it isn’t about good eggs or bad eggs though.

it’s ingrained cultural differences.

a migrant might be lovely, polite etc. They might be a good egg but ultimately believe that women should be home makers because that’s the norm in their country of origin, that women shouldn’t walk around alone at night and that men and women shouldn’t live together before marriage. This view will likely be inherited to an extent by their children and maybe even their grandchildren. And they will become voters in all likelihood.

that’s a pretty huge contrast to the view women have been fighting for, for themselves for a long time in the U.K.

I use to rent a house next to a south asian family who had 3 kids over 30 living in a tiny three bed semi becuase none of them were married.

I understand the culture but the house was no where near big enough to have 5 adults living in it.

Having a baby with a bloke who won't marry you is a stupid, irresponsible idea.
Or having kids with a man who is useless then spending 18 years moaning about how useless he is. Writing was on the wall.

NOTE. If Niether of you want to be married that's not a problem.

Also, if you sleep with a married man you deserve to be cheated on. 😐

She never said you couldn't. Stop reaching for racism where there is none.

If there’s no racism or at least xenophobia, why mention that they’re immigrants? It’s not a reach at all. Don’t try to dictate to me what I post on a public forum, thanks.

Due to the difficulties getting on to the housing ladder, plenty of families have adult children living at home into their 30s. It’s not unusual.
 
To be fair, she was making an observation about how the culture meant they were all living at home because they weren't married. It was relevant to what someone else said. She never even brought up the bins until asked by someone else how many people living together in a house that wasn't big enough for 5 people impacted her!

It is often a fact that families from non white British culture tend to have larger amounts of people living at home than you often see here. So it isn't a surprise that it stands as a cultural shock for some people, because it's simply not what they are used to. That isn't racism.

Please read posts above rather than jumping down my throat looking for arguments when there is no reason for it. You are dictating what i post on a public forum and being very slanderous .
 
People who have ivf & have triplets or quads etc should not just get freebies galore! Should not expect to be social media influencers who get everything they ask for & more. Just because you have multiple kids does not mean you sell them for your own gain! You choose to have them! Support your family yourself! Stop exploiting your kids for your own greed!
