I should add that, until my recent spell of unemployment, I was earning enough to have been caught by this new measure, and as a single earner with my wife looking after then children as a full time mum.

However we used to look at our bank statement monthly and boggle at the amount being paid to us for the simple fact that we decided to have three kids. The money was nice to have, but we certainly didn't need it.

I aspire, in my new life as a self-employed person, to get back to that level of income, and I will not resent the removal of child benefit when I do.
