Mother Of 12 May Be Having Another Baby
To those who want more children, 11 might seem less. One 32-year-old recently put up images on social media showing that she may be expecting a 12th!
Cheryl Prudham's Facebook post reads "Prudham baby #12," and it shows the image of an a 12-week-old foetus. However, after there was a lot of media attention, the post was removed and dubbed a "joke" by Prudham. It is not too clear whether Prudham is pregnant again or not.
Last autumn, Cheryl Prudham had twins, but one month later, she and her husband Rob got another one, adding their 10th and 11th. Both of them have had five children together, but the others have different fathers.
"There could only have been about a month after she had the twins before she was pregnant again," a friend of the couple said. "I don't know if they'll ever stop. They just keep on having more and more," says a friend in opposingviews.com.
The Prudhams receive government support in order to help with the expenses of running such a large family. The British couple get £38,000, or $58,000 annually. About £12,000, which means roughly $18,000 more than the normal sum. However, the couple gets the additional income as they put in effort in order to look after the elderly, which "allows them to top up their income with tax credits", according to Daily Mail.
Initially, after she demanded that her local council should provide her with a bigger council house, so that she could accommodate her expanding family. But after that, she said that they put aside the benefits in order to feather their nest and enable their children to enjoy holidays and gifts.
Criticising the decision, a spokesman for the TaxPayers' Alliance said that the taxpayers cannot keep up with the demands.
