to think that people who choose to have more children whilst living in social housing shouldn't expect to be given a bigger place?

[balsamicfundamentalist]

I am a member of another pregnancy forum and there is a woman there who has just had her 5th child (by choice). Neither her nor her partner work and she is complaining that the council will not giver them a bigger house (she is in a 3 bed). All the other members are sympathising with her but I don't understand why. Surely if you choose to have a child when you know your home is not big enough, you shouldn't expect the council to give you a bigger one, especially when it is sought after subsidised housing?

what would you like to know about my 'hectic benefit lifestyle'? Constant hospital appointments? The joys of hoisting? Double incontinence?
And all for £55 a week.
And no flat screen or goat. Or pre-cut fruit.

ya got me, blud

You can like what you choose, you silly little Madam. I'm quite capable of holding a debate but do not choose to do so with a Daily Mail reading, prejudiced, badly informed person. I do not have to, and have no intention of justifying my existence to you.
However, if you'd bothered to read my well worded, carefully constructed, grammatically correct sentences, you would, as I have stated, be able to work out that holding said debate with me would be informative, interesting and probably beyond your capabilities.
Now, off to bed with you, it's nearly ten and you have school in the morning.

oh sorry, i apologise, its just that you seem to have missed a whole plateful of it here. Never mind, perhaps you're just tired from working so hard.

We have moved on from...... to ,,,,,,,

well done.

Its progress of sorts.

Kal You're not even getting cutted up pear? That's awful!

i wanna goat

We had 'entitled ponys' earlier in the thread.

One of the falling ones?

doggiemamma....i think u will find out if u ever have to resort to benefits that u will be in for a shock....as u have ur own business u will need to have all of ur tax and NI payments to be up to date or u will not be entitled to zilch....have been down this road with the benefits agency when my husband , also self employed , had the misfortune of having a broken ankle....

Those fainting goats are weird.

Would someone please explain to me about the goat? i keep seeing veiled comments about goats on these benefit bashing threads. If i go on benefits do i get a free goat? We did think about selling our house and raising alpacas once. Until i did my homework and found out a breeding pair cost 15K!!! But had i known about the goats, they are a bit like alpacas i guess

Hmm, I don't have a degree. I do work night shifts. My punctuation does not go into overdrive when I work nightshifts.......

Perhaps,,,,,,, if I went to uni it would??????

I also cook and clean and work some dayshifts too. No-one cries for me

I don't want a benefit claimant to come and do my cleaning for free for me. I have far too much respect for myself and for others to want that. Just the mere thought of it makes my teeth itch.

goats eat your washing. I've seen it

oh well thanks for that luv, if it goes tits up, i'll just put my PhD to use and get a job. As we have our own business, and I do all the tax and NI calculations i am strangely aware of that.

Oh and "you will not be entitled to zilch" is a double negative so i'd be entitled to something, hun

i think she could be from netmums

Goats eat washing?

Righty-ho, where do I sign on? I needs me a goat.

you run out of clothing eventually dooin. Unless you take your benefits down to primark to get more

wouldnt want a benefit claimant doing my housework either to be honest....they might nick me best china and sell it down the market for half a crown/or their latest fix

The goat thing is from someone not unlike the lovely missG starting a thread called something like 'benefit claimants get my goat'

FFS MissG you only need ONE. At the end of each fecking sentence.

You write like my DS's birth mum. I dont have a good image in my head right now.

Now going by your style of writing you cannot possibly be out of your 20s (sorry 20 something MNers out there. I know you dont all write like that but I dont know anyone over 25 that does).

In which case I would like to say 'You are welcome'

For me and a lot of the posters you are denigrating so merrily on this thread who have subsidized you all of your life.

If you are over 30, well frankly you should be ashamed of yourself. Please do something about your writing or you will be buggered if you ever have to find another job.

HTH

Half a crown? have we gone back in time?

Doinmecleaning if you saw the standard of English of some of the undergraduate write ups ive had the misfortune to mark, you would despair of it too.

missgrohl a broken ankle is no excuse for not working and trying to claim benefits!!! How entitled are you!
