To think it is ridiculous that a woman with 11 kids is getting a £400,000 house for nowt

[angelos02]

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

Those of you who think this is a bad idea, what the fuck is supposed to happen to the children?

(Please don't say she shouldn't have had them, I'm talking about these children in this world right now, not hypothetical future people!)

Auntmaud sneers at Guardian links though - too choc full of actual facts for her liking

Love the guardian article!!!

Yes they did annd they paid for them by working

Its just my opinion, she doesn't care what any one of us thinks

As the thread draws to a close I am happy to say thank FUCK that the decent people, the posters I admire and respect on this website, have shown that I was right in my admiration. I think a little of me would have died if it were not for the decent and well thought out posts amidst the hateful, hurtful and downright disgusting views shown from the DM sycophants.

Your body does not keep changing after each child at the same rate that it did after your first child.

So squeezing all those kids out has had the same impact on her body as me squeezing two out has had on mine? Do you seriously believe that?

The Guardian article is excellent. Boody hell. Puts the rarity of this into perspective.

Maybe the frothers need to change their bibs and get out of the DM spoon-fed highchair.

No they didn't midastouch. A good proportion of the children will have died. Would that satisfy you better?

I read that I while back. I don't actually agree with Ally that because the number of people living like this is small, it doesn't need looking at. But then again I'm unlikely to agree with him!

Can someone link to the Guardian piece please?

Why do they always say unemployed if it is a stay home mum! With that many kids it is definitely hard 'work' albeit unpaid. I am a stay home mum of five. That is pretty hard work so can't imagine 11! I don't envy it to be honest even for a new house! We are stopping at five as I can't imagine giving more the time and attention and simply keeping up with house etc. The cost comes in to it also.

This sort of thing will always happen because men can get away with clearing off and not having to pay for their kids, the woman is blamed and slated. Also it is pretty normal for many women to want to have babies and be with them while small. This has always happened but the way society is now hasn't and it doesn't suit everyone. There will always be people 'on the fringes' of what is considered acceptable at a particular time.

Perhaps benefits are topped up to a living wage. But it costs money to work. Transports costs, lunches, clothes and so on. I don't think many people with eleven children could work. Still I expect somebody will be along in a minute to tell me they can. I don't know what the answer is.

It was linked already, do keep up.

Bummer. Missed it.

Well, I'm just pleased this Govt is going to tackle benefits and cap them. Very pleased.

how lovely for you :)

Viv there are 190 families in the UK with 10 children or more on benefits.

Again Mrs De vere, do you?

I never said the children should suffer but why should our nhs and police etc be cut because we're spending money on building 400 grand houses for people like this decide that it is their god given right to have as many children as they desire and not pay for them. Thats all i have to say!

"Well, I'm just pleased this Govt is going to tackle benefits and cap them. Very pleased."

So you'll be happy to fork out ££££ for housing families in emergency accommodation then?

And for children to be made homeless?

I suggest you go and have a think about that, read the article again to see what they Council actually did, read the Guardian article and then think some more.

and care bills for all those poor kids who end up there
