On Benefits, Life On The Dole.

Where do they get these people?
Teenager says I've always wanted a baby, it would be like having another dog!
What????

[douglas9401]

Haven't seen it so can't comment on the content but I imagine that making a baby with said teen would also be like having another dog.

[Caran]

She has never worked properly, lives in a state funded flat. How can they think of having a baby when they are on benefits!?
Now that's a stupid question isn't it. She would get a lot more benefits if she had a baby instead of another dog!

[silliemillie]

Oh she did agree it would be a little harder! LOL!!

[NoMercy]

I do think it's largely how they're brought up.

[rockyracoon]

I think it's to do with a mixture of things. Poor education, poor role models and no expectation of being able to do better.

[ummmm]

You find a lot of unloved teen girls want a baby so they have something to lovev. They obviously don't realise the 24/7 aspect of it.

They might get more benefits but they are unlikely to barely cover the costs of a baby.

[Old_Geezer]

Oh I don't know. You could give it it's own bowl. Put it in a lead. And it'd poop everywhere. You could even get it a nice little coat to wear.

[aelmpvw]

i wonder if the government will cover the cost of microchipping the dog?

[ToraToraTora]

on a similar progra the other week one of them said to his mate, he'd like to buy a house, would I need a job for that? Really!

You can find people like this in most Towns, and Ch5 seem to find them, as they are cheap to make, but these kind of programmes are getting a bit boring now, and past their view by date!

[pusskin]

I saw that programme too Sarah! Cóuldnt believe what that young girl said.
unbelievable, hope she doesn't get pregnant until she grows up a bit more!
