    if thats the case why have you not moved somewhere smaller after all you got a 3 bed house as DS lived with you? and now there are just two of you
    DS and GF need to push themselves they need to find 2nd jobs and push there earnings up there is plenty of little jobs around leafleting ,cleaning and so on it seems its excuse after excuse as to why they cant stand on their own two feet and be decent hard working members of society
    I dont apologise as there are many people working hard many hours a day to make ends meet and this situation seems to yet again rely on everyone else providing everything for them as their right

    I live in a 2 bedroom flat. I'm single with no kids. As I said before in my area there are a tiny amount of one bed properties and they are always earmarked for older people. Are people supposed to downsize just to suit your views?

    I own my flat now but I rented it for over 20 years.There are many people in housing that doesn't suit their exact needs. Mooloo's son and gf do work. As for your plenty of jobs around. Claptrap. This is a line trotted out by people who are not actively jobseeking.

    I am very well qualified. Across 3 different professions. I have been looking for decent part time work or full time work for 18 months now. What I have been offered is zero hours and very part time work (with the expectation that I would do some hours unpaid) and yes I have taken it. Decent hard working members of society? So if you are in poorly paid insecure work you aren't decent or hard working? You can apply for jobs. No response. You can go to interviews. No response. It is soul destroying. For every job advertised there are numerous people chasing them, that is something you neglect to mention.

    And WHO are you to tell me what to think yes I am all for those who are physically or mentally challenged to have every help afforded to them but I am not into mollycoddling a family who make continuous poor choices sorry if you want something you should work for it not expect it surely that is not a bad thought or should we all make and continue to make poor choices and have expectations of free housing free money and so on and our children paid for ?

    Mentally challenged? Are you for real? Look at the absolute state of this. They are working. They do pay rent. I currently get a pittance from the DWP. Its not free money. You also have to actively jobseek and evidence it or risk being sanctioned.

    I have paid into the system for almost 30 years. I don't get free housing either. I own but Mooloo has said her son and his gf are still paying rent on the property they have had to leave. She is housing them because they are at risk if they go back.

    If you are going to get on your high horse about Mooloo's posts at least get what you are saying correct.

    So lets hope they don't bring trouble to your door . Your son needs to grow up and sort this out himself he is an adult with a family and needs to act like one not run to mummy every time there is a problem . Whilst you mollycoddle him he will never learn how to be one Remember whilst you are making demands of re housing etc they made this mess they are in

    This is just plain nasty. Have you ever been in a situation where you have drug dealers threatening you? Threatening to firebomb your flat? Poison your pets. Shouting abuse at you in the street?

    I have, over a long period of time and I am older than Mooloos son was when all this started for me and other people in this area. Telling people to grow up when they are on the receiving end of a vendetta really is not called for.

    Im not an ex drug user, I never bought drugs from these people and neither did many people who they targeted. But whatever the situation no one deserves to be at risk and simply telling someone to grow up does not sort out other people's lunatic behaviour.

    You are one nasty person. Mooloos son and his gf are clearly vulnerable and yes they have made poor choices but that is life.

    Why did you come on here? Just to put the boot in. Job done. Jog off now.

    Yes we have my son was bullied due to being different with aspergers our windows egged and stoned and our cars vandalised with paint stripper beyond repair so yes in answer to your question but we stayed where we were and dealt with it . so dont assume you know it all and guess what its an open forum so i will continue to post and read i won't be bullied for speaking my mind wether you agree or not is your prerogative

    You made a number of comments about Mooloos son and his GF that were not factually correct. Like you assumed they were getting free money and free housing. They both work. They are paying rent on their property even though they cant live there. Mooloo has said the house has had to be boarded up incase it is firebombed but you want them to go back home and deal with it. How? How do you deal with violent drug dealers who might firebomb your home?

    This is actually one of the most pleasant threads on here. You've just jumped on it to give Mooloo a hard time when she needs it least.

    Would you prefer I made them go back home to their house and let them be murdered and raped? Because the police have advised that they don't return.
    The firebrigade has changed the front door so they can't be firebombed.!!!!

    No one is bullying you. Just pointing out that you are being unnecessarily horrible to someone who has quite enough on their plate just now.

    You obviously didn't read it all properly my one child of three who i run around after has aspergers and is running his own business to facilitate his independence to a certain degree i am happy to do that for him i dont see that as mollycoddling just allowing him some quality and purpose to his life. As for the dog the facial and massage they are part of the package of her £20 every other monthly groom .you can have your opinion and i dont have a problem with that but i am just supplying you with the full facts

    Of course I only know the bits I have read and you have done exactly as predicted and jumped to defend your lifestyle just as Mooloo does.

    You choose to ignore my comment about you not working and having a husband that does while others are alone and working many hours to put bread on the table for themselves and others.

    It is clear to see that you believe it is OK to put yourself out for a child that has Asperger but not Ok to help out a child with drug and alcohol problems. I cannot see the difference but I guess the drug and alcohol issue are a less ‘middle class’ problem.

    I am happy you have your comfortable life, with a dog that is pampered more than many children but suggest you think more carefully about criticising those who are less comfortable.

    NO one has bullied you, they have replied to your comments. Some of your comments are quite short sighted and unpleasant but I do agree you have a right to post them. But, do not pull out the bullying card when peoplereply to them.

    If you read it properly you would know i have followed this from the very beginning when Mooloo had all her family living with her more than 6 years ago anyhoo i will keep reading and not jog off as you so kindly phrased it and to be honest with an attitude like yours i am not surprised you have had issues

    Is that right? Because I don't like the way you post on here I (and a lot of other people in my area), deserved to be targeted by the most anti social family in my area. Threats. Threats to bomb my flat, threats to poison my pets. Abuse in the street. Rocks thrown at my head from a three storey window? I'll tell you what I did to these people. Zero. I ended up ill over it all. I only got peace when they moved a few years ago. And one of this girls sons ended up being stabbed to death in a brawl. Both of them were constantly in and out of prison. They had major anger issues. Do not bother telling me about issues due to my attitude when I was dealing with people with severe anger issues and who were violent with it. No one deserves to be on the receiving end of extreme anti social behaviour. Lets see how you cope if that happened to you, see if you think you did anything to deserve it.

    You are seriously suggesting that because you do not like the way I posted to you that I (and many other people), deserved to be targeted by an extremely anti social family. Sound the irony klaxon. Accuses other people of making judgemental comments to you but isn't averse to throwing out a few of her own.

    It is irrelevant how long you have been following Mooloos story. You are just trolling for the sake of it now. Talk about nasty. Mooloo has already put you on ignore due to your nasty rotten comments and other people will be doing the same soon I am sure.

    I have one final thing to add then I leaving for a while as usual.

    Mooloo is a talented seamstress. I have purchased one things from her though I don’t know her personally. All have been beautifully made and dispatched on time.

    Mooloo is managing alone, she is not supported by a spouse or partner and has the unenviable task of making decisions unsupported.

    Mooloo chooses to put her life out there on the net, it is apparently cathartic for her and as such she should expect to get criticism as well as praise.

    We would not all make the same decisions as Mooloo but it’s not our life. We would not choose to have grandchildren that are adopted or in care but nor would Mooloo but it’s her life and for some other people it’s useful to know that life does go on.

    I do not think she should have to explain her life to others and I hope she continues to find support here despite the occasional swipe from a few people.
