A question about : Housekeeping budget

Im a married dad with a lovely wife and three kids (aged 11,6 and 2)

My wife stays at home to look after the kids.

I want to set a monthly budget for how much she should be spending to look after everyone.

At the moment there is no budget and the month end credit card bill can be eye watering!

So its basically a budget on how much my wife is allowed to spend every month.

A question about : JSA as a house husband?

Hi guys,

Quick question.

My wife is expecting and works full time and I have a job but its casual and it really died down.

After her maternity cover she will return to work and I will become a house husband.

My question is can I claim contribution based JSA when a house husband as I would actively still be seeking work even if it only just covered childcare costs?

If not it doesnt matter just interested.

Thanks

Danny
