While earning a wage of just over forty thousand seems a lot of money, once the morgage and bills are paid we just about scrape to get by. I choose to give up my job to give my two preschool children the best start possible. Child benefit has meant I have just about managed to afford to do this in order to benefit my children. Child benefit is there to benefit our children. They are the ones who miss out.

Surely this is the oposite of what Child Benefit was intended to achieve.

With rising costs in everything, especially food and travel, many families are only just getting by. Taking away child benefit will cause real difficulties for many families who are already struggling. I can understand placing an upper limit on it but this really is too low. Once again, the government is hitting the middle income earners hardest.

This is totally unfair, how is it they can means test family tax credits but can't apply the same means test for Child Benefit if they wish to impose an earnings threshold.
As a single income household earning just over the proposed limit with my wife ensuring our children grow up in a loving caring environment we will lose out. Perhaps we should abandon the kids and both get lower paid jobs?

We don't ask for unemployment or any other benefit, just what we are entitled to.
I thought this was for our children, so how many children will now need to go to a stranger instead of their own parent, while Mum is now trying to pay for the shortfall in household income? Or is this some kind of weird job making policy.
Something is very very wrong if the government think that other people look after your children as well as you do.
