I hate working long hours too... But that 16 hours a week considered too much is ridiculous

[@callmecharlottex]

16 is the max I can do right now too but for me it's because of disabilities and mental health. Complete opposite of this woman on here right?

[@Chaseniceness]

I knew a woman who only had 2 and when they were at school she cleaned her flat and did all the shopping.
Credit to her the children had a nice dinner, clean bed and clothes.

[@paulinegauthier1867]

Was she forced to have 8 kids??

[@stratfordbaby]

Another puppy mill.

[@95jujo]

I don't know. But she did not get pregnant on her own

[@stratfordbaby]

She's got her GCSEs in babymaking.

[@cje3247]

“It’s hard having eight.” Ya think? Qualifications before popping out 8 children.

[@laura1998xoxo]

Welcome to the Real world. Nobody made you have 8 kids, level 2 ain't hard either. It's gcse level

[@SterlingFogg]

Basically she is being paid to continue to have children. What a great system. While hard-working, responsible people who don't have children (because they know they can't afford them) suffer for her benefit!

[@mor8121]

Should be if you haven’t paid any tax you cannot claim benefits simple as that

[@stratfordbaby]

She's got money for fake eyelashes.

[@Peonia-Melbourne]

Omgoodness

[@Christine-os7le]

sorry this woman is trying her best and got to say it same babys are not planned and yes we are so judgemental most but as far as I can see this woman needs a medal not grilled by sameone who is in a good job and gets a good pay life is harder know we’re all feeling it being a carer is not an easy job it can be a very challenging job not a lot of people can do it old folk die on you they can be very difficult there are a lot of different daily difficult people that are being cared for careing companies it’s not the easiest of jobs and not for everybody just saying

[@madeleinejones9757]

this woman has tried her best. how can she provide care for 8 children even working 16 hours a week? education on birth control and support for women in concerning situations needs to be the forefront of our minds.

[@nathaliejenart2977]

Then get qualifications before, lets be honest, careworknis formpeople who didnt find other work

[@janebeattie9071]

Also stay with a partner who takes responsibility long enough. 😢

[@ninazuccaro7897]

She honestly kind of had me before the surgery

[@stratfordbaby]

Another grifter.

[@danielstevenson9428]

I worked a 45 hour week and got my degree, life is hard but sat on tv saying your a quitter, you cant work or hack long shifts isn’t going to help, and two 8 hour shifts face reality that’s an advantage shift, I know people my self included who work in care, hospitality, nursing who work 12 hour shifts

[@clonejones7955]

I just read an article on this and thought it was April fools for a minute.Nope and this is unbelievable.Eight kids and now they're on wellie as well.😂😂😂😂😂

[@MrAcook1985]

Birth control

[@goych]

We are conditioned to survive and reproduce. What evidence do I have, we keep surviving and reproducing

[@stratfordbaby]

Even abortion was available.

[@madmikeproductionsuk]

It was a choice to have 8 kids.
It’s a choice to not have a partner.
It’s a choice to work or not.
This country is too easy for people to manipulate.
She says she isn’t manipulating the system but she’s working less than 16 hours a week and on a course therefore getting housing benefits ect working tax credits, child tax credits and wages 😂😂😂
That’s manipulating the system.
She said herself if she worked more than 16 hours a week she looses benefits, paying rent and council tax was too hard was what I heard so she now does a course and works less than 16 hours 😂😂😂🤦‍♂️

[@mjjones3216]

She can't provide for all of those kids with no assistance unless she makes at least 50 an hour.Also,people need to stop telling her don't have kids.They are already here.Maybe she was married and in a better place financially before she had kids.

[@bigkuriboh3814]

Oh shut up

[@lydiasmith4687]

Absolutely not she is the classic give birth get money person lol geeeez

[@susieadams1553]

If you can't afford so many kids you shouldn't have them simples

[@laura1998xoxo]

Working tax credit and child benefit to pay for kids?????? Is u mental

[@paulhogg9153]

She's probably getting payed to go on the programme, thats why she is there making an easy buck

[@Peonia-Melbourne]

She was with one person and had 8 children , not with 5 different partners

[@angel31941]

wait....
do her kids get ill that often ??? really starting to think she's making it uo and using kids as an excuse to not work that what I think.

[@bonaldbonaldson5628]

She will regret this lol

[@moirobson734]

Should of been sanctioned

[@MalcoDude]

8 kids with probably 8 different partners.....

[@Uneasy_Artist]

She said in the video it's the same partner

[@susieadams1553]

​@@Uneasy_Artist if it's the same partner why isn't he supporting them ? He needs to step up but probably plays the system as well.
