I'm guessing this whole thread is madeup though.

6 people in a 4 bedroom house?

Dry your eyes !

GreyGardens88 · 27/07/2020 20:13

TBH I think you just need to get a grip and a bit of perspective. You have a 4 bedroom house that you own. Not ideal but it's not like there's 5 of you in one room like a lot of people live around the world

whataboutbob · 27/07/2020 20:14

I sometimes wonder if the British obsession with property, the tv programmes, the magazines, the news etc is blinkering us a bit to what is important or even realistic. It’s come to something when people feel a sense of failure if everyone in a family of 6 doesn’t have a bedroom, plus a spare. But the OP is not alone. There’s so much self image and self worth invested in property.

If he's only earning £4 an hour how are you going to foot the extra bills that a 7-bed as opposed to a 4-bed costs?? It sounds like they are the only ones with their heads screwed on! Sober up and look after the kids.

Witchofzog · 27/07/2020 20:19

Jesus wept. Do you know how fortunate you are? Your parents have no obligation to help you. You are an adult who should stand on her own two feet rather than expecting help to buy a 7 bedroom house. You need to get over yourself ffs. This has made me so cross. And stop getting drunk and maudlin with your kids in the house too
At least wait until they are in bed

SmileyClare · 27/07/2020 20:19

I can't afford a 7 bedroom house either. Sad

Terralee · 27/07/2020 20:19

Alcohol does not mix well with depression & anxiety meds. And you should not be drunk in charge of young children.
I can't have children, if I could I would never get drunk with them in my care! None of my friends with young children do this!
If this is a regular occurrence then you need help & I don't mean financial.

Odd thread

Bollocks thread

omg35 · 27/07/2020 20:21

If this post had been about 3 kids rather than 4 I reckon I know you. I'm wondering if it's a red herring and you do only have 3

kazzer2867 · 27/07/2020 20:24

It is a 7 bed, would allow them to stay including my siblings x

I'll agree with anyone feeling sorry for themselves when things aren't working out for them but this has got to be a piss take.

MrsPinkCock · 27/07/2020 20:24

It’s not your last option. Your other option is to stay where you are and live within your means 🤷‍♀️

Emmmie · 27/07/2020 20:25

Surely this is a wind-up thread. It must be 😕

mbosnz · 27/07/2020 20:26

Well, the OP did say in the first post that they were DIC of three kids. I have to say I wonder where's t'other.

IloveBeefJerky · 27/07/2020 20:32

I think it's a wind up thread too 😂

Lizdeflores · 27/07/2020 20:32

.Are your diamond shoes pinching a little, too?
😂😂🙄
I've been shielding since March,I was diagnosed with cancer during lockdown and I live in 1 room in my mum's house. Do I win? I think you need to think about what you have, not what you don't have.

This, with bells on. YABU. Hugely so. Perhaps when you sober up and read this back, you’ll see.

This. Must be a wind up.

Imagine the level of selfish you'd have to be in real life to want your parents to risk their financial security when a bank has deemed you too high risk to fund a seven bed home. Shockingly, with OP's 20 hours pw, her DH's £4 ph and tax credits.

Give over. You were quite convincing until the seven bedrooms post.

YoullFloat · 27/07/2020 20:40

Nope, I'm reporting. Don't buy it.

endofthelinefinally · 27/07/2020 20:41

You are married. All assets of the marriage are owned equally, including the house. Your parents and siblings can stay in an airbnb if they come to visit.
You need to stop drinking, have a coffee/or go to bed.
Children can share. Most do.

drunkmomandsad · 27/07/2020 20:42

I would completely out myself if i gave my whole back story. I am not entitled, nor wear diamond fucking shoes.
Surely if you had a choice, you would want a better life for your kids? Room to run and let off steam etc?

Dh has a clause in the deeds that makes him entitled to a certain amount of money if we sold the house
