Unemployed Couple With Seven Kids Want More

family of seven

A mother who has had seven children since she first fell pregnant at the age of 15, has revealed that she gets state handouts of £500 a week.

Susie Christian shocked her family when she first became pregnant, announcing that she wanted another seven children. True to her word, the 24-year-old is now planning her eighth child with husband Dax, 25.

As neither of the couple works, they enjoy child tax credits and child benefits of £24,000 a year to support their ever-increasing brood.

Mrs Christian said: ‘We always wanted lots of babies and we only take what we are entitled to. ‘I would love to work but I don’t have time. Dax can’t because he has arthritis.

Sometimes I’m not sure what I think of these people who continually have children, yeah great if that’s your barrel, but how are you going to provide for these expensive little creatures! Oh wait a minute benefits of course!

Unfortunately as soon as these stories are in the public domain we automatically think, well I do, lazy gits – don’t want to or need to work because we make it too easy for them not too. What happened to to law being reinforced whereby women have to seek work when their child or children are a certain age.
