    Sue telling her children that school was useless while she’s been on government benefits for decades was probably the least self-aware statement I’ve ever heard. I feel so bad for her children, because unless someone else mentors them, they’ll end up exactly like her.

    • @frankvonfrauner
      @frankvonfrauner 2 роки тому +20

      She's convinced that life can't be better than being on benefits. Pushing that belief on her children justifies her decision.

      In Britain "benefits," for who, is generational. Those who have a job pay for those who don't have one. No requirements you are to get training, learn skills, work in government work projects, to give people a sense of achievement and learning, before they get support (money). How the Nation has lasted this long is unimaginable. All rich countries have failed to solve poverty in their own country but Britain really out does all the others. These people are capable of contributing to their country but contribute nothing because the government only throws money at the problem not a solution.

      She’s the one I have zero sympathy for. Six kids from five different fathers? The people who have to slog their guts out working 8, 10 or 12 hour days and nights to provide for themselves and their loved ones are the ones I sympathise with. They have to watch as Madame Clairvoyant eats up their tax money while giving her kids sage advice like “you don’t need a education”. She needs to get off her arse, get a job and have some self respect.

      Many years ago i left my ex husband and took my 3 kids with me and was unemployed at that time and was on unemployment i never ever had an empty fridge. Children were always fed and dressed. If he can not arrange his budget to feed one child he should not be allowed to take care of that child. This beautiful girl could be adopted by childless couple who would provide a decent life style for her.

      @@bambinaforever1402 Notice how you said "many years ago". Money has changed drastically even in the last 10 years, rents are sky high and benefits pay pennies. Most people cannot live on what they are given, and if you get a job they cut you off the benefits. It is a vicious cycle. Very cruel of you to say something like "adopt her out" to a father who is clearly loving and has her best interests at heart. Disgusting, really.

      Hi Nicole...
      Many years ago....1960 I think...my family and I (Very Royal!) emigrated to Australia... I was 7-ish..I guess, I loved it there...
      But we were very poor initially......there was not the job my Dad was promised...and we struggled for the first year.
      We lived in a garage that my Dad floor boarded out to make a living space.... but we made do...and we were happy.
      Our neighbours were great, and, as kids, we loved it.
      It would never have occurred to my parents to ask for State Help or benefits...they came to Australia to help Oz grow.
      It seems to me that that far too many simply believe that the State is the sole provider... of all things....This is unsustainable.
      As the UK is now realising, far too late. As thousands arrive one their shores ... the rejections of France and Europe.
      There will be detractors to my comments....
      Well, I give you the classic two fingers. Not the Churchill man of Victory signal....quite the reverse. Take it or leave it.

    The best thing that YOU as a parent can give your kids is their independence.
    To do that, you have to encourage them to use manners (especially at the dinner table), stand tall, be proud and get an education. Teach them some common sense and respect.
    Plenty of people have done it in the past under much more extreme circumstances.
    History does repeat OVER and OVER but unfortunately, in a lot of families, instead of ensuring that your next generation is a bit better off, the parents are the children and making their youngsters life a misery.

There are people still living like that in eastern KY. I finally found a. 2 bedroom with at least water. Cold but inside water. Still an outhouse. I met a man and we married. I sent him to school and supported him while he went. He raised my children and we had 2 of our own. We are now divorced after our children were grown. His children weren't raised that way. We moved to Georgia shortly after our son was born and we're married 30 years. I stayed single and he remarried. He's now raising our granddaughter. Life 7s tough.

      Yeah I noticed that. My sister had a similar cyst right on top of her eyelid when she was in her teens it was really big. Mum took her to the hospital and they removed it, she only had to stay in hopital for a day or two. She was very self conscious of it plus I think it may have effected her eyesight as she got older. When they took it out they found it was a ball of skin and hair which they said over time may have increased in size. It really was a minor surgery, the scar can't be seen as they made the cut, right on the crease at the top of her eyelid. No ongoing issues.👍

      The cyst wouldn't be a big issue if she has it dealt with sooner than later.

      The UK has free healthcare so I assume she just hasn’t bothered getting it fixed

    There’s lots of reasons someone might end up with government benefits. A teenager might have been told that having a baby will change the rest of their life but they are young and have no experience with ‘lifetime consequences’ like us older people. They are going to end up in situations that are not advantageous for their young age. Aside from youthful mistakes, there are situations such as job loss, illness, mental illness, one mate having an alcohol or drug addiction, one mate or someone having severe PTSD from military experiences or trauma, natural disasters, marriage breakup, severe accidents, death of a mate, lack of jobs, lack of being able to get more education. All these things contribute to needing benefits. It’s unfair to lump the truly needy in with those who just don’t want to be self sufficient. Being in poverty is hard, people judge you, think you are uneducated, judge that someone is lazy, etc etc. From having lived in poverty in my youth I learned a lot: How to not waste food. I lived with the empty fridge and learned at an early age that the milk needed to be saved for my little sister. (My dad was mentally unable to cope from several tours in Korea. He was an MIA dad. ) poverty taught me that if I didn’t have clothes, I could make my own or reconstruct clothes. I learned it’s better to buy a quality product that lasts for years instead of rebuying cheap stuff. I learned that I could save money by styling my own hair, making my own jewelry, creating my own art. I save money because I don’t need or want every new fancy super fragranced cleaning product, or every new cosmetic, or idiotic style created to take my money. It’s sad that junk food is so inexpensive but healthy vegetables etc are priced for only the wealthy.

    Why are they all smokers? They find money for cigarettes, but can’t afford anything else. She could have had the 40 dollars easily, if she wasn’t paying for cigarettes. Priorities people, priorities.

    Interesting that nearly all of the benefits people can afford to smoke, although they can’t afford food,rent,electricity etc.
