For those familiar with the musical version of the Shavian classic Pygmalion, this may serve as an example of the middle-class morality disliked by Alfred Doolittle of the "undeserving poor." If the law allows it, why stew about whether it is the right thing to do? Why not instead ask if HoH filing status should also be claimed?

From the mother’s perspective,

A man was made to help support his children
Which is the right and proper thing to do
A man was made to help support his children
But, with a little bit of luck, with a little bit of luck
They'll go out and start supporting you
