new episode shall we have a thread about it ??

cross post,ah i was right,makes a change

Ah, Mormons. Thanks, makes sense.

Ah I thought I heard that.

Hhmmmm

So their eldest was sent away at 18-19yo and the family were only allowed to speak to her twice in 18 months? think its telling that she has been home 5 mins and is looking to move out and take her sister with her!!

The Radfords aren't Mormons, the other family the Hanns are. Although contraceptives aren't forbidden when your a Mormon.

I didn't understand that about the eldest (Polly?) - why could she only call twice? You can get really cheap deals both here and in the US.

oh bugger i wanted her to have her independence

Aww the hanns girl stayed...she should of ran

Oh is that family Mormon?

the scottish family are mormon

god sophie looks so like her mum

• you are.
  She served a mission for the Mormon (LDS) church. It is voluntary and while on it you generally only speak to your family twice a year, although you can email/write letters etc weekly. It's meant to reduce homesickness and enable you to concentrate on the mission. Kind of like when you start boarding school.

the grass stains

£3000 on dresses and they're rolling down hills!!
I can't look 🙈

i know it's nosey and non of my buissness but i would really like a programe getting into the real nitty gritty of their day to day lives

Weren't all the dresses etc hired? I thought they were, not that that helps really.

I wonder if they get given branded goods so they are shown on to?

It's just not right, it's not fair on their existing children. My goodness 3 on a bunk , looks like prison beds. It seems that once the babies grow up, they have another.

Sue really reminds me of my MIL, all her mannerisms and the way she speaks; she too has another once her baby isn't a baby anymore, is very socially awkward and tbh in my unprofessional opinion I think she possibly has autism or ADHD or a combination of both
I think Sue shows some traits too

"We're happy our children are happy" not sure that's true tbh. No privacy, no peace, no one-on-one from parents, must be a nightmare to study...

Also I find it a bit much they're all going to the grave every week? Especially if they're not getting a choice. Everyone including children grieve differently and this isn't necessarily the best thing for all of them I don't think.

For me, it's the lack of one on one time with the children. I don't think it's fair on them although they do seem happy enough. I know I enjoy time with each of my two alone (I hope they do too). Also I think her (sue radford's) body is telling her to stop. I just hope she listens to the warning signs despite what the doctors tell her

I know, both Sue and her husband don't seem really with it! The Hanns seem quite sensible. Yes, this going the the grave every week business, do the kids have a choice, especially the older/adult kids.

How do they fill in all those reading journals and homework books....

I find one enough personally

Can just about cope with dd

The Radfords may be happy, but are their children!
