The Radford's life of luxury.

[Popxsixcle]

There's no hate In this post. Just watched some of their YouTube content this morning as years ago I saw them on TV. Wow their lives look like one big ball of fun. I'm guessing they have made alot of money from going on TV? Hot tubs and holidays and refurbishing a huge home whilst keeping all those kids in clothes. Not to mention they spend a fortune on every occasion.

I remember it was budgets before. Now it seems they have a never ending supply of money. Certainly not having to count the pennies now. .

Somehow they make family life look constantly fun. I only have 2 children and can't offer mine anywhere near What they have.

They seem to have a lovely family and seem nice people. Just amazes me now how social media has allowed people to get rich for contributing nothing of value to society. Not taking away Noel works hard. Again no hate. But it's ridiculous when normal people struggle to make ends meet.

Noel may work hard but they are still taking LOTS in their entitled benefits as a top up. Their child tax credit amount alone must be staggering.

I don't have any love for them though. Those kids are the childcare. And just because they have stayed married and had more children, it doesn't make it okay that Noel was 18 when he impregnated a 13 year old child.

Well all YouTube personalities make their lives look like never ending fun. It’s not real.

Having said that I do think Sue maybe has something wrong, like she is trying to recreate something by having lots of babies.

I wonder if they’ll have another baby??

Really? I suppose it depends on your definition of fun but I would hate to be constantly on show. My dd likes a youtube Australian family for the same reason but it doesn't strike me as something adults would aspire too - seems exhausting and rather shallow.

Noel got her pregnant when she was 13!!! And he was 18!!!!??????

@Zerogravity is it that Norris lot?

The Radfords surely can’t still be getting benefits with all this Youtube/TV cash? I agree up until then they must have been but surely not now.

Are we taking bets on how long until this thread goes poof?

Interesting views. Are they entitled to benefits though? Based on how much they are bagging now? She got a £2000 washing machine gifted this month!!

I must admit the kids are very helpful. It's nice in one way. They are respectful. Polite and helping. But on the other hand why should they be carrying a younger sibling around.

It definitely is awful she got pregnant so young. There was no time for her to grow. Sue seems very innocent and like she heavily relies on her kids. I don't know if she has friends and family to spend time with. She definitely enjoys being in a children's world if that makes sense.

I figured they were making money big style from being on YouTube etc?

I would have hated to be filmed As a kid. But the kids are turning into sue. You can see they have learned to perform and tell people what they have got and show of their possessions. The vlog I just watched she started going through the teenage daughters wardrobes to show us the inside. I did raise my eyebrows at that bit. She definitely likes people to see what they have.

He was 17 but that’s not any better. Yes she was 13!

13

They probably get 'gifts' from companies on the condition that they feature them on their channel.

Based on how much they are bagging now? She got a £2000 washing machine gifted this month!!

She did? Or they did? Maybe it’s just for sue’s clothes.

This thread won’t last long. No criticism allowed, and no pointing out the ages when she first got pregnant.

That’s the best ‘no hate’ OP I’ve read. Such thinly veiled hate.

Certainly not having to count the pennies now

Just amazes me now how social media has allowed people to get rich for contributing nothing of value to society.

But it's ridiculous when normal people struggle to make ends meet.

And I’ve never seen any of the dogs being walked.
There was an episode where they went to the Lake District for a walk, no dogs, must have been left at home.

Those gifts are taxable - they’re provided as influencer marketing and should be declared as such. How does that come out in the tax credit wash?!

I find it all so grim - better if we don’t feed them any extra publicity. They have miniaturised and commercialised their own children, like so many others, but it’s still grim. The kids can’t consent to their lives being published fans commented on.

These threads are like a game of Mumsnet bingo

Grim. Yes that’s it. That’s the word for it. And icky. There’s an uncomfortable ickyness about what they do.

Their ages when she first got pregnant turns my stomach, as does the fact those children are basically just a product to be flogged now. Keep having more kids, hang on to that USP, eh Noel and sue 🙄

Does Noel work hard? He’s hardly at the magic pie shop. Hugely behind on orders and always off on weekends away here and there.

I have no idea why they are gifted so much. They already have plenty and can afford plenty more. They are not an aspirational family at all, unless pimping your children out for money is what people aspire to nowadays.

And as for their ages when Sue was first pregnant…it’s not the love story of the century. Man gets child pregnant then keeps her pregnant for the next 30 years.

I assume they get the money from tv which is no different to a lot of YouTube influencers but I do still think that they appreciate the value of things; when their kids damaged their newly done garden they showed that IMO. Also their lives with that many kids don’t look fun to me - they show all the cleaning, washing, shopping, bed times and meal times so even though they do nice things with them there’s still the monotony of looking after that many children

How would they still be on benefits with the money they rake in from TV and media?

It's sad that in 2021 this family is so celebrated.
Pregnant at 13 and pregnant ever since.
No barefoot so there's the modern slant.
