just lie and tell them you have a kid
double down, even, and tell them the kid has a debilitating chronic disease that you regularly need to take time off work to bring to appointments and provide support for.
now you have even more free time
I've heard that if you let the government know about your child, they even give you free money!
I don't feel the need to defraud the government and our limited social welfare taxes. I'll happily tell my employer white lies about family who don't exist, but never the government.
Would be very hard to fake a child to the government...
