Overcrowding???

It seemed a logical conclusion from your earlier post which basicaly said "you shouldn't have got pregnant". Obviously, as the OP is seeking resolution, I assumed that was what you must mean as it's the only way I know to rectify that situation. Of course, the other conclusion is that you are just saying "well, you didn't wanna do that" while offfering nothing productive to the OP. Hardly useful advice.

People on waiting lists for family homes with social housing providers DO tend to have children, why else would they want a family home? Or are you suggesting that social housing be allocated only to people who have no children, on the assumption that they might have them at some point?

no it didn't!

it was just saying ''you should not have got pregnant''- which is true. People should not get pregnant if they cannot afford to.

I agree. Which is why I offered advice on her current circumstances, rather than an irrelevent scenario.

No - she shouldn't have got pregnant!
it was totally irresponsible bringing a child into the world, with no home of their own and no way of supporting it.

She is not seeking a resolution - she just wants someone to give her a house for nothing.

There would be far less children living in poverty, if their "parents" gave thought to the implications prior to conception.

And what do YOU suggest as a form of resolution?

Couldn't agree more!!

Even sadder is that those of us who spend our lives working end up deciding not to reproduce!! (which is what OH and I have decided)
We both work and have the money and the space for lots of kids, just don't want them!! And know of a few other couples like us that have decided the same.

Good luck gene pool!!

It's that word "entitled" that tends to wind people up.
Strange thing is that those who are paying their own way in private housing seem to be entitled to nothing.

1. a proper sex education with
2. contraceptive advice
3.financial management in schools
4. children putting into the community from a young age
5. full time education until at least 18
6. no benefits unless some form of work is undertaken


All these people seem to have quite a good knowledge of what they can claim and what they are ENTITLED to - if they transferred that ability to retain information to something useful - like education and then a job, they may be able to put more into this country, rather than take?

All good advice, much of which I tend to agree with, but the OP was asking a question about her cicumstances now. What should have happened a few years ago won't change that.

The OP has used the word "entitled" just once, you have used it twice. If it winds you up, then try using it less.
