RICH HOUSE POOR HOUSE REVISITED - A YEAR LATER. NEW SERIES SUNDAY CH5 9/10pm

[Blondeshavemorefun]

Finally. We see if having money and maybe people helping /mentoring them made a difference

Rich house poor house changed my life - so I’m
Hoping that a yes

Are they any better off

This will be interesting

Always good to revisit shows like this to see if things changed

My mum used to do nights in Tesco, or a motorway services when I was small and she and dad were skint.
But there were no tax credits back then and dad had no complaints about looking after us both.

Exactly @jay55. As no other money she worked when she could

Most of the families are poor by choice. They massively overspend but the mum chooses not to work. I can't recall any of the poor families recently where both of the parents work FT.

Been a few couples where both work but rare

E3 tonight

No names on tv just saying catch up with families to see if rhph changed their lives

These are just like ads for the rich families businesses

We said that at the time that promoting their business

They obv knew they were going to do a spin off a year later

Tho not expecting covid to hit a month later

@Blondeshavemorefun

I honestly think some people just don’t want to work

Esp if get rent paid for other ways

Often on rhph they have a couple who have young children so mum
Doesn’t work

As childcare costs too much

I get that

But

Why can’t the mum work a few evenings /nights as cleaner for offices or in a shop

My friend did that. Think was 7-12 and 6-1 - 2 nights a week for think 4/5yrs while kids small

Sometimes you just can't if it doesn't fit with the job your DH does - my friend couldn't go back to her original job due to an hour and a half commute and the expectation of lots of ad hoc out of hours hours work to visit sites all over the country n- no nursery would have entertained ad hoc till 8pm, or before 6am starts. However her DH also worked a job that had ad hoc overtime (which paid well) but meant she couldn't ever rely on him being home by 6 or 7pm, or not having to work over a weekend.

Yes I get that @Ariest

But the families shown on here rarely have well paid jobs , nor do ad hoc

So the wives could get a part time evening job to earn extra money , if they are struggling, which they are
