Not a million miles from here we have a couple of large families in a HA owned development. I've lost count of how many kids they have between them but none of those who've left school appear to be working and most of them seem to have already followed their parents' example and wasted no time producing their own offspring. Given that they struggle to look after themselves their only ambition, if you can call it that, appears to be having kids to get benefits and ultimately more social housing. I wonder what their children will aspire to... |
One woman locally married a Turk and had a child with him, she boasted about the money she received and that his business was in her name. Now that the child is in school I get the impression she wants another.... she has been told me and another guy in the pub that she doesn't like to use certain types of contraception, I get the impression she is trying to trick someone into giving her her next meal ticket.
Another young one with 2 kids had been talking about having a third with her current boyfriend, within the past few weeks she appears to have gone a bit quiet on the issue.
