another baby

I think it is well known that this planet is overcrowded. It doesn’t matter if people have more than two children or have families they can’t afford. What matters is that there are too many of us and our planet is being ruined. David Attenborough is, I believe, involved in a UN organisation concerned with encouraging people to have fewer children. Perhaps we should all look into it.

And your point is, FoghornLeghorn ?

Seems we are returning to the the "good old days' when the Empire & Brtiain were great

And reading the unexpected pregnancy thread lots of gransnetters including myself have behaved in exactly the same way. Perhaps reading it will encourage people to have some empathy.

I don't think anyone can honestly say that someone who has to use a food bank or any other form of social help are doing nothing to help themselves.

There may well be some who do nothing, but most people try very hard to get a job and support themselves.

It is very hard to get work these days and being told by those who have work that they resent their taxes being used to help the unfortunate cannot make their lives easier,

OP, do you know for certain that the fourth child was conceived after the parents became unemployed?
