I’m a pregnant mum-of-5 & people presume I’m a sponger on benefits, but I’ve worked since 15 & still look after my kids
A MUM-of-five has hit back at critics who accuse her of being a sponger on benefits, but she claims that she’s worked hard since she left school at 15.
Dawn Haywood, who is currently pregnant with her fifth child, says people need to “mind your own business” and to “keep your opinions to yourself” unless they know the facts.
The mum-of-five, who details her family life on TikTok and Instagram insists that she works hard to support her family while still being a full-time mum.
Responding to a comment on TikTok from someone who claimed that she was “living of taxpayers money,” Dawn said: “Comments like this really p**s me off.”
“It just goes to show how opinionated some people can be with no actual facts behind them,” she continued in a video.
“Since I left school at 15 I was paying taxes, at one point with four children as a single mum, let me just add, working two jobs to provide for them children.”
She went on to say that her husband Chris, with whom she’s expecting their second baby, has also worked since he left school at 15 and the pair have paid their fair shares of taxes.
“You clearly don’t know either that I’m still making money from a little home run business that I can do so it fits around my children but yet I can still make money and still be at home and spend all the time with my children,” she raged.
“That’s just how I live now,” she continued. “I don’t need to go out and work to say that I’m working and earning money so have a nice day and keep your opinions to yourself. “
Dawn and Chris announced their pregnancy on Instagram and said they are “so excited” for the newest addition to their family.
The couple have one child together already, while the mum has an additional four kids from a previous relationship – although the older boys both call Chris dad.
