It's like when you get married to anyone from another culture--you either adapt to their culture or they have to adapt to yours. Most Gypsies are deeply rooted in their culture so if you're marrying into, you better adapt and overcome. I grew up in an Italian family; men have their role as provider, women have their role as wife, mother and housekeeper. They dress a certain way, celebrate holidays a certain way and eat mostly Italian meals. They also believe in bigger and blingier. I can so relate to how Gypsy families live.

The replies to this comment just prove your ignorance and lack of knowledge regarding travellers and their lifestyle. Their homes are so clean you could eat off the floors, them wives, mothers and daughters clean there homes whether it's a caravan or a house all day every day, you will not find a spec of dust, dirt or grime in their homes. They have old traditional values, whether you agree with it or not, but the wives/ mothers are home cleaning and cooking and keeping themselves looking good for their husbands and raising their children, while the men make the money and live to provide and protect for their families. So don't comment with ignorance on things you don't understand or agree with cause you just make yourself look stupid.

[@Misdeminas]

All I ever hear of travellers stick together and look after their own, so why has no one from her community offered her any help? It seems that everyone is so quick to turn up for a celebration or an event for a stranger, but when it offering help for a single mother that is homeless, no one seems to care.

Even in this show, it demonstrates driving with no insurance or even a licence. Acting dangerous on roads and putting innocent animals and peoples lives in danger. You don't even have toilets in your caravans, hence why your kids sh*t in peoples porches, public lifts, on the street. The highest rate of domestic violence, the sexual abuse, lack of education etc etc. You say you respect your elders and look up to them, yet you all swear on your dead relatives' lives, which demonstrates you have no respect for them at all.

All that and a bag of chips 😋 Every Halloween I was a gypsy in my admiration of them. And cherries are still my favorite. This was over 60 years ago, isn't it funny what stays with you?

I’ll never understand having children that you can’t afford. My husband and I both work and it’s not easy to give our one son everything we want to. I can’t imagine being delusional enough to think I could provide for seven by myself. I’m honestly shocked that she still has custody of her kids. I know that sounds harsh but my biological mother placed me for adoption because of her young age and financial difficulties and that’s the most selfless thing she could have done so I probably see it a little differently.

Here’s a novel idea, create parks with toilets, showers and large bins for garbage. Maybe charge a small fee to use these parks. You could charge a yearly fee for a tag to enter any park. Here in the US we have “Gypsies”. We call these traveling people, “Snowbirds”. Generally Snowbirds are retired people, who want to escape the harsh winters, so they travel south for the winters and north for the summers. We have hundreds of thousands of parks across the US. Some charge a fee and some do not. I can’t imagine hating people, because they don’t want to “settle” and live the life of an urbanite.

[@ikkelimburg3552]

These kind of sites are all over Europe, called campings. Travellers don’t want them because there are rules like not burning your trash, no partying all week long with loud music, certain days when trash is collected within set hours… And of course the presence of ‘gorgers’ or ‘snowbirds’ (elderly in campervans). Normal rules but rules.

My frustration with Travellers is they don’t understand that the need to pay, what everyone else does to live. Unfortunately this argument will go on, as being a traveller in this age doesn’t work. Sure when horse and cart back in the day and they lived off the land was ok, but now they want to live for almost free and pull up in bloody BMW’s… Clearly they have money and why should some else pay for there living. I love the family connections they have and a lot about their culture, but this isn’t 1900…: I guess the fight will go on 😳😳😳

This “ entitled “ to a home is awful, yes every one is, but the majority of people have to work their bollocks off to get and keep a house, if every one had this attitude who would be paying for your houses ?, and why have so many children when your in these positions were you cannot support them, me and my partner are expecting our first child, we would love more but we know we cannot afford it! No one wants to be responsible for their own actions!

But when push comes to shove you bow down to politicians (but you don't know that) Travelers scare politicians and get respect that way. I agree with you but your blaming the wrong people.

Yeah but it doesn't help that she was raised in a community where you're taught. You have to marry very young. Have no education and pop as many babies out as your husband puts in you and then to have that husband be a piece of garbage abandon you and end up in jail and leave you with seven children. What was she really supposed to do? It's not like she can get a job because she has no way to get child care. Not to mention she has zero education.

[@sarastrehle7098]

Why isn’t the father mentioned by you? Regardless, middle classes struggling to pay rent is no reason to complain, she only doesn’t want homelessness for her family... Tell me, why is it t not possible for both middle class and others to have a place to live? It seems as though no one is even allowed to simply build their own house or establish themselves unless they pay an unreasonable amount of money in order to do so. I think the issue is with the countries that allow this to happen to their citizens. They have you against your own people and believing middle class is better than others. You do know the ones in charge are not the little middle class right?
