Doing what all moms and dads should do.

He IS a good dad,but why do men get such praise for caring for their children?Millions of women are caring for their children alone,but you don't get everybody saying how wonderful they are.

Too bad his son seems to play with himself on the tablet and X-Box mostly. Easy parenting of today.

@@nonsensetalk8953 Cause there is sad people like you. Sad feminist that do not think praising of men is justified, cause they are men. (AND THEY GET MORE PRAISE!) (Fact is........Children living with their fathers suffers less than children of women.- Just look at rape and violence when it comes to women having costudy.) Why ain't we talking about that fact? Instead of something as subjective as "MEN GETTING MORE PRAISE" Well....... Rather live at my father growing up than with my mother, that is for sure. (My mother is not the best example of a good parent nor a single mom.) If you look into the stats, you would realise that the rape part is in fact true, children living with only their mom, they more often get raped than if you lived with your father.) That is factual. So why shouldn't we praise single parents that are men? Why shouldnt we?

@@nonsensetalk8953 And where does that stem from? That "single" moms more often than married women turn to drugs and poor habits. Which invites bad company into your home which causes all sorts of bad things to happen. (Sure, same thing could happen if you lived with your father, same things could happen, just happens less:) I know this may seem nonsensical to you. (Sounds like you want a parade for single moms but not for the fathers.)

Lol

And he laughs at working folk

haha yeh, doctor says go out and really means go out and walk, do exercise... carl thinks it means getting leathered at the pub everyday.

andy capp??

I agree. I really think he needs to get his priorities checked

By Susan's definition, it is the celebrity and luxury lifestyle. I think her home looks cheap, unimaginative and gauche but that is what she sees as wealthy. She might have been born into penury and this is her way of saying she has 'arrived' but in saying that, I agree with your sentiment. All fur coat and no knickers, as the saying goes. As far as people on benefits go, she might be considered to be on the Forbes list among her contemporaries.

She's deulusional

Plus many celebrities work….athletes, singers, actors All can be hard jobs

@@emmad9344 she's happy though.

I love her so much it's embarrassing. I'm embarrassed 🤣

This is BS. I've known single parents with multiple kids who don't live on the dole and fleece the taxpayer. Not the best message to give his son.

He's a bludger

@@ellajones9787 He's hardly that.

Pretty sure most single parents work while their kids are at school. Problem solved. 🤦🏻‍♀️

Craig is an awesome dad so caring! :) Even if he's on the benefit, him and his son are happy and have a roof over their head with food. Nothing else in the world matters at all. I hope Craig knows that he's a really good dad, the occupation does not matter. I would rather have a dad on the dol that love me and spent time with me than a millionaire father that didn't spend time with me.

EXACTLY what I thought. Craig is doing everything right.

A man is defined by his accomplishments and skills. His son is going to end up being a free loader just like his role model.

@@SignedOff402 Exactly. Who becomes a single dad then quits a job?!?! That’s backwards!!! 💜🫰🏼

@@Mochilala95 It totally depends on the circumstances. I am a daughter of a single mother, who didn't quit her job and unfortunately now I have a lot of abandonment issues.

@@shineliveanddie at least your mother was honest and worked for you and her survival, didn’t lived on tax money you should be proud of that. Both my parents always worked my dad worked 12 hours a day sometimes more to make ends meet and to provide for us, mom to and Im bloody proud of them!!! I would be ashamed if my parents lived on benefits with no reason. I have a respiratory illness like the other gentleman and don’t drink, don’t smoke Im not in pubs and changed my diet. Never collected 1 euro from benefits in my country. These people are free loaders. Its a question of dignity you clearly dont understand . There are plenty of lovely present mothers that work full time jobs and give a good exemple to their children of independence and dignity

Why? He’s a freeloader! He is perfectly capable of working, instead he lives off tax payers teaching his son that it’s ok to do so. Awful

@@dcg590 hasn't anyone evr told u if u have nothing nice good to say dont say anything at all mate.. im sure someone told u that at least once eh.. negative P

@@davechristian7543 So people are supposed to just let bad things happen because your mummy told you never to say bad things? You're the reason the country is a shitter. I bet you're all for the boat people? Let's hope you don't have a daughter.

