A mother-of-nine who claims £38,000 a year in handouts and demanded a bigger council house for her huge family is pregnant again - this time with twins.
Cheryl Prudham, 32, and her husband Robert, 29, are set to receive at least a further £1,400 in handouts when the baby girls arrive.
Mrs Prudham said she will 'not be made to feel guilty' for having children' as she and her husband both work part-time.
Last year the couple, from Sittingbourne, Kent - who were living in a three-bedroom council house at the time - said they were entitled to a bigger house, because they both work part-time.
Eventually the couple were able to arrange a house swap and they moved to a £200,000 property, also in Kent, the Sun reports.
But the expectant mother is still not happy with the swap - organised via Facebook with a family looking to downsize - because she had to move away from her preferred area of Sittingbourne.
She admits her huge brood were not especially planned because she and her husband do not like using contraception.
Speaking after her bid for a new house last year, she said: 'In the past I have been on contraception but I got pregnant with the coil and the pill just doesn't settle well with me.
'We don't use condoms and me and Rob have never talked about it.
'I did rely on benefits before but I am motivated to be more than a mother.'
And she admitted: 'I was surprised by the cost of our kids in the end.'

Are you being deliberately obtuse? Big families are fine with me — as long as you don’t force taxpayers to support them. Multi-generational welfare is not a good thing.
I hear you. I’m torn on this.
I think the mother and husband should look for cheaper living arrangements, and be willing to accept that. But it would also be best at least if the mother stays at home and not work...And if it means they get some taxpayer support, fine.
Frankly, they are willing to take on a burden, that other “hipsters” are unwilling to do. Meanwhile native Brits one day will find themselves as a minority in their own country and wonder, “What the Hell happened?”
There’s nothing to criticize them FOR
The only problem here is that the government here, and in Britain, gives them money
They should say no
All the so called low govt ers on this site should stay out of it as well. Quit feeding into the birth control sick sick mentality
And criticize the government her and everyone else enabling this puke of a man to have sex with a woman when he’s incapable of supporting and providing for the outcome
Take away this fraction of a man’s ability to do so starting with this stupid woman allowing a man with no sense nor means of provider ship and u have no reason to call for killing the babies
A tax “credit” that exceeds what you’ve paid in isn’t a tax credit at all. It’s a stealth welfare payment.
Can you see that far into the future? How do you know those children won’t grow up to become productive citizens?
One way to guarantee that they will be “wards of the state” is to force both parents to work to support the children, without a stay at home parent.
As I stated, cheaper living arrangements should be found for them, they should make no demands on where they should live, if it is on others’ dime.
I’m not looking at the future. I’m looking at the results of the past sixty or so years of welfare spending right here in the US.
The good news is you don’t have to pay for them, they’re British.
I meant critize the muslim famlies doing the same thing.
You won’t be seeing any msm hit pieces on THOSE families. It might hurt their widdle feelings and stuff.
At least the kids in this family are British.
I thought the same thing. LOL I love some of the Brits expressions.
Muslim men are not noted for screwing around sitting around and taking taking and taking like western men have grown to do since the inception of birth control and women’s consequential putting up with every stupid lazy excuse for their idiot boyfriends to expect them to use birth control because these animalistic males have no intention of living like civilized humans and taking taking taking while being allowed by everyone ESP birth control
To treat women like sex objects
If Muslims latch on to this mentality they are stupid but this is a western notion
“fallen pregnant” ???
The media believes pregnancy is a malady.....?
Obama believes she is being punished.
You are totally missing the point. I wonder if that’s not intentional.
The POINT is that there are MANY large muslim families who are on benefits. Many of those families are on benefits because the ‘mother’ is the second, third or fourth wife of a particular muslim man. He’s polygamous. BRITS are paying for that. Most of the remainder are on benefits because the husband either can’t work (because praying 5 times a day is disruptive for those with a modern work ethic) or simply won’t.
Many muslims in the UK view the receipt of benefits as payment of Jizya and therefore feel entitled to receive those benefits from the Kufirs.
And you will NEVER see THOSE families criticized in the media.
You you can’t FEED them don’t BREED them.
At least the kids in THIS particular piece are in fact BRITISH.
Well, they ARE entitled. How can they be expected to raise a family on 38,000 pounds/yr.? I mean, isn’t this the rationale of the left uses to justify the “living wage”? It will soon come to this here. (BTW, those kids all look exactly like their mother).
At least some Brits are actually have children.
Could you make that first sentence just a wee bit longer?
I don’t have a problem with big families. I’m just don’t want my taxes supporting them.
Not likely. This is in the UK.
Welfare reform, but it is a can of worms and receiving welfare may have to be dependent on voluntary sterilization after several children. Too Nazi for my blood. We need to pass a law you can have one or two kids on welfare, every child thereafter is not covered. It would soon whittle these families down. Bigger newer problems would be are there enough menial type jobs for the uneducated/unskilled to find work to support even smaller families, would they turn to crime and are there enough jails should they do so? And there would have to be large gov’t facilities where unwanted children would be dropped off to be raised or adopted. Possibly cost more than welfare in the long run.
Well, at least she is married to the father.
