Thankyou, it is so frustrating that because I'm married that I should get punished like this.
My friends at uni who are single mums (absolutely no offence meant here just offering a comparison) get an extra ??3600 a year for being single, their childcare costs paid in full, dependents allowance. Plus all the other things you can claim, like housing help, council tax etc AND because being a student is classed as not working they recieve ??8000 from the tax credit people!
I am now writing a seething letter of complaint

I feel like this all the time. My OH only earns 12000 per year atm full time which barely covers rent and bills. then i get ??90 a week to buy food, nappies, petrol etc. We dont get housing benefit or anything. I would be better off leaving him
