This programme is pissing me off. Who thought it a good idea to give a mum of two sets of twins under 2 reusable nappies?
And this holiday swap is a completely non comparable situation.

This couple will never change!
Why would they when her mum just buys them everything they want anyway!
That 10 year old is so spoilt!

The nappy swap was ridiculous and so is this holiday comparison

Dont know why a 10 year old needs designer fragrances and sunglasses

They're shallow and materialistic with their stupid number of football shirts and a 10 year old with an iphone and designer perfume.

Does the mum live with them as they said 8 people in the house.

And the granny is as thick and shallow as they are. "I don't care, it's just all about the name for me".

Whilst I agree wholeheartedly that buying designer doesn't always = better, surely you have to compare how long something lasts and stays looking good?!!!! Agggghhhhh

I don't get why people are cross about the nappies. I used washables and had three in them at one point. I started with Terry squares and plastic pants for dc1 then went on to motherease and wraps with dc2 before adding in tots bots for number three.

Not nice to see such a materialistic 10 year old.

The 10 year old is very spoilt by his grandmother, it probably started when the first twins were born

Agree re nappies, we used cloth for DC#2 and was quite evangelical about it but I wouldn't even give it a thought for 4 kids Shock

Really hoping they don't decide to switch out car seats, definitely one area I think it's better to pay more if you can.

I'm watching with my 12yo and he's horrified at the attitude of that little boy, DS is quite happy with his "budget store" 49p deodorant!

Not warming to this family yet!
Slightly behind you lot as paused to put SD to bed so just watching hols swop now.
I'm pretty sure that an extra 2 hours travelling time will feel like a fortnight with 5 kids?

Some of the swaps are a con though. Saying they’d save money if they swapped their bottles, steriliser, high chair etc. How are they going to swap if they’ve already bought them?? It’s good for pointing out ideas for people who haven’t yet bought these items but it won’t save this couple any money at this time!

I like that they are still offering alternate Erf seats.

This is pissing me off. The first bit of ‘oh look at all those bottles’. Well yes she has 4 kids under 2. Surely they need to be looking at ongoing monthly spending including food rather than stuff that has already been spent. I particularly enjoyed Alex’s suggestion of an au pair because it was cheaper. Yes having an unqualified teenager would be a great option for 5 kids with 4 under 2 in a house of 7. All the advice seemed pretty crap. Also I bet Alex doesn’t do budget things with her baby so the whole thing seemed totally hypocritical and ridiculous.
