    I really liked the mother with 7 children.

    As for the other mother.....thank goodness I don't live near her!

    The tattooed lady is scary beyond belief. I am going around my house checking all my doors are locked and I live several hundred miles away from her, thankfully, in a nice area.

    Even her poor little dog seems miserable and scared.

    She is probably - no definitely - the worst mother we have seen on these shows since day dot. What a dreadful example she is to her children.

    Her small kid using the C word right in front of her and she hardly battered an eyelid! Says is all.

    Usually these programs I can take with a pinch of salt but this woman made me angry,
    The disgusting way she talked to her children and grandchildren made me so mad and the "mate" "mate" "mate" at them I wanted to punch her.
    Awful woman remind me not to watch that program again as I really did get angry Jimmy those poor children haven't a chance in life living and talking like she does,>:(

    Makes me wonder how many gems like this I'm missing, since I see this FM's posts only if someone quotes him or her.

    I'm so very sorry to butt in but how do you not see someone's posts? I'm new here recently so only just learning I have asked also a few times about multi quoting but no one has answered me :(

    You add someone to your ignore list if you do not want to see their posts.

    Here is how to multi quote.

    If you have someone on your 'ignore' list, you don't see their posts. Though you will see them if they're quoted in another post.

    To multi-quote just click on the middle icon on the right, on every post you want to quote. When you get to the end of the thread, click "Add Reply".

    Click on their name, then click on "View Public Profile" and the option will be under the date they were last active (right hand side).

    dragged up not brought up. i'm not referring to the kids of the mum that appeared to be trying her best, i'm referring to the kids of the smoking swearing tattoo queen. regardless of what folk on here or elsewhere think about folk getting on in life, not sitting on the dole, being motivated etc etc, it must be 10 ... no 100 times harder for kids brought up in environments like that. and don't all reply with 'that should be their motivation' which for some it possibly is, but i hazard a guess unless you're a very determined kid/young adult, being brought up like that is starting you off in almost the worst possible way in life.

    Not long watched this. That Hastings hag is a thoroughly abhorrent benefits scrounging oxygen thief who should be shot. Twice.

    Why the hell am I paying taxes to support people who decide to have so many kids knowing full well that they are totally and utterly unable to support the kids themselves! What happened to taking responsibility?

    I'd rather have a job than a big family like that. Unless I could get the wives to look after the kids.

    I would place a wager on the fact that polish guy leaves that woman as soon as he gets his benefits agreed - IF he gets them. I thought if you came over here from the EU you had to wait 24 months for benefits, or work.

    The law probably hadn't come in when this was filmed.

    The other bloke didn't fill in his WCA form and wonders why his benefits have been cut.

    And he blames it on every deparment in the DWP except himself... He could have sent in the form and then sent in the other information when it arrived.

    Although that tinned mince did look debateable.. My two dogs canned food looked a bit better than that.. But I will give this guy his due, he does try and look after the children and has routine and rules etc ...

    agreed. however i thought the portion sizes were way too big. they could have got another meal out of the pies they made by adding more veg as as a side

    That woman that has no food in, with her polish "boyfriend" of only a couple of months is making me seethe.. She has a bloody big swimming pool in the garden that she could sell, and a log cabin that her husband bought with her kids money, apparently, and of course they had the computer stuff stolen from it. I'm surprised she hasn't rented out the log cabin and make some extra money...

    have only just tuned into this programme, but sure I heard them say he gets £1000:o a week for that lot..... sorry but I think they could find healthier options on that.... @riane probably give extra large portions to stop them eating between meals

    I can forgive the tinned mince as I think it was on special offer but at least there were lots of fresh veg. The kitchen was spotless and, as you say, there were rules and the kids had to help around the house. Considering the number of kids, the household is remarkably calm, with no shouting and swearing.
