Daily Fail story here
21 babies! That's some achievement. I cannot believe her body is still in one piece. I feel sorry for those kids though. There's absolutely no way they can all have the individual attention they need growing up. Four kids maybe, perhaps 6 at an absolute push but 21 seems like collecting trophies for a hobby to me. It'd be interesting to see what families those children decide to have when the time comes. It seems like she's putting her own want for babies ahead of her existing children's wellbeing & that isn't healthy. I'm curious that she's practically guaranteed herself an endless supply of babies as her children have children. But they're supposedly paying for everything themselves so we're not allowed to say anything against them. I don't agree with it. Tell me I'm being U.

Everything online has a history so it can be traced

That’s not true. I was in the national papers 11 years ago and you won’t find a trace of it online now

Caprisunorange · 10/11/2018 18:50

And certainly, if I delete my own blog, or Facebook page you won’t be able to find it

dontalltalkatonce · 10/11/2018 18:50

Are you alright, mum? You appear to have jumped the shark on this. Methinks you'll be one of the hun fans from the FB page. Well played until you lost the plot.

No one has to prove anything to you. They wrote it on a blog. If you chose not to believe it well, that's your lookout. Hmm

Fallingout · 10/11/2018 18:53

@mumto2babyboys are you for real? Are you actually saying I’m lying about her blog because I don’t have a link 🙄 it was called the Radfords or something, it was really bad and weirdly I haven’t saved any info on it because I’m not a complete weirdo.
You seem to have plenty of issues regarding it and should probably just move on.
I disagree that she left uni because she was homesick, it’s not what she stated.

Fallingout · 10/11/2018 18:55

@bluelady very strange most posts are not remotely concerned with how much money they get. Your post is actually the worst I’ve read.

Valanice1989 · 10/11/2018 18:55

I can't get my head around the idea that children who aren't expected to effectively co-parent their own younger siblings are "snowflakes". "Snowflake" seems to have become a completely meaningless insult at this point. If anything, conceiving a child and then expecting your older kids to pick up the slack in raising them is much closer to "snowflake" behaviour. The parents are the ones who had sex, they should deal with the consequences.

There's a big age gap between me and my brother and I did help in taking care of him when he was little. But that's the key word - "help". I didn't co-parent him! Teenage siblings do not make great parents, because how ever much they may love their little brothers and sisters, they do not have the same sense of responsibility for how they turn out that their parents do. If a child is rude to you, do you think, "If he has big brothers and sisters they should be ashamed of themselves, they should have taught him some manners?" Of course you don't. You blame the parents, because it's their job to bring their children up properly.

Do any of you know anyone who works in it/computer science?

Absolutely everything ever posted can be traced online so that's why I'm asking for actual year/timeframe and details to trace it

Thesearmsofmine · 10/11/2018 18:56

This is hilarious. I had a blog, it got deleted several years ago now it is nowhere to be found online, trust me I have tried.

I have no idea about their tax credits status, if they have ever received them or if they claim them now, I don’t really care about that side of things. I am aware that the dad has been in articles slating people who have children and get council houses yet they have lived in council houses in the past so I don’t particularly believe what he says.

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 18:57

I'm not an expert on why most leave uni but why would she go back when she had already left

Valanice1989 · 10/11/2018 18:57

In devout Christian and Muslim faiths the older children always take care of the younger children

The older sisters, you mean. Do you think that's fair?

Caprisunorange · 10/11/2018 18:57

Yes everyone knows someone who works in IT or computer science. It’s hardly unusual

A580Hojas · 10/11/2018 18:57

I cannot think of a single positive thing to say about this. Really, not one. The most environmentally dubious thing you can do for this planet is to overpopulate it.

liverbird10 · 10/11/2018 18:57

Ugh.

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 18:58

Everything online can be traced despite ignorance about it

Even this. Can be traced

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 18:59

Fb is the one minority I believe that can't be traced unless you consent in a court of law and if you don't it increases your sentence

Caprisunorange · 10/11/2018 19:01

Go on then, find it. “The radfords” blog, 2010

PickAChew · 10/11/2018 19:05

Why does this matter to you so much, mum? Honestly?

GreatDuckCookery6211 · 10/11/2018 19:06

If someone had 21 dogs they'd be labelled ill, obsessive and down right ridiculous, if they bought a new puppy every time their previous dog was a year old, time after time after time they'd be called selfish and be told they weren't giving each individual dog the attention they need.

Replace the 21 dogs with the Radford children and you get my drift.

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 19:07

Because I don't get tax credits because I work ft and also I believe them in their documentary so I want to know if I am wrong or not to believe they don't claim more than child Ben

MiniMum97 · 10/11/2018 19:08

I think the world would actually be a much better place if people weren't so bloody judgemental. Give me a family with 21 children over the posters on this great any day. Who made you judge and jury?

Caprisunorange · 10/11/2018 19:08

Did you find their blog then?

Valanice1989 · 10/11/2018 19:08

Everything online can be traced despite ignorance about it

That's not true. There are websites that I used to visit in the early 2000s (and later, for that matter) and can no longer find any trace of. Your best bet is the Wayback Machine, but that doesn't capture everything, and even sites it has captured frequently have broken links.

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 19:09

And also because I have doubts like have can they afford it and afford to take their kids to Florida

Would just like to know the truth since people post stuff without backing it up

Yogagirl123 · 10/11/2018 19:09

Good luck to them.

mumto2babyboys · 10/11/2018 19:11

Well cps can and do trace everything ever so if you can't that's normal but it can be Traced and a journalist could also trace it

Hence the YouTube how to hide a body from thrown away phones evidence that get used in court