And appears to spend his benefit derived free time directly on his young son and not out looking for women, partying, etc.

He is despicable. Trash. Takes pride in living off taxpayers. How on earth does this leech qualify for benefits?

There's another episode with a single dad Craig but he's raising a little daughter. These two Dads are amazing. They both stepped up 🎉🎉.

I'm reading the comments and I can't believe my eyes. You really don't have to stay at home 24/7 to be a good father. A lot od parents including single ones have to work and raise their children at the same time. The lesson the boy will learn will be "you don't have to work to have money"

Get a life ffs

I grew up in a benefits household because my Father left my Mother but I'm grateful because I always had my Mother there, She was always there and we have a fantastic relationship. Maybe you should have thought it through and considered your priorities? We never had much but we had Family and 3x meals a day, anything we did get we appreciated and I love my Mother She's the best and I don't judge Her for choosing to be a Mother over working for crap that won't fit inside your coffin when you leave this world. I was honoured to move her into the house I bought because She gave up so much for us or did She give up anything? If you ask Her She will always say that She was happy to see Her children grow up. As I said we never had much but time is our most precious thing and time is what I had and have with my Mother, we don't value material things as much as others do and we are happier for it. God bless.

@@agnieszkas2364 I grew up in a Welfare house and I own a property now

@@nadeemzafar7913 They should not allowed certain thing to be purchased with benefits. Stop giving them cash - use a debit card with only certain types of food qualifying. The UK taxpayers deserve better.

@@davisholman8149 I agree

Am I misunderstanding something? Aren't benefits in place to help those in need meet their basic needs? Why am I seeing alcohol and luxuries being bought by those who claim it?

@@chrdestruction Exactly, people on benefits installing hot tubs at the expense of the tax payer? Disgraceful

​@@lorrainebennett7528 Are there not rules in place for this? Instead of some fancy tub and some aged-wine, another person like a single mother can maybe feed herself more than once a day and not have to worry about going without for the sake of her child. I could never be rich with how I think. I know how much I need and want to live. Money does buy happiness but it doesn't mean you need a lot of it, as long as you've earned it. After a certain point, money does fuck-all for me, and all I can think about is "instead of this shiny statue at the end of my hallway, I could donate the cost to fill a family's groceries that week or help someone that's sleeping in a box at that very moment. I believe in order to be rich, you need to be a `shark`. I don't think I could ever keep a million in my bank account and sleep at night. Sorry, went off on a reddit-type rant; haha

Susanne has died after being hounded by the media. What about the politician sponging off millions from the tax payers? That is ok????

@@praguhbis Actually? Link

In Spain the benefit system is totally different, Those who have never paid into the system get nothing back, Every month a small percentage of your salary is deducted and when you are unemloyed you receive a maximum of 70% of your salary for a maximum of 24 months which is more than enough time to find another job, People in The UK should be paid their benefits in food vouchers so that they cannot use it for alcholol and cigarettes which are not a necessity, In The UK many take advantage of the benefit system and have no intention of finding a job and just play the system for as long as they can get away with it. Thats is why the country is in such a state as the taxpayers are funding these lazy people who live better than those who actually work. Shame on those people who are lazy and have no pride!

@@traceyobrien4505 Thanks for sharing that. Sounds like Spain has it right. These people in the UK need to be cut off right now. Only given help for a short period of time. Food vouchers for healthy food only. And fixed that if you sell those food vouchers - you lose it for life. Taxpayers need to wake up and change the system. What a bunch of USERS! The single dad is a different story. When a child is involved it is understandable.

@@traceyobrien4505 Thats how it is in Canada and the U.S. Its like a type of insurance. the longer you work at the same job the more you build up

As a single parent dad I raised my son. I'm sure most of these dad's are better than same mothers Not all but stop putting men down.

