@Skyejuly I think she was 13 and he was 18. But he's a really nice guy. Not abusive at all. No, definitely not.

Bloody hell! it's a uterus, not a clown car. Surely that many pregnancies so close together can't be good for you.
Of course it is their business how many kids they have. But I would just hate to be one of 22/23+.
The biggest family I personally knew was 17 kids. I can't even give you 17 names I like, apart from anything else.

I always hear people who have had a couple of kids complain about their pelvic floor, it’s not normal go to the doctors! 7 kids here and no problems and no seeing when I sneeze, laugh or jump on the trampoline.

Tweetingmagpie · 20/10/2019 20:46

She was 14 and he was 17.

I'm one of three, that's two too many for me.

HeadLikeAFuckinOrange · 20/10/2019 20:48

I think when SR finally starts menopause, she is liable to need real help psychologically. Having babies seems to be a compulsion for her, her safety net and all she's ever done. Once that has been taken away by biology, I think she will be deeply missing a purpose.

Venger · 20/10/2019 20:49

she was 13 when she got pregnant with her first and he was 18

This can’t be true?

Oh it's true alright but didn't you know it's okay and not at all chimed abuse because he married her?

There is a name for grown men who impregnate underage girls and that name is not "super dad".

I think its crass to comment on the state of her pelvic floor, her need to Tena pads, or where they find the time and energy to have sex however I do think it is utterly irresponsible of them to have yet another child when there physically are not enough hours in the day for them to give their existing children any sort of meaningful attention.

Know how class teachers sometimes miss things like a child feeling ill or early signs of SEN or bullying or general unhappiness because with 20+ children in a class it is impossible them to give every child one to one attention? Well I imagine that's what it's like living in the Radford house.

timshelthechoice · 20/10/2019 20:51

Her doctors must think she’s a bloody idiot

It doesn't take much for anyone to come to that conclusion.

elliejjtiny · 20/10/2019 20:51

@subwaysaladfan me too. My 5th was my last and I think any more would have caused too much damage.

Venger · 20/10/2019 20:51

She was 14 and he was 17.

13 and 18.

3 kids here and I can't even run a parents race on Sports Day without it turning into a breaststroke across a pond of my own piss.

Weeps Grin

TheFairyCaravan · 20/10/2019 20:53

So fucking irresponsible.

And as sure as eggs are eggs there will be a spread in the Daily Mail telling us all what a lovely family they are because they don't claim benefits Hmm while they completely forget that she got pregnant at 13 by her 17yo boyfriend and they've been drawing £50k+ a year in tax credits for the past 20 odd years.

Passthecherrycoke · 20/10/2019 20:53

I’m so surprised on these threads that’s people are surprised no one cared about their ages with their first pregnancy. When I was at school in the 90s there were 14 year olds having babies to older men. No one cared. No one arrested them. How do you think situations like street grooming gangs happened in Rochdale/ Bradford/ oxford/ Huddersfield happened?

andineverwill · 20/10/2019 20:54

OK, so I think the woman is ridiculous, but sorry, I think going on about her pelvic floor in this way is fucking disgusting.

InsertFunnyUsername · 20/10/2019 20:54

I dont even like 22+ people. Let alone remember their names.

Span1elsRock · 20/10/2019 20:55

I think she needs some serious pyschiatric help.

It's the kids I feel so sorry for.

NormaBean · 20/10/2019 20:55

But it’s an actual offence. Why was he never prosecuted?

andineverwill · 20/10/2019 20:56

it was a law in name only for years norma

lynsey91 · 20/10/2019 20:56

They really make me sick. Utterly selfish and totally totally stupid,

The money that have taken from this country is unbelievable. All those births, schooling, medical costs and dental costs. Plus how much must they have had in child benefit, tax credits etc?

They could never ever put a fraction of that money back even with the magic bakery takings.

I feel so sorry for their older children

Unfortunately they are addicted to having babies. I think they will keep on having them until Sue goes through the menopause.

andineverwill · 20/10/2019 20:57

I don’t even think it’s that, at this stage. Each baby = more publicity and thus more money.

BlessedBeTheFruitCake · 20/10/2019 20:57

Crikey, thought they said the last one was definitely their last?!
