While I do sympathise with her situation, I saw an apple watch, a fairly new iPhone, professionally applied acrylic nails, professionally maintained eyebrows, dyed hair, lots of tattoos and pets...none of which are essential spending (not to mention she was expecting a delivery when she got the baliff letter). While forgoing these may not give her all the money she needs the fact she is spending on them while on the brink of homelessness suggests to me she's not exactly being careful with the money she does have, at least based on what this clip shows.
Couldnt agree more
Totally agree, she is the kind of person who if she won $100,000, it would be gone in a month.
Agreed then blames the landlord for not housing her for free. If it was me it'd be food, baby/dog essentials and doing any at home work I can extra.
I was thinking the same but on the other hand, she may have acquired 90% of those items while she was working and the documentary more than likely provides hair and makeup.
Everyone is 2 paychecks away from being like this. 2. She could of had those things 2 years ago for all you know.
The cheapest hair dye is like £2-4 for red.
You need a phone these days. You can't go and buy one of those cheap old phones with no app capabilities on them. My sister needs a phone to do anything with her children's schools. The drs have an app ffs.
I can't go and make a drs appointment without my phone.
Salute to the guy who had 2 kids with her and is nowhere in the picture.
there are different dads actually
@@user-hv5so6qz9z lovely to see chav values are being practised lol
Lol blaming men for women's choices 😂😂😂😂 clown
all they know is how to have fun and make babies and get all for free. its practice all over uk. they just want us to feel bad and sad for them.
@@MishMash22 just factual. There are consequences to actions.
The fact that there is already an excessive amount of demand awaiting its absorption, despite how everyone is frightened and calling the crash, is another reason why it is less likely to occur that way. 2008 saw no one, at least not the broad public, making this forecast, as I'll explain below. The ownership rate was noted to have peaked in 2004 in the other comment. Having previously peaked in the second quarter of 2020, we are currently at the median level. Between 2008 and 2012, it dropped by 3%, and by the second quarter of 2020, it had dropped from 68 to 65.
Investing in both real estate and stocks can be prudent choices, particularly when backed by a robust trading strategy that can navigate you through prosperous periods.
You're not doing anything wrong; the problem is that you don't have the knowledge needed to succeed in a challenging market. Only highly qualified professionals who had to experience the 2008 financial crisis could hope to earn a high salary in these challenging conditions.
@@TomD226 Recently, I've been considering the possibility of speaking with consultants. I need guidance because I'm an adult, but I'm not sure if their services would be all that helpful.
Actually, I'm not sure if I'm allowed to mention this, but I'd recommend looking up Vivian Carol Gioia because she was a big deal in 2020. She manages my portfolio and serves as both my coach and my manager.
Thanks for clearing that up, I curiously searched for Vivian Carol Gioia on the internet and thankfully, I came across her my goal is to retire in 5years time.
canada goose jacket, tattoos, dog, car, iphone 13 pro max, apple watch, make up, pedicure, hairstyling, jewelry yeah probs from the government giving child support money into all these...the system is truly broken
i don’t do pedi mani even if i work 12 hours… to save and invest for a better flat… only keep a minimal makeup and clean look… just to get by…
i feel like she won’t be able to provide what her children need well if she keeps spending money on those superficial stuff…..
She worked her whole life up until her maternity leave.
oh my ! that's what I want to ask !!!
@@nunnunnunyabizzie2345 What's your point? Sure, it's all guess work in regards to when or for what money she obtained that stuff. Fact is, she makes one horrible decision after another, from the designer goods and services she chooses to enjoy (while deciding not to save up in spite of having kids), to the man she allowed to empty himself inside her (obviously he is not around). She is absolutely not a responsible person.
@@nunnunnunyabizzie2345 should've had an emergency fund instead of a £900 jacket.
If she was a single parent how did she manage to get pregnant again?
Where is her father? She probably didn’t have him in the home. If she did maybe she wouldn’t have gotten pregnant but it seems like a psycho seems like she was from a single mother and now she became a single mother and that’s the cycle. Shame has morals anymore Lord have mercy on us.
