Sorry did not realise this was about that thread. I was aghast at how low their food bill was.

Yes it was astonishing because it was clearly all made up!

Shame the small minded sheeples can find time to call BS on this! You watch something on tv and suddenly your an expert, or your opinion is more believable than the actual truth. When Its absolutely true! Should my Darling Wife have to give our home address, bank details, names and dob’s of all our children, so that you can check with DWP I’m sorry that you can’t believe we can make a large family life work on a bugdet because it doesn’t fit your view of a large family!

Yes it is a shame, I've since had an email conversation with MN and clarified that I do in fact have 11 children, I also offered up a payslip to clarify my job so you are indeed wrong that it was a trolling thread. They have now reinstated my account.

Yep looks like it’s going really well for all expelled 11 children

Actually if you look through my previous replies that was in response to another thread on here regarding the op being excluded from their fathers will

TourmalineGiraffe · 02/02/2023 18:42

😁

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 02/02/2023 18:53

Actually u were wrong @Maireas

How did the op find time to sock puppet 😀

Her puppets needed 1 to 1 time too, which is a struggle but manageable despite the 3 loads of laundry and 12 hour shift

We need birth certificates and food receipts

Well I only came across it whilst searching for tips on darning socks, however I've now abandoned that plan as I found a much better video and now I can create sock crocodiles.

And why, if it was all genuine?

Justputitdown · 02/02/2023 17:50

I liked the idea of the protected 1:1 time for 11 children multiple times a week. I can't manage this with 2 🤣

That's on you tbf. Most people with 2 dc wound probably manage this

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 02/02/2023 19:01

Okay @Sarahcoggles you expect me to show my children's birth certificates on her in a public forum???
Food receipts I am happy to share, alongside recipes and meal plans but birth certs is a step too far. I will happy send these to MNHQ though to clarify!?
I will post up our weekly food plan and shopping stuff once kids are in bed.

The tales got taller and taller until posters started calling out BS.

I know. I thought it sounded bonkers.

I wasn't being entirely serious, hence the emoji. I wouldn't be laughing if I thought I was neglecting my children.

But in all seriousness as one of 6, I do find the possibility of parents finding time to have meaningful 1:1 time with 11 children regularly as well as a working hard to believe.

I'm sure @mnhq can clarify that i was not sock puppeting

Maireas · 02/02/2023 19:05

MaryBerrysCamelToe · 02/02/2023 18:53

Actually u were wrong @Maireas

Well, with all due respect Camel, it did seem quite implausible.
If it's true, you are indeed a gargantuan among parents.

Maireas · 02/02/2023 19:06

Me too, @Justputitdown
There's no way these children can have enough affection and attention, however well intentioned and kind the parents are. It's just not manageable.

Maireas · 02/02/2023 19:15

Anyway, she's started up the AMA again, so maybe more detail will be shared.

Lifesyoungdream · 02/02/2023 19:19

I was joking but yes I'll be honest, I don't believe you. That's the beauty of the internet, we can pretend to be whoever we like
