of working so few hours prior to Avery so don't know if NI payments were made then.
It's probably just me but I can't see the need for a stay at home Mom when there's no child at home. She can't use the childcare cost reason because she doesn't pay for it. Even if there are childcare costs and you stay at home to avoid that, the majority of people go back to work at school age.
I've got a friend who looks down on working mothers as we should be at home to raise our children, end of. Our children are 11 and she hasn't worked for 11 years and still can't find work as she has no relevant experience. Sadly, her husband is quite poorly and has had a health scare and wants to cut back at work. He's currently on sick but he can't cut back because his wages cover their outgoings. She went without holidays etc so she could stay home and now she needs to step up and she can't because she's almost unemployable. This is a couple in their late 30's and the Husband may not make it to 45 if he carries on at the rate he is.
She now wishes she'd worked. Her house was immaculate and home cooked meals every night and never paid for childcare buttl at what cost?
Jack has diabetes, who knows if this could make him really ill and he may need to cut back. Stacey is just selfish and doesn't even use her time at home to benefit Avery at all. She literally ships him off to nursery then into bed when he's back and given to Jack the minute he steps through the door.