Miracle I guess.
£900 canada goose jacket , make up , hair ,nails , tattoos , car , babies.
but cant afford rent ?
and its upto the tax payer to bail her out.
thats the problem with this country.
Sometimes it’s not all about paying rent, I just got a new car and 2 days later my landlord lands with an eviction letter due to the increased interest rates and he wants a buyer instead of renting, we didn’t get offered an increase of rent, so I still walk around with my £5,000 car and my full time job and my newer iphone and tattoos and piercings but I am ending up in temporary accommodation with my mum that’s likely to be a hotel room unless a miracle happens due to the lack of rental space and living expenses, never judge by someone’s appearance on everything they are going through or have
@@erinkelly3018
perhaps the 5 grand on the car, money spent on tattooes , iphones etc could have gobe to taking steps to safeguard your future in regards to living arrangements?
i suppose we just think differently and live different.
Did you even watch the video?
She had never had a council house, is on maternity leave and had to pay 3k for her mothers funeral.
No,the problem with this country is all the migrants coming here and being given priority.
I'm sorry, but it's hard to work 60 hours a week and make the decision to put off having a dog (which I would so dearly love to do) and having kids because all I can afford is a 1 bedroom, just to see other people get it all handed to them with my tax money. For her to think she's entitled to nothing less than a pet friendly 2 bedroom in the location of her choice while I literally have a graduate degree and work 60 hours a week and can't afford such luxuries is asinine.
Did you end up doing one of them pointless mickey mouse degree's?
more fool you
gtfo the UK
it's finished
It sounds like you're making good choices, and those tend to pay off, if we persevere.
@@danielcunningham6727 like medicine?
exactly
She's massively irresponsible.
You’re massively privileged.
She belongs to the streets.
@deadeyes4626 Most people are massively privileged by not making over and over again stupid choices like she does. She lives in a western nation and destroyed her life by getting pregnant early in life, twice with someone who wants nothing to do with her. Then acts like a spoiled brat that she should also have a dog friendly house, must be near. She is acting spoiled.
If this is the level of maturity she shows then for the rest of her life she will be a burden on the tax payers because she still acts like a 10-year-old child.
So are the males that got her pregnant
Are people really not understanding how it's possible to not afford to live? Let's break down some costs:rent £1100, council tax £150, Energy Bills:£200, food £300, mobile phone £15 - grant total £1615. This is a conservative estimate so you need a salary of £27k. The UK average salary is £30k, meaning half the population earn below that.
This is not right...rent of 1,100...thats expensive even in London. Rent is about 500 fpr a decent place if you love woth people. Expenses should be under £1000 if you're sensible. Im a single person, and I pay about that.
@@morpheus1586 you probably rent a room in an old house. If you have kids, you need rent a 1 bed at the very least.
@Abu Maalik Maybe the solution then is have kids with 2 parents?
@@morpheus1586 don't be simple. I'm in a two bedroom 2nd floor flat with no garden. It's £875 a month.
@Madonnalitta1 I've had a two bedroom flat in Derby at a single person, and it was £550. It was nice as well...newly refurbished. Where are you lot living?..London?.how about shop around or move cities or towns. It's not like these single mothers have jobs to go to. Rather than living in a big city...maybe simple is the way 🤷
There are key lessons to take away from this:
1) Choose your partner using reasonable criteria before having one or more babies, not because of butterflies. Get commitment first and treat and respect your partner. There is a reason why families made up of older and wiser individuals used to be active in the selection process of an appropriate husband as well as guaranteeing that the bride was raised properly and well-behaved. Some might not like this type of guidance but the alternative is broken homes and broken single moms and therefore broken children too.
2) Don't "follow your passion" with a personal trainer job, if you're the sole provider for your kids you need to go for something that's well-paid and stable, your feelings come second at that point.
3) If you're on your own, always keep enough cash in hand before getting comfortable with personal spending and if you can't use a credit card and pay it off every month to at least have access to credit if needed
4) If you get a council house that fast and at everyone else's expense, be grateful, like VERY grateful. The fact that she was picky about the couch or the location of the accommodation is already a red flag that she struggles with entitlement, which likely affected her relationships too.
