Should have cleaner/tidier houses seeing as they don't work? I'm a sahm with severe disabilities (supported by dh - no hand outs) & I keep my house clean.

Ps this isn't just about people on benefits - it just so happens I'm watching it on TV now.

Why? It's disgusting how some children are brought up in dirty houses! Especially when you know you're going to be on TV!

How embarrassing to bring your friends round to that filth?

You could have got your title right.

19 kids & counting

MagpieCursedTea · 29/01/2015 20:24
Hmm
gamerchick · 29/01/2015 20:25

I think 16 kids you would have your work cut out. Grin

And it's your own fault you don't claim what you're entitled to. You don't get a medal yanno .

DancingDinosaur · 29/01/2015 20:25

My children are brought up in a dirty house. Shameful eh?

usualsuspect333 · 29/01/2015 20:25

Stop watching it then.

Or go tell someone who gives a fuck.

Fairenuff · 29/01/2015 20:26

You're right OP, with 16 kids (or is it 19), there should be loads of free time for cleaning.

MrsVamos · 29/01/2015 20:28

You should be watching Location with Phil & Kirstie.

Naice clean houses on there.

PiperIsTerrysChoclateOrange · 29/01/2015 20:28

My mum has OCD. He house is spotless at all times.

She washes her shopping before putting it into a cupboard. She uses cotton buds on the groves of the tv. Her house is hoovered and polished every day. ( that is skirting boards as well)

Growing up in that was hell on earth.

JeanBodel · 29/01/2015 20:28

I'm sure we all agree that having a clean house is more important than looking after your children.

TinkerbellaPan · 29/01/2015 20:29

judgejudithjudy likes starting threads slagging off people on benefits.

You must have a dull life OP if all you do is sit around sneering.

Get a hobby.

usualsuspect333 · 29/01/2015 20:29

Kirstie gets on my nerves. I'd do Phil though.

ghostyslovesheep · 29/01/2015 20:30

yawn - I long for more creative goading I really do

Some only have 3 of school age, what do they do with their time? I have 4 kids & manage to keep my house clean bar my teenagers disgusting tip of a room!

So it's acceptable for children to live in filth, working or not working.

Do yourself a huge favor op, pay a visit to your nearest DIY store, find a helpful employee and ask them to give you the biggest grip they sell....

0/10.

DancingDinosaur · 29/01/2015 20:31

Depends what your definition of 'filth' is.

FiftyShadesOfGreen4205 · 29/01/2015 20:31

Oh I'd totally do Phil. I bet he's a kinky bastard.

usualsuspect333 · 29/01/2015 20:31

Haven't you got a room to hoover or summat, Judgey?

MrsVamos · 29/01/2015 20:32

Hi usual.

Me too. Wink

They don't have 19 kids do they - it's 3 families. Titles a bit misleading.

Fairenuff · 29/01/2015 20:33

It's obviously acceptable for your teenage children OP.
