please help i've been onto MP %26amp; shelter %26amp; need some more advice?
thank you so much in advanceWhat can i do if my family %26amp; I are overcrowded in our 3 bed house?
the rules have recently changed and if u have same sex children with a bigger then 6 year difference then they shouldnt be in the same room, so ur priority will change, but u say ur already at the top so keep on at the council and make sure ur kept in the loop over new properties avalible.
it is not illegal its just a guideline to follow.
are these boys ur only kids, y not have baby in with u and the other 2 can have there own room each
also i know its a big decision but have u thought about moving out the area, cos if theres only 12 properties and there all taken u may never get housed in one of them, but in the borough next to u they may have a bigger property ready to live inWhat can i do if my family %26amp; I are overcrowded in our 3 bed house?
I hope it all works out for you

And I hope it doesn't.

I also don't see why you need 4 bedrooms. You could have the baby in with you for a couple of years until the 15-yr-old goes away to college or gets his own place. Then the two youngest boys can share a room.
I wouldn't worry too much about the legality thing - as long as the children are well looked after, it's unlikely that any action would be taken against you.
I don't care what other people think, but I am going to stick up for the questioner here.
It is ok for people who have well paid jobs and can afford to buy the houses at the current prices.
What about the people who have jobs on the lower end of the scale, like the people who push your groceries through the till every week??
Try buying a house on that kind of wage nowadays.
So you are saying that people who can't afford to buy a house, shouldn't have kids.
You need to take the initiative and move to a house of your choice. Sounds as if you live in a socialistic country where the state gives you most everything but in return you must abide by all of their many rules. Do they tell you when you can go to the bathroom too ? I hope everyone in the USA can read this and think twice about electing a socialist such as obammamamma for president. Last time I checked, in a capitalistic country, each individual has the right to choose the size and type of house he lives in. Long live Capitalism !
Aren't you the same person who came on to Y!Answers moaning that someone you know kicked your door in, as a result it wouldn't close properly and it was a danger because you have so many kids and one is autistic... But! you didn't actually pay for it to get fixed for something stupid like four years because you said the council should pay for it and then slagged off the posters who said that if you were so worried you should have fixed it yourself years ago..?
Yes... You are... So, Hmm...
I know several people who planned their future instead of living each moment as it comes, didn't have kids they couldn't afford, got fairly well paid jobs even without a college education, bought their own houses and are living a reasonably comfortable lifestyle... Then they had kids...
It's not hard you know... You just needed to keep your legs closed or use contraception... You don't need to have your tubes tied if you make the effort not to have children.
I understand that this might sound harsh but have you ever actually tried fending for yourself and not depending on other people to bail you out all the time ?
I'm sick of people thinking that society owes them a living and I can tell you that in no way shape or form should my tax money be used to help someone who is either too stubborn or stupid to help themselves.
Report my answer and thumbs down me if you like... I rest safe in the knowledge that I speak the truth and although the truth hurts you have no-one to blame for that particular pain but yourself.
There is a 10 year gap between my eldest brother and my youngest brother. We all slept in one room whilst my sister slept in the other.
I didnt see the council rushing to rehouse us.....
....oh thats probably because mum and dad worked and brought their own house!!
I agree with the first guy, you should have thought about it first, my parents had to buy their house, and why on earth you need 4 bed rooms beats me, by the time the last one is 7 the first one will have left you, you made your bed lie in it
Spend less on unwanted luxuries and rent Private housing. Contraception, or abstinence if you are not married, are alternatives to sterilisation.
Try to convince the local council that you are from Afghanistan.
Because your children are all boys the law is slightly different than having boys and girls where they must be given separate rooms.
And I also agree with the comment that you should look closely at your circumstances before deciding to expand your family.
my grandmother is one of 12,,they managed? could you put a conservetery on the back and use that as a bedroom ,only trying to help
I know someone who has 4 boys in one bedroom and they seem to manage. You can't expect things to be handed to you on a plate I am afraid.
Write to the Ealing Council,If they can a house to an unmarried mother whose is a immigrant, they maybe able to help you.
Possibly you should have thought of this before 'expanding' your family, and not having the means to buy your own house?
hear hear, Super couldn't have put it any better and his answer mirrors my distaste for the parasites who prefer to leech off everyone else
Have you thought of housing exchange?
If you google it there are loads of schemes - here's a couple to get you started
I feel so damn sorry for you, there was 12 kids in my family and most of the time we had 3 or 4 cousins staying with us. In the summer months we moved our beds outside and battled the mosquitoes, rattlesnakes, coons and possums. Not once did my mom and dad ask people that had nothing to do with the size of our family for a bigger house. What the hell is this world coming to?
Gavmel you got it. If you can't afford a house you sure as hell can't afford kids. Why do people think they have a right to the pleasure of making babies, and then expect the taxpayer to pay for the raising of them?
It is hard living in a place that you feel is too small but at least you have a council house - you and your family have the sort of security you would never have in private rental properties! You have 3 bedrooms. Do you only have one sitting room or do you have a dining room as well. If you do, this could be turned into a bedroom.
In your situation, I would be finding a bed that could be made to look like a sofa in the living room and use that myself and then give the 15 year old and your daughter their own room, leaving the two younger boys together. Yes, it is hard but at least the two who need their own space would have it. As a mother you should know that your needs come last within the family. Having to sleep in the living room is something that many parents have to do. I don't know why you have four kids but I', going to take it for granted that your partner has either left you with the kids or there is a good reason why you are no longer together.
|f there are only 12 suitable houses in the area and they all have families in then what is the council supposed to do? It can't just conjour up a house for you. You will have to wait until one of these houses becomes available. Your MP and Shelter can't order the council to build you a property. You will have to be patient and manage until then.
