Channel 4..13 kids and wanting more..

[~max~]

Anyone watching this programme? What are your toughts so far?

I've only seen the asian family so far, and I have to say, it seems to be all down to the father to decide! The poor lady doesn't want anymore...
I haven't got any myself, but I do want a couple eventually. No more though, as I don't think you can dedicate yourself to them as much, and offer them as much if you have more, both emoptionally and financially.

Ha ha! Wiggal, yes I can hear it now, he does sound like Johnny Vegas! lol

[~max~]

lol Bigmamma...I'm sure the "milkman" was responsible for a few more...;O)

[bigmamma]

When I used to volunteer in a local hospice, one of the ladies had about 15 kids and none of them ever used to come and see her.

I worked on the day unit but would go up and see any of them in for respite and when the end was near and was heartbreaking to see her on her own.

cut his benefit and they will stop having children. if you can get twice as much than working would you stop.this government is only after giving more to deadbeats like him.

[puddicat]

please please give these people a shake! especially the muslim layabout, his poor wife is knackered and downtrodden, and the other lives in in fantasy hippyworld with her long strangly hair and her ginger hubby,with no thought to what her older children think, just ask the agreeable young uns they give the right answers

[Keroppe]

im watching it now, that asian guy has a really annoying voice!!! i cant beleive all our tax money goes to his family!! he needs to get a job! being a muslim isnt an exscuse!

[~max~]

I think it's just very selfish to have that many kids if you're not very well off. I'm wondering what they think the kids will become? Growing up taking care of younger siblings, through obligation really, not getting any valuable attention, let alone any encouragement? I personaly find this man despicable.

Yes, he probably writes "home" telling them he's got all these kids, but so what? It's just a number, I don't think there is any real quality to it.

In decades past, people had lots of kids because 1/ there was no contraception and 2/ the kids were pretty much the only way the parents would not end up destitutes in old age, not being able to work.
Surely, there is no need for this now???

[puddicat]

Probably looking for them to look after them in there dotage! wake up and smell the coffee they wont to come near they are embarassed by there parents insensitivity!!!

[B00]

LMAO!!!

Wiggal, I said exactly the same to Mr Boo- sound like Johnny Vegas.

How can you possibly expect to give equal love to 10+ kids? There just wouldn't be enough hours in the day!

[sleepy1]

im youngest off 7 thats bad enough ...but 13 kids think they need to get a tv lol

[Petal~flower]

oy sleepy, you're up late!

I felt sorry for the asian mum, the husband said he used a condom once, and it didnt feel right.

Its obscene for someone to have that many children, not work and let us taxpayers fork out for them

[sleepy1]

petal hi i missed it tonight .....

[Petal~flower]

sleepy, you should of been in my house then, god I was grumbling all the way through it! geez

[leelapops]

Hello max, and everyone else :) This was definitely one of those "shout at the TV" programmes!

I kind of think it is a little unethical to have so many children, especially if you don't have the financial ability to support them. I know children are a choice, but as has been said here, how can you give all of your time to so many? Something must have to give....

I wouldn't want kids, not in the world we currently live in. I fret enough for my dog!!

the muslim mans house was a complete mess, but the other peoples houses were very nice and clean and well done out, he spends �400 a week on food, wonder how much money he gets from benefits. made me "laugh" when he said he couldnt get a job to match his qualifications, so get any job, more like he couldnt get a job to match the amount he was scrounging from dss.

God knows if Social Services were watching the muslim guy from Rochdale last night and his wife.......... he got the kids up in the morning for school and half of them had slept the night in their school uniform......... an utter disgrace. Now I know why I work full time - having to pay my taxes to support other people's kids. That said, the other two families did support themselves to all good to them.
