Sleeping on the sofa at 12 weeks pregnant 😞

[TiredButTryin5x]

just needed to vent a bit sorry xx

i’m 12 weeks pregnant now n still sleeping on the sofa every night. got 4 boys in a tiny flat n no room left at all. oldest has box room, two middle ones share, little one still in with me (or meant to be). but he kicks all night n i just end up on sofa again. my back’s gone n i’m not even that far along yet 😩

i asked the council for help but they said i’m “adequately housed” cos we got a roof over our heads. but it don’t feel like that. i’m exhausted all the time. boyfriend don’t stay over n hasn’t offered to help with housing stuff. just feel like no one sees how hard this is.

i’m doing my best but it’s not enough. just want somewhere we all got a bed 😢

Kindly, why are you having a fifth child that you can’t adequately house?

Not sure why it's the council's responsibility to house all these children you've chosen to have OP.

So how many extra kids have you had since this issue? Why have another?

Bloody hell, is this a joke ?

Some people’s sense of entitlement is unbelievable….

Seriously? You must know what the responses are going to be

Triple bunk in the biggest room.

bunk beds in the second biggest room.

you have a single bed in the box room.

Move into the box room and put the kids in the bigger rooms.

Could you put a day bed into the living room instead?

This isn’t a real post right?

Just out of curiosity are you claiming as a single parent on UC?

Nice wind up.

But in case it’s not… for the love of god, grow up and stop popping out kids.

Classy.

Where are you going to pop the baby in 6 months time?

I didn’t have 5 kids because I can’t afford to house/feed 5 kids.

stop having babies you can’t look after or provide a room.

Are you the same poster who had the thread about your 15 year old and how he stays in his room and games a lot but helps you with babysitting? You hadn’t sorted out what he is doing in September yet?
If so, quite a lot of people questioned you having another child so I’m not sure what replies you thought you might get here!
I would put your youngest in with the other two brothers now do you get your room back for you and the baby when it comes.

I wouldnt call three bedrooms a tiny flat. I’m guessing this isn’t a real post,

It is, yes. 2 days ago she said she’s going to get more support as she feels she’s let her oldest son down.
This post indicates the entire opposite will happen.

didn’t expect to get shouted at like this 😔 i know it’s a mess n i’m not saying i deserve a palace. just trying to do my best for my kids. i didn’t plan to get pregnant again, it just happened. not that it matters now, cos baby’s coming and i’ll love them same as the rest.

i’m not expecting handouts, just asked if anyone’s been through similar or had advice. it’s not easy sleeping on a sofa pregnant n trying to hold everything together.

yes i’m on UC. i work part time cleaning in a school. it’s not loads but i’m trying. i know people will judge but i still came on here cos i’m tired n needed somewhere to talk. soz if that was wrong xx

@AnneLovesGilbert what a bitchy, horrible comment !

Don't get your baby terminated if you don't want to because of some judgemental women who you will never meet ! Bloody awful telling her to do that just because you don't agree .

Asking where she’s going to put/pop the baby when it’s born? How so?
