Am i being victimized?

Okay, I'm the first to admit my life as not been as successful as some, but I have had fun and circumstances have never fell into place.
I have four kids, 3 different mothers but I take care of all.
All I want is a house to big enough for my current girlfriend(long term over 2 years), and my children, plus 2 lovely kids of Kylies.
The council, I won't say which, only offer a four bed, but I need at least a 5, if not a 6 for comfort, and quality of life.
I have had various jobs,even one lasting over 18 months, in which I contributed to the rent, with only a small subsidy from the council, but this seem to mean nothing in their eyes.
Surely I deserve better than what they last offered me, a desultory detached corner house with only 4 bedrooms on a loud and noisy main road into the city?
I just feel so let down, and don't know where to turn.

    You are not in a position to pay for a 6 bedroom house yourself, so your children will have to share rooms.

    What is wrong with that? Unfortunately in your own words you have not been successful enough to provide your children with their own room.

    You are not being 'victimised' I'm sure many people would love a four bedroom house from the council.

    I'm giving this post the benefit of the doubt as genuine, despite it sounding like a wind up.

    No his 2 least favourite children can share.
  • I can't work out if you are for real or not. :eek:

    If you are, I'd say, jump on your council and take that Four bedroomed house and thank your lucky stars you wasn't all made to live in a one bedroomed flat!

    It was the holding down a job for 18 month and paying some rent that lured that Aussie pop princess in.
