    I'd crack up if I lived with anyone on tonight's programme for more than a week.

    (With the possible exception of the Priory hall girl) !

    I was trying to figure out but I don't think is a situation that previous generations had to deal with? I know my parents and grandparents and uncles/aunts would have been able to afford a house on a low income and raise a family.

    I used to live with my grand parents from aged 3 till 6 in a two up two down with 2 uncles...One eventually moved out and got married but one is still there after grand parents passed away.

    Would that couple with kids not be able to go on council waiting list?

    The couple from Kildare are lazy feckers sleeping in every morning as the Mum gets up and cleans the local pub.

    Oh boo-hoo. Everyone that has kids loses sleep.

    But guess what? They still get up and work.

    It's an interesting programme.

    That couple Finn and Leanne sound terribly ungrateful. Most of them do actually. I know it wouldn't make a good programme if the adult children didn't complain but it must hurt the parents that their kids are so ungrateful. The Kildare couple are guilty of that too.

    Your one that used live in Priory Hall seems the soundest and most clued in. She mentioned that she likes to retreat to the room sometimes for her own space but realises that she needs to check-in with her parents to be respectful.
    The Dublin woman that had the house in Wexford seems alright too.

    The Kildare daughter sounds gas. She seems so laid back but talks about being so stressed.

    While it mentioned that the girl from Priory Hall couldn't get rent allowance when she was unemployed as she already owned her own property, and I'm guessing this is the same for the woman from Wexford, did it ever explain why the couple from Kildare couldn't afford to rent? I'm sure with both being unemployed and with 2 children they would be entitled to it? Or had they rented out their house as well and it just wasn't mentioned?
