Another Radford

Is it me or are the Radfords a bit selfish? Loads of people congratulating them on social media about the new baby. I'm crippled with morning sickness at the moment and I know I'm not giving my dd 100 percent on this homeschooling as a result. How are they all getting homeschooled? How can they possibly attend to all the emotional, mental, physical and educational needs of those children? I caught one episode of their programme that showed her in hospital unable to attend her own son's birthday party because she was having yet another child. I know they say they're self sufficient with the bakery etc but they still use NHS and education resources. Her having that baby at this time is adding to the strain of the NHS. I just don't get how people can congratulate them

She seems to stop bothering with them when they turn one because they’re not a tiny defenceless newborn anymore.

I definitely get the sense that she likes to be needed. If anything children need more attention as they grow. But it's as though she thinks she needs to have another waiting in the wings, because as soon as the youngest gets to over a year they will no longer need her.

Are they costing any less that a single parent on income support

You mean UC? Oh, yeah, that's loads of dosh there. Hmm

Let’s not forget that Sue has probably had free NHS dental treatment her entire life as well...

Interesting that Noel chooses to pay himself £49,000 salary. Conveniently just below the child benefit threshold.

OnlyFoolsnMothers · 13/04/2020 13:51

GingerBeverage surprised he didn’t pay himself £49,999.99

MrsRaab · 13/04/2020 14:19

They are deleting comments on their insta if people mention their new babies name to make sure people have to watch their vlog to know it.. more views = more money. Imagine thinking like that about your baby!

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 14:21

How cringey.

gingerbreadslice · 13/04/2020 14:35

What is the babies name ? Another Ie ending?

Nixen · 13/04/2020 14:39

Heidie
They’ve got so many kids they’re now making up names ffs
It’s Heidi but that wouldn’t fit their twee every girls name must end in E bullshit

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 14:44

What are the boys’ names? Do they get to have normal names or do they have to comply with the brand too?

Bobbie
Jimmie
Billie
Tommie
Sammie
Mickie
Connorie
Malcomie

Abreadsandwich · 13/04/2020 14:50

I dont think all the boys names have same ending. I think theres archie, oscar and caspar among others.
Apparently they're filming for a new tv series.

Nixen · 13/04/2020 14:50

No theme to the boys names, presumably as they’ll get to escape one day and not continue in the baby factory

Wolfgirrl · 13/04/2020 15:25

Theyve named her Heidie

Wolfgirrl · 13/04/2020 15:27

I just noticed in the Sun article she says only 2 of her kids have flown the nest... how many over 18s does she have??

paininthepoinsettia · 13/04/2020 15:30

Sue said once in a newspaper article that they had been having sex for a while before she got pregnant and they thought they were being careful, so she might even have been 12 and him 17.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 15:32

I’m confused. During the last “million kids and counting” show they did sue was pregnant with a girl (not with this most recent baby) and they went somewhere on holiday where there was a shop with lots of personalised stick of rock. I am almost certain sue found a stick of rock that said Heidi for that baby. They were quibbling over the name I think so I’m guessing they didn’t go with Heidi for that baby?

Wolfgirrl · 13/04/2020 15:40

I find Noel to be really, really, really creepy.

He has a weird look in his eyes/smile and that soft voice that makes me feel a bit queasy 🤢

paininthepoinsettia · 13/04/2020 15:52

@ChandlerIsTheBestFriend Noel wanted Heidi(e) but Sue didn't so they called her Bonnie.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 15:57

Ahh thank you. I knew I’d heard Heidi before.

Awwlookatmybabyspider · 13/04/2020 16:35

Pretty name I don’t like the spelling though.

MrsRaab · 13/04/2020 16:36

They said before they 100% weren't going to do another tv show (or have another baby) but their pregnant daughter said they're already filming before her baby comes too.

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 16:59

They said before they 100% weren't going to do another tv show (or have another baby)

They absolutely will do both until the choice isn’t theirs anymore. They can’t do anything else.

covidconundrum · 13/04/2020 17:10

The amount of people on the Facebook posts talking about how they're self sufficient, don't claim benefits and they're contributing to society as the kids could become doctors or nurses... resisting commenting

ChandlerIsTheBestFriend · 13/04/2020 17:13

as the kids could become doctors or nurses

And pigs might fly!
