DD(16) has been following the media attention being directed at the Off Grid Parents with interest (and incredulity . . .). She's looking forward to reading what the MN Jury has to say about this latest development!

I just love this campaign. They want to be self sustaining.. As long as everyone else pays for said sustenance. Brilliant.

well I don;t really think it's off grid self sufficient parenting if they are expecting strangers to fund it.

I think it should be renamed "lazy parenting".

They just can't be arsed to put any rules in place or pay for their own relocation.

Haha, love it. We're so self sufficient, we don't need society or its rules... But we'd like some of the money you've earnt being slaves to the system so we can set up a little farm/commune and basque in our own smugness.

One of the comments described them as self-indulgent and self-entitled... I think that's more accurate than self sufficient.

They couldn't even be arsed to spellcheck their own pitch for money. I'll pass thanks. Hmm

It would help if they could spell the country they want to live in. At least I assume they mean Costa Rica not Costa Roca.

They've made it to Australia. Didn't their baby piss on the floor in a studio?... That's something to be proud of

They're aiming for £100,000. £140 so far.
How are they funding their current lifestyle? They said they live in a one bedroom flat with garden, but any property costs, whether it's rent or mortgage.

And why is it necessary for her to be breast feeding the five year old in every photo?

These 'off grid' types always want to move to Costa Rica. What's poor old Costa Rica done to deserve them?

Well yes. I suppose an eyeful of milk squirted fresh from the bazoomba will do nothing if not take your mind right off your irritating eye infection!

I especially loved the pithy comments at the bottom of the page - there are some corking responses to these deluded souls.

I'm kicking DD out tonight as am hosting Pimms and Gossip. Feel less guilty now she can amuse herself reading this thread Grin

I would like to conduct a social experiment in which my family and I volunteer, under great personal strain, to document how being a billionaire corrupts family life.

Link to our funding page to follow shortly...

Deluded twats. Hmm
