Especially when most working people couldn't never afford to live somewhere costing that much?

The trouble is HoHo, the Daily Mail could have twisted this so much who knows what the woman actually said. And maybe she is a nasty piece of work, maybe she's very messed up, or maybe she knew what the reaction would be - already was given who was interviewing her - and she thought well f*ck you.

her 1st child was a product of child grooming.

BlackMaryJanes · 19/02/2013 22:16

How do you know their life is shit?

As I said above, how can she provide each of them with the attention they deserve?

"I am more annoyed at the woman's attitude than any of her financial gains."

Exactly. If she had been really positive , really upbeat and realised her good fortune more people would have been fairly ok with it all.

PessaryPam · 19/02/2013 22:16

I love working hard to pay for people like this. Just makes me feel so good NOT.

BlackMaryJanes · 19/02/2013 22:17

her 1st child was a product of child grooming.

And the other 10?

mrsdevere so their lives aren't shit? So she isn't a victim? So we shouldn't pity her?

Make your mind up.

gaelicsheep · 19/02/2013 22:17

Rest assured PessaryPam, you're not personally paying for them.

I would like to think I am a very unsheep-like sheep in this respect.

To mix a whole load of metaphors, the baying hounds on this thread are pawns being skillfully manouevred by a Government puppet.

14 going by the paper. (although some on here would have her as young as 12).

Neither you or I no the circumstances to which the first child was conceived, calling it abuse does not make it abuse.

Although legally it is sexual abuse.

Auntmaud · 19/02/2013 22:22

Ncnc, give over, it was tasteless but hardly more than that given the theme of this thread.

LineRunner · 19/02/2013 22:22

I agree that there are posters on this thread whose posts are such that they are best ignored and that those things which are beloved on MNHQ should be sent toot sweet.

Ok, I'm pretty sure AuntMaud is either David Cameron or Margaret Thatcher.

I'm out.

I keep getting sucked into these kinds of threads because it matters to me. It matters to me that people think like this. This country is heading down a horrible road and pitting people against each other is working frighteningly well.

I listen when people describe myself and my son as scroungers, I listen and try and explain that actually no, I haven't had houses and money thrown at me. I've put people right countless times when they try and tell me that I receive more money than the average working family earns. I've listened when people tell me how disgusting it is that I have a car and a computer. I've even listen when being told that I shouldn't have left my husband if I couldn't support myself without him.

I can't read any more of this one.

gaelicsheep · 19/02/2013 22:24

I would draw MN Towers' attention to the vilest post on this thread, about taking the children into care, except that I believe it should be left to stand as a hideous example of what we as a society have become.

BlackMaryJanes · 19/02/2013 22:24

I suggest after BlackMaryJane's revolting misogynistic comment regarding vagina size

Hold on just a tooting minute. I've produced two kids vaginally and my vagina is certainly a big more spacious than when I was a teen. After 11, I perish the thought.