5) Nothing will change until it becomes less socially acceptable to willingly make so many bad choices which also harm the kids. Shame is a good thing, we need more of that. Because social stigma it is a deterrent for bad behavior, as opposed to giving sympathy, and attention, and subsidizing the behavior to shelter the person from the consequences of their actions.
The homelessness among the working is on the rise as well, which means even in working families they can't even afford to rent out a property. That's an issue with the housing market and the fact that the Rich Tycoons and Government Officials who invest their wealth into the property market make a fortune while raising housing prices whenever they feel like it with no real care about people who just want a house to live in. This government has been failing us for many years now and it's really time people voted out the Tories and Labour so we can maybe have a fresh perspective rather than ones that only care about themselves.
I agree with most of what you say, except for following your passion. that is important.
@@kriskalpa Following your passion is very important until you need to provide for your children. I have no kids and I am trying to follow my dream of becoming a writer while I work full time in a hotel (not intending to stay long term) and I have gotten a master´s degree to try and secure my future. Nobody from my family can help me and I live in the UK, but all my family is in a different country. If I had children I would still write in my free time, for sure, but I wouldn't rely on that to feed my kids.
That first point is ABSOLUTELY TRUE. Im a single mom too. God bless you all who are struggling too. We will get thru this, better days to come❤
She has a new born baby and she's a single Mother. I think this could be her main life problem.
Where's the Father/Fathers of her children?
Tattoos, dyed hair, nice nails, new phone, Apple watch, new furniture AND a dog and popped out TWO children. No father in sight. My goodness gracious.
Don't Judge, because it could be you that would end up in that situation, she worked before so yes she could afford those things, what do you want her to do shave her hair off and sell her dog and all of her things to look more homeless for you?
She could got these things/item way before she run into troubles, but, I admit, having one child and then decide to have another, when your personal situation is rather difficult, doesn't scream 'responsibility'. Nonetheless, my question is, why having two kids, she is not entitled or receiving child support from father (fathers?) of her children? Why they are not contributing? Or did I missed something?
Clearly , a "planned" future was low on the list of priorities.
Ya cannot fix stupid
@@lifeofsophiamariYes, I'll buy the dog and I also want those lovely nails of hers.
Considering the instability of her childhood, Dawn is doing well in trying to give her children what she lacked. God bless her and her precious children.
Idk I literally got taken from my mother age 9 and haven’t seen her since. Me and my siblings were neglected, malnourished and mentally abused. Then life was my father was as bad or worse. Age 16 homeless. Now at 24 I have a wife , a son and a great house in Lillehammer aswell as a cabin in a nearby mountain for skiing , relaxing weekends etc I worked hard. My sister on the other hand is like Dawn stuck in England asking for handouts.
She's a single mum with 2 kids, bitching she has no money whilst on Maternity Leave.
She's made a lot of mistakes to get there, but they were her choices. Taxpayer should not fund people's bad choices, sorry.
@@duderock10111 We're already there but think of the children. They should not suffer because of their parents lackings.
@@Tekillyah why? I need someone to flip my maccy burgers, and it ain't gunna be the dude with a PHD. It's gunna be the dude who couldn't go to school because his mum couldn't afford shit.
@@duderock10111Actually even graduates are working in fast food places as they can’t find a job in their field
There's a lot to ponder here. How did she end up with two children and no partner? After the first, how did she get pregnant again? Then there is the idealistic thinking (I need at least two bedrooms) as though she is owed not simply accommodation, but ideal accommodation. And finally, when she was offered as place, she turned it down and moved to a different county.
Then we have the underlying issues of expectation. Back in the 1950's and 1960's, it was common to live in social housing. You rented from the Council and were good to go. There was lots of stock, and you could pick and choose. In 2023, people still think this is the case. It's not. Thatcher's Right to Buy decimated social housing. In short, there are not enough properties out there. If you're going to the Council, you can't expect much these days, and don't expect to be able to pick and choose.
