Sue

16 kids
its time somebodys pom poms come off :-D :-D

lololol ouch :-0 :-D

Oh,,,

a stitch in time wont see 17...... ;-)

Oh ,thanks for the reminder :))

I hope I can get CH4 on my or son's tel cos hubby's watching the footie !
Maybe just S4C on son's ....I'm sure I can on mine...fingers crossed !

No way I could get my OH to watch this........But I will :-D

you think they would of cleaned up
before letting the TV company film

they didnt spend any of their familly allowance
on cleaning products to :-( :-(

The poor woman has probably given up :-0 :-0

Missed the beginning..Does Mr Sullivan work ?

I know Mohammed doesn't tho he has tried .

Still watching ,just asking in the ad break !

Yes he is a self employed joiner. I wish Mohammed would get his sweater washed :-0

Thank you **Anne**
Yes his sweater ...it's disgusting isn't it !

Well 2 was enough for me !

The Sullivan's seem to have some sort of system , whilst the Salimi's seem to be rather haphazard.

Bleeding eck I'd be haphazard with 11 children .

If you can financially support your family have however many you want , if you do have to rely on the taxpayer , I disagree with the statement ...to want more.!

Love children ...yes but support them yourself then !!
Many issues raised here. !

Watching as I type. How the hell
can he afford funfairs and minivans to museums on benefit??????

Hubby wouldn't watch it .

His mother was widowed when he was 11mths his bro was just over 2yrs and she only got by ,only with the help of her parents and her working full time...even after the boys left home.
The only trip he ever had was the Sunday school day trip in the summer.

Our friend really has total control over his kids doesn't he? I have no idea how he can afford 'educational' trips on benefits.

Yet another week of polar opposites in parenting skills.

I'd still stop child benefit after the first two kids.

I would go even further as to Child Benefit or what ever it is called now , whilst being limited to 2 children, I think it should be linked to the family 'working income'.

Do a family with 2 children on an income of £1k need Child Benefit . ?.
( £1K as an example ) as it stands they are entitled to it .

Can you imagine living next door!!!!

I've always thought that the state should only support the first two/three but in this world where the buck stops with everyone but yourself unless there is a tidal change in opinion/attitude this recklessness albeit unusual yet ultimately bloody harsh on the taxpayers will continue.

I'd have moved by now Muffy,

(with my neighbours their bleeding dog barking all hours when they are out is bad enough.)

Point taken , I guess it would be rather noisy with either family.

Children are noisy however well behaved, I live quite away from a ' very small junior school ' and it's like bedlam at playtime. If they lived next door and were playing ......!!

i dont see the need of a house being in that much mess just becouse you have 11 children

i also think that man was showing off becouse he was on camra

and ann im glad im not the only one that could see that his jumper needed a wash

Hubby asked if he had to SHOUT all the time. I agree re the neighbours but I'd rather have the larger, quieter family with a clean house next door.

I am looking forward to the next two programmes
:-D
