We don't qualify for it because Dazza earns over the threshold, but when I was a single parent it really helped a lot. It made a world of difference to Christmas for the kids that's for sure.
You get $600 for each child?

I think you could get more for them on the black market.

Unless they're ugly or have an unusual odor.


I'm sorry. That wasn't nice.