As for private renting, it's a disgrace and is poorly regulated. From no-fault evictions to a complete lack of rent controls and onward to often poor maintenance, private renting is actually the worst kind for tenants. We need new laws put in place.
A complicated set of circumstances set off, largely, by the lady here having not one, but two children without a family foundation. She no doubt loves her kids, but she's clearly not able to take care of them, she really needed to think about the consequences before she arrived here. On the other hand, the system is not in her favor.
It's in the favour of the illegal immigrants isn't it though.
@@anthonytaylor3989 Illegal immigrants - the key word being "illegal", are not given social housing. Our government handles illegal immigration in a ridiculous manner, and have done for a long time. However, the root of the problem when it comes to housing isn't illegal immigration, it's housing policy - and frankly greed - that is inadequate and not fit for purpose. Illegal immigration is a lazy go-to.
You said it perfectly. I really do not understand women like this. Just keep having babies with no solid foundation. How sad.
This woman should be applauded for helping to prop up the native population numbers.
The housing crisis is due to the massive increase in the UK's population due to migrants.
@@MaterLacrymarum
"Illegal immigrants - the key word being "illegal", are not given social housing. "
- Well, they are as they just lie about who they are.
"However, the root of the problem when it comes to housing isn't illegal immigration, it's housing policy"
No, it's the UK's massive increase in population. (8.2 mil. +14% in 20 years. Even greater if you include '22 & '22 figures).
"Illegal immigration is a lazy go-to"
- Why ?
They illegally enter this country, with no ID, no background checks, claim asylum fraudulently the get treated like royalty when many of them go into crime or try to engage in underage sex &/or attack women.
Wake up.
She doesn't look like she's lacking.. no doubt a Boyfriend is lurking in the background somewhere. We need to be a lot tougher on the parent who isn't contributing either absent mum or dad.
Or better yet, don’t have a child with someone who won’t contribute🤷🏿♂️
In an ideal world ,but sometimes the absent parent is so broken that he cannot help himself nevermind anyone else.
The father/fathers of those kids should be made to pay for his kids-instead of the tax-payers.
@@susannah1066 why should thebfather have to pay any more than half for something that probably wasnt his decision
@@aaronmiles2802 You usually don't know that ahead of time.
The question that everyone should be asking - WHY did she have kids that she obviously can't afford? She isn't a victim. Just thinks that she deserves kids because she wants them and they're cute.
I agree but in fairness we used to have council houses for people like this woman.
We need children to ensure our future as a country.
It’s only right that we take care of each other in our down moments. In twenty years she may be a high level taxpayer, we have no idea what the future holds.
People like myself & some of my friends are passing on having children because we don’t have homes, and that’s a tragedy for the UK when millions of people do the same.
Exactly Dad needs to step up and tell her to sell the DOG!!!! Wtf?
@@wattbenj You need strong, educated children that are coming from solid families....More likely history will repeat with her children and you will pay for their welfare also...
The amount of people I know in the UK that have kids without even thinking twice because they know FULL WELL the bill we be picked up is honestly disgusting. One girl I know has 4 kids and a 3 story house all on the council. So glad I waited to a responsible age, with a partner I loved and stable income to have my first.
@@user-fl4vn9bm9r All facts. I live in the UK and know 4 people who have done this!
Great video! For 2023, it’s hard to nail down specific predictions for the housing market is because it’s not yet clear how quickly or how much the Federal Reserve can bring down inflation and borrowing costs without tanking buyer demand for everything from homes to cars.
You are right! I’ve diversified my $450K portfolio across various market with the aid of an investment coach, I have been able to generate a little bit above $830k in net profit across high dividend yield stocks, ETF and bonds.
I receive guidance from coach Margaret Johnson Arndt who possesses extensive financial market experience. While others may prefer different approaches, her strategy has proven successful for me, as evidenced by my results. Specifically, she offers valuable insight on entry and exit points for the securities that I concentrate on.
