A MUM-OF-FIVE has come under fire after saying she was deceived into accepting a council house with photos that made the property look nicer than it really is.
The mother, who posts under the username @the_davis_family7, was brutally slammed and told to ”show a bit of gratitude” after sharing a clip of her .
According to the mother, who shares the with her partner and their five kids, the family first saw the property in December, 2024.
Since then, they have moved in – and have been told by the authorities they can stay there for the next 18 to 24 months.
Showing off the inside of their new temporary home, the mum noted the was on the smaller side – however, that wasn't a major issue.
”The size wasn't really a shock, as I'd seen someone else's the day before.”
She went on in the video: ”The housing officer had shown me pictures in the office… which were very deceiving.”
The mother-of-five zoomed into the ”lovely pearlescent ” and said that by looking at the photos, she had assumed it was a tile wall.
”And the red paint.. Well, it looked better,” the matriarch of the said.
After removing the wallpaper, the parents were horrified to discover the ”horror of layers of paper and this horrible bare wall underneath”.
To spruce it up, the mum revealed they were planning ”strip the rest, as the red is painted wallpaper” and ”pop up lining paper”.
Since sharing their ” journey” on TikTok under the username @the_davis_family7, the mum has received a mix bag of responses.
Whilst many wished the family well as the mum bravely admitted the moving process has been ”stressful”, critics reckoned she was moaning when the council has helped the family.
One viewer commented: ”wow, show a bit of gratitude, why don't you.”
A former homelessness victim opened up, writing: ”You’re off of the streets. Please be grateful for that. (ex homeless person here)
” I once lived in a burnt out car at the back of a derelict snooker hall. Please be humble and start repairing your life.”
”Yes it's not Buck house , but safer for you and your family. Be thankful for small mercies,” a third chimed in.
”enjoy. I'm 31, and have never been able to get a council home. still bid every week almost 7 years on now,” a viewer wrote.
