Are the Radford's massive piss takers?

They lie so much. Make up they were brought up in care but actually were adopted as babies

Actually both sue and Noel were adopted as babies. Neither grew up in care. And realistically there is no way to be a good parent to 21 living children. Its just too many.

Are you ok?

No no no you misunderstand. I have literally hundreds of these people in my life friends relatives. They all acting in a very similar manner. As I say 99% of the working class population, the Radford are no different.

What a snobbish and inaccurate comment. So you have one friend who does not use her daughter's earnings in the way you would (which is her choice and nothing to do with you no matter how much you may disapprove) and then extrapolate from this example a judgement you impose on a whole swathe of people and also assume they accessorise their homes in a particular way.

I also feel sorry for their neighbours. Imagine living next door to that lot. Awful

Well, even if we had none of us highlighting how shit they are as parents would be wrong? Or do we have to hashtag be kind on MN?

Don't forget the poor dogs Sue kept buying

Where did I say that?

Not to mention the fact that Sue’s had a maternity exemption for free dental care and prescriptions pretty much her entire adult life.

Because she doesn’t look after the kids, the older girls do. She literally carries on like she’s still 13 without a care in the world.

I don't know but I wouldn't want their life for all the money in the world.
Every time I read about them I wonder how Sue has ever slept, had a minute to wipe her arse or time go get her bloody nails done.

The tv threads aren't usually complimentary. Only as so fake now

Oh, are we all supposed to be complimentary about them on here and say what an inspirational family they are?

It might not be the most important aspect of their situation, but I think it's very sad that the family can't ever travel anywhere by car as a family and all talk together, sing along to their favourite songs or laugh at the silly in-jokes, like most families take for granted.

It's one of life's little everyday bonding opportunities for so many families (yes, I know, there are often many challenging and less pleasurable circumstances too!) - but (short of an actual bus) there isn't even one single commercial vehicle that can accommodate all of them. They can travel with Mum OR with Dad, but never withbboth, when the whole family is going somewhere.

Have I wandered into Tattle by mistake?

I read this yesterday but didn't reply as cba to type and assumed thread would go pop

But still here

As many I am amazed that Noel was never prosecuted for rape of sue. She was 13 and 4 ish mths when got preg and 14yr 2mths when gave birth

Can you imagine if Tilly was giving birth - she is 14 now

I've watched them since the original 16 kids and counting and alongside with other large families

The older shows were good showing every day stuff

Tho awful they took door handles off bedroom doors

Since ch 5 all we seem to see of them

going on holiday - 20 this year I believe

And every time they are late starting school term

Fake arguments between siblings

Bloody Disney world x 100

All kids look starved

Older kids just popping grandkids out

None of the older kids seem to work. Just have kids. Will they stop at 3 - eventually youngest will be 3 and they will have to work if they don't pop out another

Now thread will go pop and I've wasted my time typing that

You do realise that’s 99% of working class people’s lives ?

Well that’s obviously nonsense but even if the kids aren’t going to swimming lessons or football training, it’s very sad to think those Radford kids must miss out on sleepovers with their friends or class parties etc It would be impossible to keep up with whose party it was or who was invited at any given weekend. I thought it was sad when they interviewed one of the kids and he said his best friend was his brother. They obviously just keep themselves to themselves and the kids don’t have any kind of life outside of the cult family.

Frankly offensive and patronising comment.
99% of lives. Really ?

This post is breathtakingly snobbish, not to mention inaccurate.

You do realise that’s 99% of working class people’s lives ?

@MyPithyPoster 🤣🤣🤣 funniest comment I have read! What a load of shite!

What? You think 99% of WC people have Live, Life, Love stickers in their living room and don't care about their children's future or education.

What a dickish post.

Meant to quote Pithyposter.

I wonder if any of the older children feel resentment? They must have had very different childhoods compared to their younger siblings

I‘ve always felt uncomfortable about their “fame”. I can’t get my head around a poor little 13 year old girl becoming pregnant, and having 21 more children until menopause. I actually find it quite tragic and disturbing

There was an episode where they got one of the young boys to try and get into a football club. He didn't make it and he looked so disappointed 😔 Obviously all done for the show. They had no intention of getting him in but built his hopes up🙄 Setting your kids up for disappointment just for "the gram" or whatever. It's pretty sick. None of the others seem to do any clubs or extra activities. Let's face it,every single aspect of the kids lives are documented so I can assume they don't. It's like a little cult. No friends over etc.
Looks like they've never been to a dentist either 🤦‍♀️