She's extremely lucky to get a council flat subsidized, the waiting list takes decades, men are automatically disqualified and never get approved, which is why you see so many homeless men
Men are not ‘disqualified’, priority is given to single parents because they have children with them! It isn’t a conspiracy against men! Otherwise, I agree. I don’t think this woman realises how fortunate she is to be offered anything. There are over 1 million households on the waiting list and the state is not building enough new stock.
This Us vs Them debate is not helpful. Single parents who are male get priority too.
@@gee_emm 10 percent of homeless people are women in london. shut up
@@gee_emm I think you'd find now in most cities it IS the case, however as this is an issue that clearly doesn't affect you, you wouldn't know. Single men are at bottom of the list that's if they manage to get on it at all and this isn't a "conspiracy" as well.
@@gee_emm wouldn’t that inherently disqualify men??
I know the rental market price has gone up, but if she can't afford it, she can't afford it. Also, why have a child when you're not financially stable? She put herself and her baby in this position

@AG-em3hu That's it isn't it circumstances aren't fixed and forever are they?
It’s not a human right to have a dog or children. It’s not a human right to have a 2 bedroom property. Ask the millions in Japan, asia and Europe living in small apartments. If you decide to have children and a dog - make sure you can feed and house those dependents on your on paycheck. If you can’t please don’t have them.
Adults need to understand - the government, taxpayers and society do not have to pay for your decisions.
Excactly- my parents bought 1 bedroom flat.We lived in that flat for 12 years ! I had 2 sisters and we shared the room together- my parents slept in the living room.
Well she has a job, she has a salary. She is on maternity leave. That's why she struggles.
Now I love Japan but people like you constantly put down people who are criticising the UK, well Europe and Japan are not in the UK. We are talking about that woman in the UK.
So if you want to be judgemental because you don't have a satisfying life, just don't compare apple with tomatoes.
The problem with our generation is that we have to pay the retirement of yours and you are calling us lazy while most of us will probably not have to possibility to be home owner without the parents bank.
You can't understand this because you still live in your head, 30 years ago.
Maybe it is time for your generation to just passed away.
Then we will be able to afford house, kids,... to pay for our retirement.
There's not enough housing 1.3 million entered this tiny island last year, too much demand and not enough housing, its not her fault, this is a serious problem Al over all over the UK
@@moosky7344 I agree. It’s happening in the major New Zealand 🇳🇿 cities. Lack of housing , lack of saving skills, impulsive decision making and you have a disaster
Is it a right to have your own country that houses you instead of foreigners?
My husband and I didn't have dogs until after we bought a house and we only had one kid. Even then [late 90's Australia] landlords were asking how many kids you had and no dogs. She wants it all-the dog, kids, bedrooms-all given to her. Entitled or what.
In south africa its also hard to rent a house with kids. Landlords prefer singles or married couple with no kid.
The dog came first so...she could have had an abortion honestly before the second if things are tough. Why not go for it? not everyone should be a parent.
The comments are absolutely awful. The three of you should be ashamed, you have zero idea of her situation. She could have been in a financially stable situation with the father who became abusive leading to her leaving the relationship, for the safety of her and her children. You have absolutely no idea what the back story is. There is a housing crisis and everyone no matter their circumstances deserves to have safe, suitable housing and food on the table. These are basic human rights, you shouldn’t have to abort a child because the system has failed us. Disgusting
@@racheljones8314 Safe birth control has been around for over 60 years-I think she has 2 kids by 2 different blokes + the dog. She turned down a place-did you even watch the video or just comment. As I said originally-marriage-house-then pets and kids. It's not rocket science-but maybe it is for entitled snowflakes-who expect it all handed to them.
@@susannah1066 if we all waited until we could afford to own a home and be married then the majority would have missed the boat to even become pregnant. And that’s the last thing we need when we have a baby shortage in the uk. Being a mother/father is a job in its self, they are raising the next generation of essential workers. There needs to be more incentive and encouragement for people to start families. The birth rate in the uk is declining. Your outlook only brings shame, guilt, and judgement to young people. Options aren’t there anymore like they were when you were younger.
I am similar age as her, but before buying car, having dog, getting a huge tattoo and having kids I saved money and bought an apartment. Well, different people have different priorities.
