Many years ago my mother told my two younger sisters who were 13 and 15 at the time to get pregnant asap to any boy their own age so they could get a benefit and child support for the next 18 years, her reasoning was that the boys parents would make extra hush payments to keep it quiet and her daughter’s would be able to be like her jobless and paid by the state to stay at home doing nothing….

It was actually good advice because both of my younger sisters are hard working highly educated woman now in their 30s with decent partner’s who are only now looking at having children, that advice finally broke the hold she had over them and showed them what they didn’t want to be as an adult.
