She was really good with the kids and offering to babysit was really generous.

[@dougodyssey50]

She likes kids.

[@rockriverlady-ue6nu]

i was impressed with how she paid more attention to the baby with the bottle then she did to the camera

[@Daph112]

This show has solidified my unwillingness to have kids. Not only are they expensive, they also make women unable to follow their dreams. 3 young kids.... Everyone who's thinking of having a kid or more should babysit for a month. In a family with multiple young kids. It's EXHAUSTING.

[@goober776]

The opposite for me just makes me want to work harder

[@jessicahexhibits]

This episode is not as bad as you lot are saying. The Skints aren't happy with their lives, and they could use more money. The rich kid is quite sweet. I'm glad she can see she's won the jackpot being born into her family. I hope that she continues to enjoy her amazing life because that's what her parents want for her. ALSO!, it's okay the Skits got drinks, lord knows they could use it... from the looks of it, the drinks were quite cheap

[@Kalani_Saiko]

Exactly. God forbid they have SOMETHING once in a while.

[@thelittlemermaid6645]

Well they did it for themselves. A lot of moms work besides taking care of children for example and don't complain,unless her. I don't feel sorry for her at all

Yes exactly and when she offered to look after the kids ahe did if they want to go out for a drink or something.. so she understood as well.. 23:32 and also been over a year since they enjoyed a night out together..

[@bethjackman6728]

The rich parents worked hard to give their kids a luxury care free life and theres nothing wrong with that. Skint parents need to stop saying poor me, my life is so hard and do something about it.

[@kaddysanyang8209]

I honestly don’t get why the show makes them go to these tiny off-licences to do grocery shopping.

[@jaimeeb3739]

I think it’s just due to the allowance of filming/bigger productions given in convenience stores, rather than bigger stores which might decline filming to take place, since larger…more corporate stores have more rules and regulations to follow when it comes to the association with their store, If that Makes sense 😊

[@biliegh_itiswhatitis]

Or it’s closer so it’s used more often

[@Basha1WB]

This episode was the hardest to watch. The wife is mad jealous of Devin! They didn't use their time wisely, they should have done something that cost them no money instead of buying drinks. Its better to turn off the electric breaker box this will save more money than unplugging a gadget. U hope everyone l3arned something valuable and life changing. Is the trampoline business a sponsor if this show? There seems to be quite a few episodes with tickets to the same franchise 😂

[@yycMeB]

Not

[@celestialcircledance]

I'm certainly not jealous of her for having five bedrooms eleven bathrooms and three kitchens much of which don't get used . Unless you're planning to be a landlord that's a lot of maintenance and upkeep and for what ? Even if money is no object managing hired help is like a full-time job !

Switching energy on and off doesn’t save energy. It costs more. And defrosting the freezer would also save money.

[@sandrasmith2465]

I can agree with this as my late dad was an electrician and told me it costs more in electricity to keep turning the lights off and on,it’s cheaper to keep them on as it costs more to turn your lights off and on.

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

Oh really? That’s interesting! I would have assumed it’s cheaper to turn everything off if you don’t use it - but surely more environmentally friendly anyway

[@szk12]

I didn't know this and I'm in my 40s 😢, I keep unplugging gadgets and turn off fans, ACs and lights everytime I leave a room.

[@sandrasmith2465]

@@szk12 no dont do that. Especially if you have the long strip lighting in a kitchen which flickers for ages before it actually turns on. My dad,wise man told me off when I was younger for keeping turning the lights off and on,it’s cheaper to keep them on. The appliances that use the most electricity are the little space heaters so definitely turn them off when you are not using it. Also the kettle and the microwave use up the most electric but it’s only two minutes or five minutes. Everything else keep it on unless you are going away then turn off everything apart from your fridge/freezer.

[@katiebianco123]

Why are they shopping at a corner store instead of shopping budget at say Aldi

[@Scoobyyy423]

Am I the only one noticing that those who are lower income have so many kids?! Like I know when you're pregnant you can't control how many, but after having your 1st child and know your financial situation you would think those people would be smarter moving forward going on birth control or wearing a condom.

