Hi
Followed Sue and Noel Radford and family on our tv programmes & see they have a new show on tomorrow (29/12/16).

Something I don't get is child safety in this and other larger families.

I mean I had 3 under 7 and I watch 2.5y old all the time, even when he is in older siblings room as there's bunk beds etc and even dressing up clothes can be dangerous

I know the Radford's have super high bunk beds and they always have around 4 kids under 6y I wonder how they supervise them? Or do you think kids like these and in other larger families are in hospital much more often ?

I pointed out something similar but got deleted 🙄

UnbornMortificado · 21/01/2017 23:26

Wankers my DD is nearly 13. It's truly horrible.

Liv you seem to be getting a hard time today Confused

WankersHacksandThieves · 21/01/2017 23:32

I saw your post was deleted Liv but I couldn't remember what it was you'd said. Couldn't remember it being in poor taste or anything though. I know that an age gap becomes less important as you get older and indeed, DH and I have a 5 year gap. However if as a working 17 year old he'd been hanging about my school trying to pick up 13 year olds, I'm sure the police would have got involved. We didn't meet until I was 27 btw so 27 and 32 is perfectly acceptable.

The batshit person that talks the truth that none of you want to hear??!!! Paulankathedog maybe point out the full stop to your fellow posters 😜 I see a lack of full stops in older posts! Also it's *by not buy!!!! (Exclamation point on purpose just to annoy the hell out of you!) I will also inform sue of this pregnancy that a previous poster has pointed out. Thanks so much as she was unaware of this imaginary pregnancy! #somuchstupidinonepost take that back to your average nursery teacher. (Full stop noted)

UnbornMortificado · 21/01/2017 23:48

Wanker I can only imagine there was no one to support her.

Very sad.

WankersHacksandThieves · 21/01/2017 23:49

So, are you Sophie or Sue? I keep changing my mind.

Justanormalmummy · 21/01/2017 23:50

Love how you all call me a strange poster because (shock horror) I have something positive to say about the Radfords. Maybe you should change the headline to negative comments about the Radfords....

FreshStart2017 · 21/01/2017 23:52

She's definitely not Sophie.

Justanormalmummy · 21/01/2017 23:54

Wankershacksandtheieves you will never know, maybe you should play the detective that most of you think you are. You seem to stalk their lives well enough I'm sure you can figure out who, out of their friends this is.

Justanormalmummy · 22/01/2017 00:03

I'm not sophie...... Keep guessing...... Ooooooh it's like a game of guess who 😂 except its with a bunch of very bored housewives 😂😂

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:04

I 'm not interested in playing detectives tbh. I posted on the thread as I come from a large family. You just come over as overly defensive about the wrong things. People are entitled to have an opinion on things that others are putting in the common domain.

I don't think that anyone has been overly nasty but am prepared for that to be disputed. I think I've read most of the thread but I haven't committed the contents to memory or a spreadsheet.

I've probably over the years watched most of the programmes but I wouldn't say I have any type of obsession about them. I would say that invariably the children all seem to come across very well, so someone is doing a decent enough job with them.

From what I can remember, I don't seem to recall there being many friends, so unless you are the Australian woman from that creepy couple, I'd say you must be a relative.

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:04

Not bored or a housewife...guess again.

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:06

I find all the emoji stuff a bit juvenile but that's a side issue.

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:08

Although, I asked if you were Sophie or Sue and you've just said you aren't Sophie so, I believe by process of elimination the guessing game is over eh Sue?

Justanormalmummy · 22/01/2017 00:24

It's strange really, apparently they have no friends? Do you some of you think I am far too highly educated to be friends with them?! Do you really think they are that simple?!!! ☺️ I am not sophie......the first thing you have got right...!!!!

UnbornMortificado · 22/01/2017 00:27

I can assure you that no one thinks your too highly educated.

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:33

Unborn :o

Who said they didn't have friends? I said I don't remember many being featured. You've now denied being Sophie twice but haven't denied being Sue, I know where the smart money is headed...

Justanormalmummy · 22/01/2017 00:35

Or that no one wants to believe that I'm too highly educated 😂😂 #indenial. It's *You're by the way UnbornMortificado 😉

Justanormalmummy · 22/01/2017 00:41

WankersHacksandthieves beleive what you want... I'm neither sophie nor sue.... 😂😂

WankersHacksandThieves · 22/01/2017 00:44

It's believe and given names usually have a capital letter.

UnbornMortificado · 22/01/2017 00:47

I'm dyslexic Hmm

Although even I can spell believe.

PaulAnkaTheDog · 22/01/2017 00:53

Oh dear, having to use my autocorrect to 'pwn' me. I'm officially embarrassed for you. You write like a twat and sound about 15. If you are friends with that family then I suggest you shut up, you're not helping them garner viewers (their income), you're just making them sound like their pals are immature lunatics.

Also, my guess for who you are? Jack Shit.

I don't think it matters who you are, tbh. You're not doing the file any favours by being so childish and aggressive.

The Radfords have sold their lives to the media. People don't have to like them or agree with the lifestyle they've chosen. There areany things that have been voluntarily put on the public domain that people have an opinion on. A 17 year old getting a 13 year old pregnant is one of them. Removing door handles to keep children in their room at night is another. Constantly saying publicly "we don't receive benefits" without acknowledging cb or tc really pisses people off. They should be honest about that or stop using it as their strap line. And, you know, wouldn't we all love an all expenses paid holiday to Australia?

There are many other things that people find annoying about them. The Radfords are far from a perfect family.

AltheaThoon · 22/01/2017 08:25

"sign" file = family. And many other typos. I'm stuck under a sleeping baby and my this are too fat for this keyboard.