Agreed! Obviously there are some things out of our control, but having 2 kids as a single mother was just irresponsible
Kids is not a problem but broken marriage system
She is on maternity leave.
@@stephen9609 she clearly didn’t plan on being a single mum. We don’t know if her children have the same dad. But no one is blaming them when it takes 2 people to make a baby yet she is the only one who is bothering to raise them

Complaining never makes anything better.
Too many Fatherless homes in Western Countries. I wonder where all the Fathers went ?
Firstly, She is NOT ENTITLED to have a dog if the council or landlord does not allow it ... Secondly, a one bed flat is FAR BETTER than living on the street....Last but not least, where is the father of these kids....WHY make children if you dont have the means to support them?? 😮
Who knows, it might father's and not just father
She was the wrong person to do this story with because she comes across as very entitled. She was lucky to get offered a one-bedroom temporary accommodation and not a hostel. She was also lucky to be offered a property so quickly which doesn’t normally happen and then she turned it down to sofa surf with her two children, one a newborn 🤦🏾♀️complaining about the sofa bed just clean it. I’ve been through the homeless system it’s hell and you’re just so grateful for what you get.
She was purposefully brought to our attention to deflect from the main issue that is building more houses for people to afford. But too many companies, government officials interest are involved so we can not ever dream of having affordable housing. UA-cam videos adverts constantly showing about making money by property businesses. More people gets interested in one asset class that becomes more expensive. British Isles are only for rich Monarchs, Lords, MPs and Capitalists. We peasents are just numbers.
I absolutely agree, me and my family are still living in a temporary accommodation since 2019...and she gets a property that quick!!! I'm confused😕...
how you have a 2nd child thats a newborn? and both fathers are not there helping? or recieving his share of taking care of the baby?
Isn't it her fault she's had kids too ? When she's not in the right position for that if struggling financially. Saying that UK is a backwards economy society where it's geared towards the rich.
I don’t agree I don’t think she’s spoilt at all I feel incredibly sorry for her people don’t seem to understand what life is like with a new born this is a nightmare !
Wait. She has 2 healthy babies and her new place is not bad. She needs to get a litte bit more gratitude
People have to take responsibility to their own life. Period.
Someone knocked her up & doesn't even provide for the kids. That's the problem with society. Deadbeats.
Why is she offering it up knowing the possible outcome? She is absolutely the problem here.

Plenty of people do
Bang on mate
She’s on maternity leave idiot! Or can you not understand English? The eviction is due to a rent increase which she can’t afford. And if you’ve had people like this before as you say it’s most likely because you are a greedy landlord
She is doing well considering the foundation that she was built upon. Wish her the best❤
If you can't afford kids then don't have them.
A one bed apt is better than being homeless. This is your situation for now and you need to take whatever steps are necessary to get yourself out of it. Crying won’t change anything.
Remember that when you're at your lowest point.
Heartless.
@@Madonnalitta1 it’s not heartless and some people need to be told in a direct way to step to it instead of coddling them or them whining about it. It’s called tough love. I’ve been at my lowest.

She sounds like she seeing this as an opportunity to revaluate whats actually important in life, shes move to a support network with a newborn with emotional family ties.
That flat she turned down would go to someone else who possibly needs it just as much and wishes to be in that area, that sounds fair doesnt it?

Why does her having a baby have anything to do with the troubles we face in society today within the UK, We are literally heading towards a 3rd world country with a huge divide between people who have money and people who dont have money.

When my dad bought our first house it was possible on one wage. They did not take the wife’s earnings into consideration. How fortunate times were. What chance have young people got with no social housing or rent controls and even a basic home at a ludicrous price. Look at wages for the ordinary person.
I don’t know the circumstances of this woman but I notice a lot of people can only condem. This is disgusting. Some people inherit others are less fortunate. When people need a helping hand they should be given it.
Thing is circumstances can change for any of us at the drop of a hat!
