Homeless family of seven pitch tent in Nelson

When I started reading this article I kinda felt sorry for these people... I know that it can be difficult looking for a suitable place to live. Obviously with children you can't just move them to the other side of the city and expect them to get to school like other kids.

Then I got near the end of the article...

"Pengelly was also on a benefit after giving up her job at Countdown because the stress of finding a home became too much"

Uh, what? She quit her job - her only source of income - because she couldn't find a place to live? It was too stressful finding a house, so being unemployed will make you a far desirable tenant?

wtf was she thinking?? Her partner is already a stay-at-home Dad - is he going to find a job now now that she's at home, or is it too stressful for him as well?

FUUUUUUU!!!1!!
