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 😢

Disgusting comment. How vile.

What do you think the future outcome will be for these kids?

Respectfully, you’re not doing right by your kids, or by yourself by adding another child to this situation. You’re being selfish.

Pop the baby !! You were being bitchy and well you know it !!! In hospital maybe

If you can’t house the 4 children you have …

I’d second what a PP said, 2 kids in largest room, 2 in second and you in the 3rd and smallest. At least you’d have your own bed to yourself.

You seem very agitated. I hope you’re okay.

Sorry but I don’t think it’s bitchy to question the sense of having a fifth child with a partner who isn’t helping to raise them (either with his time or money.) Plus OP has already posted that she is struggling to cope with a child who just games and has no idea of what they’re doing after school. Seems like she has enough on her plate already.

Op when the babies here then you could be classed as being overcrowded depending on ages and sex of your children and then rehoused.

@Isitreallysohard you can say that about any kids, sometimes the richest families have the kids with the most problems!

The ones that are paying you mean ?

I mean you are expecting a hand out when you’re moaning the council won’t give you a bigger house.
It doesn’t sound like you’re really considering your current, existing children’s needs at all.

I'm pretty sure this poster has made these kinds of posts before and it seems genuine

I feel sorry for the children lumbered with this situation

I recognise your style of writing plus the 4 boys and pregnancy. This is you isn't it?

@TiredButTryin5x delete your post , you are in a vulnerable position and you are being hounded on here . Seek advice from your health visitor and try to get yourself in a better position . Good luck, my mum was one of 8 and ended up with a really successful construction business so ignore the haters xx

Getting pregnant doesn’t “just happen” you have 4 already so know how it happens. Why not take precautions?

I thought the same! But surely you wouldn’t do another post about your life after all the abuse on there! Unless you’re a bit dim…

I like someone’s idea of putting a triple bunk bed in the large room, double bunk in the other which then free’s up a room for you.

I think that’s probably the best temporary solution.

She needs to stop creating new threads. She frequently posts these woe is me threads, posters have a go at her, she gets the hump then she flounces.

OP please just stop and try to make a better life for you and your kids. Oh and stop having more babies!!!

Don’t have five kids you have no room for. Simples. It’s not the councils responsibility that you have too many kids.
