    http://www.limerickleader.ie/news/local/limerick-s-serinna-in-despair-over-home-for-kids-1-3764536

    I know this was already posted in the limerick forum, but... are you kidding? Jesus christ, some people.

    **************MOD NOTE******************


    From here.



    Okay, people, can we tone down the aggressive name-calling of this woman, please?

    I understand that it's an emotive subject for many of you, but there's no need for outright name-calling.

    Thanks.

    UPDATE: Please don't link to this woman's Facebook or any other social media. The next person that does it, will be getting a ban.

    Holy feck, my mother raised 7 in a 3 bed house until I was 13 and we did grand!

    I shared a room with my 4 brothers!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 830 ✭✭✭Born to Die


    She is complaining about the standard of the house. Totally different to what you are trying to imply.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 9,273 ✭✭✭Morlar


    with a fifth child on the way, Serinna has said enough is enough.

    I agree.


  • Registered Users Posts: 3,808 ✭✭✭FatherLen


    maybe she should try closing her legs.

    She is a ****ing disgrace.

    Her 18 month old should be sleeping in her room and not passing the kid off to her teenager to babysit.

    And she is expecting another kid......Jesus H. Christ...........<snip>

    This is the fruit of our welfare system. Those that won't contribute out-breed the rest of us and whinge when we can't afford to provide for them in the manner they'd like.

    ADHD my arse, gob****e of a mother more like!


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 11,835 ✭✭✭✭cloud493


    If there was smoke coming into the kids bedrooms, and a danger of carbon monoxide poisoning, why the **** did she stay anyway?!

    Same reaction there. What planet are some of these people on. Claims her children were in danger of carbon monoxide poisoning for eighteen months, but gets pregnant again anyway..

    Cases like this are why things like child benefit should reduce when you have more children, not increase. To try and discourage people who cannot afford to have large families from having them.

    Why would any mother choose to have more children if they are already living in poor housing? This "lady" chooses to blame the government but she was the one who choose to bring at least 2 more children into this house.

    Decent housing should be provided, fair enough, but a room for every child? I may be getting old but if I was in a position where it was obvious I could not provide for the children I had, I would stop getting pregnant rather than expecting the government to cater for me.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 13,295 ✭✭✭✭Duggy747


    Live in squalor.

    Kids at risk from Carbon monoxide.

    Solution?

    Have more kids.

    <snip> My parents raised 6 of us in a small 4 bed and never had anything to complain about.

    And she's having more kids? Probably to get more child benefit...

    Yes if only everyone stopped getting pregnant...

    Do you want a large family: No
    If you accidently get pregnant will you go over to England for a termination: No
    Will you give the child up for adoption when it is born : No

    Ok, you're not allowed to get pregnant, under any circumstance. If you do I will call you a slut and you and your kids deserve to live in a home that is well below standard.

    The more kids she has the happier the house will be.

    Seriously she would want to close her legs.

    there is a wonderful and cheap solution to all of that.
    contraception.

    Do you use contraception? - yes

    Staple her gee shut until she learns that her kids are meant to fit inside a house and not the house around her kids!!


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 1,878 ✭✭✭arse..biscuits


    The more hand outs people get, the more they expect.

    I used to do voluntary work in a place that gave free meals to anyone who wanted, no questions asked. I overheard two men talking one day as they queued to get their free meal.
    "Look at the state of the walls, you think they'd paint the place"
    "Ah sure they don't give a f**k about us"

    I went to work there thinking I would feel good for helping people but I left after a few months because of the attitude of the people there.

    One day we had a BBQ for kids and parents, we provided tons of burgers, sausages, buns, rolls, sauces etc. All free of charge. I spent hours cooking for no pay and I think I heard 1 mother say thanks. One screamed at me for not providing forks. They threw all their rubbish all over the place even though there was bins provided.

    How Many "accidents" can one person have? if she thinks the place is unsafe why bring more kids into the house?

    In general terms if i cant afford more mouths to feed i dont creat them

    She's complaining the house is too small for 4 kids and now decides to have another. A responsible adult would actually have the sense to think "maybe now isn't the right time". In the case of people like this, its more "a sure the council will sort out a bigger house anyway". Jaw dropping sense of entitlement where there is absolutely none deserved.

    5 accidents. She's very unfortunate isn't she:rolleyes:. She should get compensation ;)

    Her partner "Toyota" was unavailable for comment.


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 3,528 ✭✭✭foxyboxer


    There is a legitmate concern surrounding the piping and carbon monoxide issue especially with young children but as it's a council house it's not supposed to be the Ritz-Carlton ffs.

  • Closed Accounts Posts: 750 ✭✭✭Mr.Biscuits


    She is complaining about the standard of the house. Totally different to what you are trying to imply.

    In fairness, the opening line of the article is:
    A MOYROSS mother of four says she is “in despair” at having to look after her children in a three bedroom house.

    So wasn't just something the OP plucked out of the air.

    How many 'accident' children does she have to have before they become on purpose...


    If this really was an accident and she was using contraception which failed, she would be the type to have a lawsuit filed


  • Closed Accounts Posts: 18,239 ✭✭✭✭WindSock

    Maybe she planned some, maybe not...maybe there are even more sinister circumstances. I don't know and neither does anyone else in here baying for her gee to be sewn shut and to never have sex again.
    All because she has requested better conditions to bring her kids up in. There is hardly a shortage of empty shells to move into.

  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 18,159 ✭✭✭✭phasers


    I have 3 brothers and an older sister and when I was little I literally had no bedroom. My sister was an adult and had boyfriends over and stuff so she got her own room (the box room is too small for 2 people anyway). I just had to sleep in the sitting room or wherever there was a spare bed. I didn't get my own room until I was 16.

    Bloody short changed or wha'? But this auld tart needs to just deal with it like everyone else does.

    People dont want anything other than to be able to hurl abuse, they dont want solutions or to understand the issue. If you end up in this situation your fcuked, your a lazy, ignorant slut who cant raise a child and you only have yourself to blame. And if you do one damn thing to try improve things for yourself your an ungrateful greedy cnut who should be happy with being privileged enough to have such fine folks casting their ill founded judgements on ya.

    Thats what I've got so far anyway. Good thing she's not a foreign national or she'd really be in for some abuse.

    Take a bit of responsibility for starters.

    As one of the comments at the bottom of the article points out, she is living there for 5 years and is going to have 5 kids soon. So assuming the other kids are over 5, she had three kids in a 3 bedroom house which is not overcrowding.

    If she hadn't planned to get a bigger house on her own, she should have taken more care when having a family.

    Whats to happen if/when she has another 5 kids. Should she be entitled to ask for a 10 bedroom mansion out the country?
