Benefit Bashing

A mum I know and her DP with two children live in a two bed (nice) HA house. Neither of them work and have not worked for as long as I've known them (two years) I don't know about before then. She has told me they are trying for another baby, not to get a bigger house or anything, just because they want four children eventally. I would love four children but can't have that many because for one we just can't afford four.

AIBU to feel a bit pissed off that they can have more children and I can't or am I just a jealous benefit basher.

ps They are both nice and don't have a flatscreen TV.

Hmm I clicked onto starlights profile expecting to see some stunner, since she thinks all women are jealous of her

foofy your name makes me laugh

i was thinking along the lines of, she's pissed, talking shite and may regret things in the morning....

perhaps not, which is unfortunate, because I thought she was ok really - a bit mouthy, (aren't we all though) but her recent posts made me think that she was really juvenille (regardless of being a mother of two)

Shame really...

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/02/2011 23:00

But it's not mean for her to call tsc a fat ugly bitch?

TSC as you say you are old enough to be starlights mum, take a fucking look at yourself then.

Seriously, object to someone's ignorant views, but the snide personal comments and 'argos' sniggering are unbelievable.

Thank god I've gotta go to work now, there's about 1000 people on mumsnet tonight that need a bloody massive slap.

fanjoforthemammaries7850 · 19/02/2011 23:06

Ooh I think people are lucky you are working, or they'd get a really sore virtual slap Hmm

KazBarTheFriendlyGhost · 19/02/2011 23:07

Earlier, when starlight was confused about a poledancer comment I made the following comment to Starlight.....

"starlight - may i just say...

yes your hair is lovely, but can you recognise why people may get the wrong impression of you?

First impressions count and your picture is a tad provocative."

To which she replied.....

"Kaz- No offense taken by that at all, I can see what you're saying!"

Personally, I'd love someone to tell me I looked like a poledancer - so can the one that mentioned it please make my evening Grin

NoDiving · 19/02/2011 23:08

Obviously I meant lucky for me, it's bloody tedious....

KazBarTheFriendlyGhost · 19/02/2011 23:09

canny beat a bit of cyber slapping :)

I wish I could post them actually- the last time I did, it completely defused a huge fight with the power of distraction Grin

Unfortunately, my laptop has been broken by dd2, so I'm on dd1's, and I don't think having my pics on that would be very appropriate Grin

""Fat ugly bitch"" Shock

And you look so lovely on your profile in all those porn star poses, your mother must be so proud.

Portofino · 19/02/2011 23:15

Phew! Though i am sure I have seen BOF's norks somewhere in the past.....

KazBarTheFriendlyGhost · 19/02/2011 23:16

is that the statue of liberty, or is that a pole in disguise....

Aw crap Kazbar I was going to make that obvious jokeGrin

Porto - are you completely wigged out yet that at least two people immediately checked your pics for uncontained norks and such?
