I wed in 1986 and received married allowance, not sure when it ended, however dont think it was 1973

We then got and still do get, the family allowance for our 2 who are 16 & 10

The child tax credits when it first started was paid to the male, now it is paid to whomever is deemed to be looking after the children

Yes I agree that child care costs are high and we all pay in, so should get some back, plus if people stopped having children, then what future would we have, however to complain about getting in excess of £400 per month does sound a bit silly to me, then again maybe I have it wrong