Well not having too much intelligence that's why

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

That’s a stereotype and I am surprised you think three kids is a lot. I guess most families have 2-3 kids no? Also life is about more than money and children bring joy which money cannot compensate for. Or so I’ve been told 😁 I don’t have kids, but I love my nieces and my nephew. Also I have four siblings, both my parents studied, all my siblings and I studied and I am currently doing my PhD. Another girl who studied with me has 6 siblings, the family is comparably rich with cars for all the kids, paying everyone’s rent, electricity, food etc, I really don’t know how they have enough money for that. A colleague of mine comes from a crazy rich family, 3 or 4 siblings, I am it sure, but here we’re really talking about own helicopter type of rich. Rich and middle class people can have a lot of kids too but here nobody talks about it because here it’s not an issue

[@360kcc]

This show should have a franchise for Asia, trust me... so far I've watched many episodes n these rich kids are nothing compare to Asians. I have friends n their kids allowance can goes from $500/week to unlimited.

[@denize7139]

I have worked these types of shows. They are prompted by the show personnel to ask these questions. Reality shows are not very real. Reality is too boring. Sorry.

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

Asia is a continent. That’s a lot of people and a lot of cultures thrown together, surely not every thing Asian is identical. Very different whether you’re rich in Afghanistan or rich in China

[@sharonsiddall5094]

Why shop at a convenience store ,its more expensive,

[@dougodyssey50]

I can only assume the major supermarkets don't let he cameras in.

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

I don’t think she was very angry, she was as probably frustrated seeing how bad they really have it. But I don’t think we should be too harsh on her

[@DollyDimples87]

Devon is a lovely young lady. You can see how hard dad works for his money. It sad they got a loan and are now paying with interest. I wouldn't have kept having babies if the 1st on was hard financially...surely grandparents are close by that will help with a few hrs? Or friends? Repay them by doing some house work one weekend for helping out with the children yes going to be tiring but will bring in more income in the future...hope this family gets back on their feet soon ❤

They have three kids.

[@annetoronto5474]

The kids are not as expensive as the leftist media want you to think, kids are time consuming and need a lot of attention, but they are a benefit to society and family. They help the extended family stay together and create happiness. The reason so many people are lonely is because they don’t have children or grandchildren.

[@Kalani_Saiko]

@@annetoronto5474 No, I'm talking about expenses such as school fees, school related activities, food and anything else the kids do. You know, the expenses that make RAISING children so expensive? I'm not judging them for having kids, there were just factors this person didn't consider when they made their comment. Kids may not be expensive to HAVE but they are bloody expensive to raise and keep. Believe me, I have four younger siblings.

Well, staying home sounds as if she’s not doing anything, but she has three kids to take care of which is more than a full time job. Seeing as the country relies on a certain birth rate and a certain number of people running the country it should be pretty normal that the government supports parents no? Maybe I misunderstood your comment and you didn’t mean it like that

[@bethjackman6728]

I don't understand the UKs electricity thing. In Australia we sign up with an electric company, power is on 24/7, you get a bill every 3 months. You can also make electricity payments every week IF you want. If your bill is a bit bigger than expected, you call them and get a payment plan.

[@wastingjam4133]

@@bethjackman6728 yeah where I am you have the option to either submit your number from your electrical meter every month and then pay for exactly what you use or pay a set monthly amount each month and then once a year they kind of just average out your actual usage and how much you paid and if you underpaid you get one bill that's a little bit higher if you overpaid your your next bill is a little bit lower. I don't really understand this whole going and putting $5 on the power like what does that do my hydro bill is like $240 onn a good month. And like what if you don't have like five ten bucks to put on the power do you just sit around in the pitch ass darkness as everything in your fridge rots?

I get that skint people can't always afford to have a guest room but do sofas that fold out into beds really cost a lot more or why not an air mattress ? Conversely I don't see the point of having all those extra bathrooms bedrooms and kitchens unless you plan to be a landlord . Even if you can easily afford it ,that's a lot of extra , unnecessary upkeep .

It sounds like her parents house was a conversation, most people don’t build a house with that many kittens. I have heard of homes for Orthodox Jewish families who keep two kitchens for religious reasons.

The couple was obsessed about asking how much Devin gets and the wife seemed angry. I’m sorry but they should’ve think about it when you get pregnant so soon and jeep having babies at a young age. Since you’ve made a choice, please don’t be bitter or jealous of what others have. Devin was boron into money but she’s a nice person and walked away learned something.

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

Well in the other episodes they also talked about that. I think the general structure is scripted including the asking how much they have, how big the flat is etc, because the structure of the episodes is always the same

[@user-ou1ui3dy1g]

Also a bit difficult to say if you’re poor don’t get kids tbh. Having grown up poor I generally agree, but if people want kids and it’s a big wish for them I think it’s also their right to decide for them. And I don’t think she seemed angry, just frustrated with their situation, she seemed very tired which is probably normal in her situation with the little one and everything
