I was a single mum for years, I started to work when my son was 4, I was better off working then on benefits ( my parents watched my son) 3 kids later im still working ( part time now and partner full time) some people just don't want to work and sponge off the benefits! Take manly for an example he had no reason not to work! He's spends enough times in his car or on the street 🙄

I thought London was in tier 4? Dylan and reeana are there 😒

Me, a single parent, reading this thread currently having to rely on the 'system'. Definitely DO NOT have a nice new TV and have been on the waiting list for a house for 4 years.💀👀

Living on benefits is not a great luxury that some people make out it is. Yes I get to take my little one to school every day but the negatives strongly outweigh the positives. Plus the STIGMA. 😭

Edited to add: I am starting work soon and moving onward with life now. I used to have these warped perceptions of people on benefits but it totally changes once you are in it yourself.

Awwwww sorry if u felt I was directly pointing this at u as I wasn’t. I think some people know how to play the “system” and throw the mental health card far too often so, there for, get a few hundred on top of benefits. I can’t tell u the amount of mothers treatments I have done in my career that live the life of Riley but moan to me how bad they have it when clearly they are very bone idle! Like now in covid, I’m worried to death I’m gonna have no clients to go back to after this 3rd lockdown and yet their lives won’t change! Like I said before, I havent been proven any different so far in over 20 years so sorry to generalise! The only women that do are the ones that have saved for their birthdays/holidays/Christmas to have a treat of their nails being done, yet they still feel incredibly guilty and also WORK?? 😔

Of course I didn't think you were directly pointing it at me, you wouldn't have known haha! I'm just saying as a person who has came of a very similar opinion as you, mines was 'How can that person on benefits afford X,Y & Z and here I am working full time and can't afford it. OR How is it fair they get to take their child to school every day when hardworking parents have to miss out on that. Your opinion totally changes when you find yourself having to rely on the system... at least it did for me. So trust me, I get what you are saying but just letting you know it ain't as cushy as some make it out to be. All the best with your business during these scary times! 🥰

You’ve got this 👏🏻 No stigma or judgment from me just the utmost respect for you and those like you x

This! I hate judgement from people towards those on benefits. I’m a registered nurse but my partner is the one working at the minute and I stay at home with the kids because we are financially better off that way, my entire wage would have gone on childcare. There’s no incentive for single mums to work

I will be the same when I have a child. I want to stay working but childcare will take up 90% of my wages. Then to add the living expenses on top, it’s just unliveable for me. I will work 16 hours. I will go back full time once our kid is at school. I would certainly go back and not claim if childcare was less expensive and unlike others, I don’t believe that having a family should be exclusive to middle class and above (for the “don’t have a child if you can’t afford it” brigade).
 
Did anyone see Sassi all dressed up and out a a NYE house party? 😡 Not giving a damn about anyone else’s health and safety, f@cking selfish excuse for a mother!!!! Sorry but after losing my father in law to Covid a couple of months ago, and other close friends with relatives in intensive care, I don’t have a single ounce of respect left for anyone who behaves like that, especially so blatantly!!! 😡

I have no doubt at all that Charlie would’ve done this to get a reaction from Shannon and it’s his way of still being able to control how she feels. The best thing she can do is not react at all, however difficult that is. By getting angry and upset it plays right into his hands and gets the reaction he so desperately wants.

Ordinarily haircuts should not be an issue between people co parenting but that is not that game that abusive men play. I feel for Shannon because she has to deal with this for many years to come and she was too short sighted to see this when she decided to have children with him.

Completely agree. He’s so abusive and controlling he’ll do anything to get one up her. Not to even keep a lock of hair and not to even mention it. He did it right before he took him back to Shannon. Just to upset her and want her reaction. He’s an awful little boy, but she’s got much more of things like this happening. Abusive people don’t change!

Just taken a look at Charlie Instagram. He’s not half full of himself for someone who looks like they stink of nicotine and weed. Not as attractive as he clearly thinks he is and definitely was punching with Shannon

Actually think he's really not good looking at all and yeah he definitely let Shannon go who was way above him in looks and personality!

Also really don't get why or how reeanne and Dylan are in the middle of London .

I agree he was a tosser but also don’t think she was perfect! When she threw that drink at him on holiday I thought that was really disgusting and if that had been the other way round it would have been a much bigger issue! I think they both lacked a lot of maturity but hopefully now they’re not together things are better. I find it really shocking that he only sees the boys every other weekend though! That’s really poor IMO.

It may depend on the area,where i am from every other weekend is normal contact for separated parents with young children

I totally get what you mean totally it drives me mad and then theres me and my partner who I lost my job during the pandemic and because we own our own house were not entitled to any housing benefit and then my husband earnt too much for me to get anything but he is still only on minimum wage so I don't understand how so many people seem to have enough money for all these things when they are on benefits!

Those Turkey Teef you’ll need to have to go back in 10 years because they’re so destructive. You wouldn’t be able to pay for it in this country because they destroy perfectly normal teeth.
How MTV can stand by the likes of Sassi & Megan when they have clearly broken rules is baffling to me

I agree but I wonder if they have scrapped the show now anyway so don't care? No signs of it coming back unless I have missed something