It'd be really nice if everybody on Earth could have a guaranteed roof over their head. The amount of people who kill themselves because they can't afford to live anymore-- not because they're fundamentally unhappy, psychologically unstable people, but because they're stressed about very basic finances and survival issues-- must be a shocking, scandalous figure. Basic good quality, reasonably spacious housing designed by emotionally intelligent architects who care about humanities mental health in general should be available to all humans. I'm not talking about grotesque Soviet style communism with inhumane tower blocks of pokey little flats and I'm not talking about breeding entitlement and laziness in people, but there has got to be a better way for humans to organise their societies and build a civilisation...
@@user-finkwqs2gk2p People don't fight back. This era has shown me how gullible, malleable and dangerously tolerant humans are. They bend to everything, capitulate to everything.

It's incredible.
They don't anyone owning. The system has been slowly closing in to cause this
Dawn is a single mother in need of help. Is this a virgin birth? Is there no father in the picture? Why did she act irresponsibly and have a baby without marriage and with the same casualness that she paints her nails when rent is due? Some people inherit. I inherited - yes, I'm an inheritor - of my father's teachings. Do not play the lottery. Do not waste money. Do not have children until you are married. I inherited a sense of right and wrong. Too bad Dawn had no inheritance like mine. When I had a job, I saved money and invested as my boss advised. I lived within my means. I paid my rent on time all the time. When I was laid off, I had a large "inheritance" of my own savings. No out of wedlock children. No wasting money on buying things instead of paying rent. No crying I need a helping hand! I don't need a helping hand because I helped myself.
I have no words. I don’t feel sorry for her. She decided to sofa surf with a little kid, a dog and newborn?! Instead of just clean up and probably decorate the new apartment? Girl. Her decision making process is wild and this is why she is in the situation she is in now.
this is the state agencies, they fuelled this high rent market as they make 10/15% every month from every rented property, how they are allowed to do this is the question
Spot on! 💯
I totally agree!! She has planned her life and she wants to whine about!!!!
Don't feel sorry for her, shes going back home. Shes looked at what she wants to do and what she wants to provide for her kids and has seen that one door closing has opened another! Sofa surfing with family with a newborn will be better help (takes a village) than alone and uncertain, plus Wales is gorgeous! This looks like the start of a nice new beginning.
What family? She clearly has no father and never mentioned siblings. As to the village myth(created by the infamous Hillary Clinton who had ONE child raised by nannies, no village there) what a load of crap. You clearly drank all the Kool-Ade. Like the majority of the people in the UK any family she has will neither be able nor want to help her in perpetuity. They have their own problems as MOST of us who live in the real word, do. Why no open your home to her? Wouldn't that be nice and you could virtue signal together until the money inevitably, runs out. @@samantha-jaynechapman2950
This girl does not know hardship. That one bedroom would be luxury to some people.
This is not a good example. She is basically saying she can’t afford to live because she can’t work. Yet she chose to have 2 children, 1 very recently aswell. Maybe access your situation first before bringing kids into it. Additionally she has a dog, not only does it seem like she can’t afford to have yet another expense.. so should she have a dog? She is being picky with where she is being offered. No flat/got to be pet friendly. As a single mum myself, who would never put myself & my kids in such a reckless situation. I don’t sympathise with her, but fully feel sorry for her children.
Your baby had nowhere to go and you still had money to get your nails done😂😂
Why is she moaning about a half hour drive to school. Got a car. More than most.
Yeah I though that was odd 😂
Gas not cheap
That is unusual in Britain. Most people live in walking distance of their school. I had to catch a bus to my secondary school, but that was because it was a grammar school and had a wider catchment area. Unless you live in a rural area or chose a private school or get into a grammar school, it would be unusual to live that far from your school.
People need to realise it’s not a human right for the government to house you after you put YOURSELF in a terrible position I.e have kids, becoming a single parent etc 🤦♂️
Yet gov can find billions to pay contracts to buddies or pay for war,but house the homeless,feed the hungry ,well thats just not something they can afford,but expenses and private jets they can do!

In Germany throwing out a lone mum of at least one kid is not thinkable. We have very strong rights for renters, no chance for „landlords“.
