If Steve was a woman would this debate happen? Say a disabled mother who stays at home with the kids and the husband works? Or just a able bodied mother who stays at home with the kids?

Steve is on disability pension not on social service (the dole, I'm not sure what the UK equivalent of Welfare is...)), he volunteers his time and stays home to watch the kids while his wife works. I'm pretty sure if he worked he would still get his pension anyway because he was disabled while working.

Also since he is now under lifelong medical treatment it is difficult to hold a normal job while having to go for medical checks fairly frequently.

He has 8 kids who are by 3 different woman, the ages between this kids are massive, some are adults now, he doesn't have 8 kids all with less then 10 years between them.

He volunteers does charity work for amputees/veterans, wheelchair basketball and other things, which is giving his time for free, and is flexible around his medical needs, I don't really see the reason to slate the guy.

There is no reason to criticize his personal life, but that being said he isn't a good HM...