@Ellie Dolezalu To be honest, you just stating came off as lighting women in a more positive light more than anything else. We were shown a good example of someone who cares for their children and you turned it into doublestandards.

I am so sorry that your partner walked out on you! Why did she walk out on you?

No, hes raising a spoiled kid. He even ties the 7 ear old shoe as if he's 2

I think a lot of people would make great stay at home parents but not every single parent can live off benefits. The country wouldn’t function Even tho it sucks, we are all responsible to contribute to society as well especially if you are healthy and capable His son is in school, he should be working then

Why doesn't his ex give child support?

One thing he seriously needs to work on - the kid is well down the road to Fat City. Dad is a skinny guy but the kid has big belly and the face and neck are filling out. The child obesity situation in the UK is getting worse daily.

A good parent wouldn't breed while being poor.

being a single parent is no excuse to live off of the benefits. I was a single MOTHER with a daughter and I worked 60-80 hours a week supporting us without government assistance and without child support. I am a woman...if I could do it then this able-bodied man can without benefits.

@@kg4021he is going to get work, calm down. I’m happy as a taxpayer to help this lovely young dad and his child Because he’s using the money properly

Yh, this country is absolutely fucked. She knows how to play the system, Craig more than likely doesn't want to or know how.

The trick is sickness benefit - get yourself on PIP and you're made for life. Mental health issues are the big one these days...

I don’t understand why she gets 20,000 pounds when the single dad only gets 12,000. Is it because of where they live in the country that she gets more? It seems so unfair and she doesn’t look at all like she needs benefits and should be working!

she claims for ill health as well, I have seizures and other illnesses but I was denied PIP lol. Jobs don't like keeping me on as after 3 seizures they want me gone.

@@averil9819 I know so many cases like yours where people with genuine claims are refused and people like Suzanne get everything. It needs fixing.

Because Carl and Suzanne have worked from early years up to nearly 50+ years old. They probably have some kind of illness/disability benefit that functions a bit like an insurance and is calculated to related to what taxed income they have had for x numbers of working years. Which totally makes sense. A lot of jobs that are low paid tend to wear off people before the formal age of retirement, yet still these jobs are needed so it makes sense there are something like a type of illness pension.

This world has gone mad

Boomer privileges. Don't think you'd live like this if you went on benefits.

She annoys me.so much. I see it loads where I live. People on benefits making extravagant purchases

God you folks sound bitter and ignorant... So if y'all become seriously ill when about 50+ and too old to reeducate yourself from a lowincome hard work you will reject illness/disability benefits based at your previous income because someone who got kids before they could support themselves need the money more? Since Suzanne had worked up 'til 8 months before this was filmed and she is 50+ she could aswell have saved up to the greater part of her car. Old people have also paid off morgatges to their home so they can thereby spend some that younger people with more obligations can. And of course they deserve it.

@@johannas.l.brushane2518 too old to re-educate yourself? Are you saying those over 50 are stupid or something? They can re-educate themselves if they want, age is no excuse. Educated themselves enough to know how to claim benefits. Craig also worked until he became a single parent, I don't see him buying alcohol, cigarettes, hot tubs and photo shoots (including an agent). Suzanne admitted to paying for that car with benefits, while Craig struggles to make ends meet, didn't see him driving a 20,000 pound car actually I didn't see him driving any car.

@@jenhayes7189 yes !! Thanks you. I wish every struggling single mom could get benefits so they can be at home more. It’s easier to be a present and great parent when you aren’t forced to work long hours or for some women 2nd and 3rd jobs just to keep the kids fed and clothed. Clearly if all single parents lived off benefits even when their child is school aged and at school during majority of the work day, the country wouldn’t function.!! O do think that he is a decent parent and not a bad person but he needs to find a long term plan and get a job at least while his kid is at school. Benefits should be a short term thing for those in huge need, not a healthy young man’s plan starting in their early 20s

You may support drains on society such as Craig, you shouldn't as they're dragging the country down. He is young, fit and healthy and needs to stop making excuses and start working.
