was speaking to a couple I know today, both out of work and living on benifits. They have 3 children and they are very vocal about how awful it is that they barely get enough money to survive. It turn out that she is now pregnant with their 4th child! This was planned and they are delighted?! They use food banks and thir children have every gadget and toy known to man!
When I asked how on earth they will manage with another child she blatantly said the money they recieve will go up and that it is her right to have as many children as she likes?!!
I have 2DC, I would love a 3rd but we would struggle finNcislly so have made the decision not to. I believe benifits should be capped at 2 children, she obviously doesn't agree! If she can't afford to pay for the children she has why should I go without yet pay for hers through my taxes? AIBU?

AIBU?
if you can't afford the children you have you shouldn't have more?

I predict:
Lots of groaning about 'this again'
Lots of suspicious 
faces about you knowing the intricate details of the family.
Lots of Tory blaming
Lots of Labour blaming
Lots of 'hilarious' jones about goats and flatscreen TVs.
Wonder how many have appeared in the time it took to post this
