i agree !

not so much me paying taxes and stuff but my parents do and it really annoys me that these people are getting the money that my parents work for just because they have 20 or so kids !

so when people say that how many kids these people has isn't our buissness , yeah it is !

I agree with your point there Jonno in some ways.

They may be taking £6k a year off the Govt but I gather he was working so he was contributing to the coffers. How about teenage girls having kids so they can get a flat and money (you may want to have a go at me here but I work for a housing association and know this as fact).

I have paid my taxes but I have also cost taxpayer's money - does that make me bad?

Sure it can be seen as irresposible having so many kids but they all looked happy and healthy. How can you decide what is a fair limit of children for one family to have?

My mum now has 4 children aged 24(me), 14, 12 & 10 but my mum & stepdad both work to support them. When i was younger it was me and my mum obnly for 10 years and at points she wouldnt eat just so that I could and now she feels guilty for giving my younger brother's a better childhood than i had. I ust add that she had the snip after the 4th boy. Wonder why

But on wife swap once there was this huge family once again where i think both parents didnt work or soemthign along those lines and they recieved more money than a family who had worked extremely hard for their money
