Their mother.

 

Then she claimed CB. Were you married to her for all or part of the period when the money was paid into your kids' bank accounts?

He benefited indirectly but will not admit this:hihi:

Is this going somewhere?

It appears that your family built up a pot of svaings at the expense of the state. If your family had not claimed CB you would have had to build up that pot of savings yourselves, out of your own money.

 

That said, I'm glad you and the kids' mother put that money aside for them. It's good parenting and a wonderful gift to your kids when they reached 18 years. It's exactly the sort of thing that CB should be used for.

I genuinely mean it. If you can afford it then it's a great thing to do if you have kids.

The money we personally set aside for them would have remained the same, so the pot of money would have been smaller without the CB, so I didn't benefit from CB. Child benefits are meant to benefit the child which is what they did.

If it's not required, then how is receiving unnecessary benefits "good parenting"?

But your family received the benefit. You can't deny that. It was paid every 4 weeks, for years.
