he could claim child benefit for them if you married and they came to the uk, i think for 1 child its £75-ish a month, and for 2 kids its £125 a month

at work many of my brits co-workers think that we immigrants are just here for benefits bec most of our eastern european workmates that's what their doing unfortunately. Some of them works just 32 hours so they can claim child benefits and tax credit. One of my hungarian workmate said to me that she got an easy life here in UK (she gets child benefit, tax credit and as a single parent she gets more) which is a bit annoying that I work so hard and her she only need to work 3 days and gets more than me working 12hrs a day and 5-6days a week.

of course sometimes I explained to them that we are not subject to public fund only those in EU. Its hard to keep on depending ourselves but still some don't believe us at all, so our life here in UK are nice as we can buy what we want etc and its hard that some people think we are oppotunist.
