blueberryboybait · 02/04/2013 21:23

Nearly £500 a month on takeaways/eating out. That is our monthly food/bills budget.

sleepdodger · 02/04/2013 21:23

This isn't real is it?

FullOfChoc · 02/04/2013 21:23

Could you feed 15 for £23.30 then?

£480 a month on eating out and takeaways!

thekidsrule · 02/04/2013 21:24

speechless

did you see the young mormon boy spitting at his dad[bushock]

girliefriend · 02/04/2013 21:24

omg Shock

why on earth would you buy new socks everyday? What a waste!!

girliefriend · 02/04/2013 21:26

yes thekidsrule - I was mortified!!

Seriously if my dd spat at me she would only do it the once I promise you!!
Disgusting.

xigris · 02/04/2013 21:26

New socks everyday???????!!!! I know that's far too many ? and ! but really?! Wow.

VictorTango · 02/04/2013 21:26

How do they afford the socks/eating out/takeaways?

AmberSocks · 02/04/2013 21:26

i think the religious family seem ok so far.

HepzibahFlurge · 02/04/2013 21:27

the spitting was disgusting - I would not have put up with ds doing that for one second
And new socks everyday plus eating out/takeouts 3-4 times a week for that family in Sunderland How do they afford it?
23.20 for pizza is very cheap though - we are in Hampshire and it cost us that to get takeout pizza for the three of us

Think this episode is the most jaw dropping so far :)

madasamarchhare · 02/04/2013 21:27

Yep and judgy pants here too. How go the Mormon family afford to spend 230 per week on a tesco shop. That's approx 900 a month. Obv not on a huge salary as still eligible for child benefit. And the spitting. Just disgusting he didn't even reprimand the child

AmberSocks · 02/04/2013 21:28

easier said than done.it is disgusting,and i think he could of looked more bothered by itbut he was probably embarrassed.

HepzibahFlurge · 02/04/2013 21:28

The landlord of that pub must love that Sunderland family!

AmberSocks · 02/04/2013 21:29

i dot know how they manage to feed so many on that much,we spend 250 a week and we have 4.

madasamarchhare · 02/04/2013 21:30

Think it speaks volumes that in many of these episodes the older children are absolutely against having a large family. I wonder if this confirms lack of attention for each child and reflects the amount they're expected to look after the younger ones

thekidsrule · 02/04/2013 21:30

the dad with the beard dosent say much

FairyArmadillo · 02/04/2013 21:31

I am really struggling not to be judgemental about New Sock Lady. I hope she gives the "old" socks to charity and not just throw them away.

madasamarchhare · 02/04/2013 21:31

Kidsrule bet he can't get a word in edge ways!!

AmberSocks · 02/04/2013 21:32

my sil doesnt use proper plates and cutlery,they dont even own them,they use disposable ones,they have 6.

girliefriend · 02/04/2013 21:32

Yes my friend is one of 14 and has only had 2 kids herself - she is really anti having a large family herself.

Think it is so unfair to expect the older ones to be babysitters like that.

thekidsrule · 02/04/2013 21:33

ha ha,think ur right madasamarchhare

missed it, was does he do as a job?

madasamarchhare · 02/04/2013 21:34

I think they said he's a mechanic but didn't say much about it

thekidsrule · 02/04/2013 21:35

thanks

VictorTango · 02/04/2013 21:36

He is a mechanic but they didn't say if he owned the garage or was an employee