Same here in Norway, although I from England (a very rough bit) so none of this surprises me.
@Phynne85 Yes that's true, but we have different tax systems. In Germany landlords pay lower taxes. In UK if we had these laws and the high taxes there would be no landlords.
@@DonnellOkafor Not irresponsible just dishonest....they want you to kick her out so she can apply for permanent, cheap/free accommodation...
@@elizabethhalasz361
Yes, in Germany you can basically steal properties. Eviction thieves can take years.
Phynne conveniently forgets to mention this results in much high rents for Germans (to cover costs of theft through rent arrears) and people who are so deep in debt from stealing properties that they can never live a normal life again.
Sure you can easily steal something like € 50K living in various stolen housing in Germany, but that debt doesn't go away. It can't be collected as long as you're scrounging benefits and protected by minimum wealth laws that protect from seizure BUT if you ever decided to start living, you get a job and you try to become financially stable it does become collectable.
So the soft German system can create people forever condemned to be on benefits because their debts make it so that there's no point to working.
No to mention the damages to smaller scale landlords who can be made bankrupt and lose their life savings to a single stealing tenant.
Early and quick evictions are more humanitarian in the long run.
Like Ireland and soon Scotland. England maybe will follow suit.

My question is: does this mum have aunts, uncles cousins, best friends that can help her.
Maybe they know her too well. They don't want the damn dog, they don't want the risk of a third pregnancy, they know her mother was nuts, she may never leave if they let her move in ... Why expect others to clean up her act? She did it to herself and then plays victim.
Something is better than nothing. I’d rather have a one bedroom apartment and then nowhere to sleep.
Good luck to her,I am an old granny now but I when I was young I divorced my alcoholic husband and ended up being evicted three times .People make judgements and put you down as if you're not going through enough,my children grew up to be amazing intelligent compassionate ,confident people with great careers .So don't worry Dawn ,your children will be your motivation and they will see what you do and there will be noone that loves you like them.All the best .

Hi there, did your alcoholic husband become alcoholic only after you married him? Would you have married an alcoholic and have kids with him putting your children at risk if there was no council house and benefits system involved?
She wouldn’t be homeless if she starts to realize what the priorities are: you don’t get to have acrylic nails, extension eye Lashes, hair color, smart watch, tattoos, newest iPhone model neither a pet when you are behind rent, she is putting everything above her first needs, she is at this place because of her wrong choices, Thats ALL.

As a parent the first priority should be there child's safety, and we know many cases where dogs flip out for no reason and can attack children. So for a parent getting rid of animal who propose a threat is a very wise decision to make
@@umm1894 The dog was not a safety hazard, just unwelcome at most council housing. I'm not a fan of people who throw out their dog/cat when a baby arrives. The animals are also your children, when you adopt them, you sign your name saying you'll take care of them for their short life. Imagine if she got rid of the kids and kept the dog! Seemed like a real well-behaved dog she brought up from puppyhood, I'd offer some pets and a treat if I had the chance.
@J Dub I hear you what you're are saying but you mentioned when people have children, they decide to get rid of there dogs. That's the decision which they made best for there safety of there child, so many cases where a dog does attach babies and young children for no reason.

I was wondering why/if the father wasn’t paying child support, if not, shouldn’t that be a priority before people are being evicted
Doesn’t the father have to help pay for the child and the child’s housing?
Child's father maybe dead, or out of work may be gone abroad or had mental breakdown maybe in hospital. Many reasons, why someone cannot support child, may even be married and already have family everything is possible, .

The obvious question is - where the hell are the baby daddies? It's idiotic to have a child with some loser and then complain that you never have any money etc. The choices made by these types of people is mind bogglingly insane. Modern British society is about having your kids first with random strangers and then looks to trap some poor bloke into becoming a 'father' to kids that don't mean anything to him. Gruesome behaviour.
where are they? they are pushed aside by the waves of feminism, generous benefits system for single parents, vindictiveness, etc.....Also, with an acrobatic jump over taxman, many of them are present and support their children and partners.
