Sue Radford gives birth to baby number TWENTY and said it's her last

Did anyone see Sue Radford has had 20th baby! Quite amazing really.

They say is definitely the last. But note Noel won't have a vasectomy.

It's totally messed up. I won't be watching any tv shows about this, the production companies are enablers. Yes this is some ocd, hoarding type behaviour.

I don't really envisage there being much difference between having nineteen children and twenty if I'm honest.

I find it distasteful that she was only thirteen when she first became pregnant and that he was seventeen; beyond that I don't have much of an opinion.
Big families don't wind me up, seemingly I'm slightly strange in this respect.

I just don't get how she can get to know them all?! I don't have time for 20 friends let alone 20 children, does she know their favourite foods? What books they like? Their favourite class at school? Who their friends are? I don't see how you can gain that kind of closeness with your children when your time is divided up so much. Ugh I just find the whole thing so selfish tbh.

Well no, the ship has sailed slightly hasn't it.

I've had three and my bits have headed well south, despite doing my post-natal exercises. My physiotherapist tells me my muscles are quite strong but my other support systems are weak. I have bladder and bowel issues.

I just cannot begin to imagine what 20 pregnancies does to your body.

I think a lot of it stems from them both being adopted and their need to feel loved.
They said as much on one of their shows.

I also think that Sue is addicted to pregnancy/having a newborn.

It's almost as if once they grow bigger she feels vacant.

I have 2. I struggle with the daily mundane stuff.
I have no idea how anyone could cope with 20 kids and am also shocked that she dismisses reading.
That's one of the things we're really strict on here and it's paying off. Each to their own I guess but I couldn't imagine the chaos.

Waiting for the next programme which will no doubt be planned...

I feel sorry for Sue, I think she went through a lot of trauma as a child and teen and probably finally got a lot of attention having a baby so she's stuck in that cycle and never had a chance to grow up. But I was very impressed with how they keep up with the laundry!

I am worrying enough about having my third!

Attention seeking. How can you give individual children the time they need.
Nuts!

It's just sad all round - sad for the mum, first pregnant at 13, sad for all those kids, who will not get parental attention, sad for the older kids, forced to be in a parental role to their siblings because their actual parents are always focussed on the newest newborn, sad for everyone.

And everyone saying "how do the parents cope?" - they don't, do they?

They're worse then rabbits, Sue definitely has a hoarding issue with babies because as soon as they're walking and talking she's no longer interested and looking to have another baby! Noel needs to put a stop to this madness and get a vasectomy that he'll stick to this time as apparently he had one but Sue talked him into getting it reversed but he seems to enjoy the attention as much as Sue so I doubt he'll do anything.

In the article I just read Noel said 'Now we can get on and enjoy the kids '. Sad it's taken them 20 years to be able to do that. I guess there's always going to be someone to look after them in their retirement.

28 years !!

It's a shame they have some kind of weird cult following, because anyone with a smattering of intelligence can see this for what it is.

Sue was 13 when she first got pregnant by Noel, who was 17. How anyone can justify that is beyond belief

The kids clearly become less interesting once they start walking, talking and developing any semblance of individuality, as sue moves onto the next baby.

The older kids do a lot of the day to day nappy changing, bottle feeding and other tasks.

Sue has never had a job in her life and i imagine has few prospects of ever doing anything other than breeding, housework and then no doubt feeling empty once she can no longer reproduce

Re: finance- I imagine a huge chunk of their income is from the regular tv stunts that are pulled- it was Australia a year or so ago, Disneyland coming soon....I'm sure most of their children think this is Terribly exciting at the time, but frankly it's not the same as having a proper, private, family holiday where it's self funded and up to the family what they do. Sue and Noel have sold their kids, Whether they like it or not, to fund their selfish lifestyle.

Sue is very active on social media and apparently any criticism of the family is airbrushed out wherever she can control it.

I also wonder about the eldest son who also seems to get airbrushed out. Wasn't he estranged from them at least for a while?

Seems attachment issues are at the root of this very sad behaviour.

' I imagine a huge chunk of their income is from the regular tv stunts that are pulled'

I imagine a huge chunk of it is from child benefit and tax credits.

A proper party?! Mine have never had that but they're not deprived in any way. Strange thing to pick up & make an issue of.

She was 13 when she had her first.
He was 17

Oh I only mention it buckerjitt as if I had £4K tax credits per month I would definitely do big parties for my children. Not put the money towards new Prams.

Seems like a large portion of their income goes on babies rather than the children. I mean all the fun daytime activities you could do with children e.g. Water parks, even the beach she has only taken them to once even though she lives in a beach town, it's endless.

The Radfords have their own business:-

I don't think the birthday party thing is a biggie, kids don't need massive parties. But their spending priorities are weird- I remember reading an article where sue said Noel buys her a new pram for each baby. I mean wtf? And if they do qualify for tax credits that means the system is a joke, because if they can afford endless new prams they clearly don't need public funds for them. It also has a tone of being like a little girl with dolls... wanting all the paraphanalia rather than actually wanting to bring 20 individual people into the world.

It just seems to be those of low IQ who worship them tbh. A woman who risks her health and her massive brood being motherless by insisting on having another bayyyybeee with a husband who groomed her as a kid- the stuff dreams are made of hey

"The older kids do a lot of the day to day nappy changing, bottle feeding and other tasks"

I wonder what would happen if the older kids downed tools and refused. Which is their right to do.

"childhood sweethearts" She was 14

I suspect the journalist who wrote this would not be singing from this hymn sheet if it happened to a relative of hers.

The best thing I can say about this family is that the children's most basic physical needs are met - they are fed, clothed, have a roof over their heads and have beds (of sorts) to sleep on.

Other than that, it's a neglectful production line and I feel incredibly sorry for every single one of those children.
