Me and my 10 kids mega families

[Namechange8471]

Watching on catch up.

Thoughts?

Apart from madness

God that baby flew out

Sonya swearing over the phone at her daughter, complaining that she’s got not help and has to sort everything out – well, that’s what happens when you’re a single mum of ten. Where are the dads? I think the new baby’s dad was at the birth but pixelated out?

Why did the O’Rourkes spend £800 and plan for 5 months for the 1 year old’s party? Don’t they bother for the years after then? And why on earth do they keep fresh fruit in the fridge?

Both the mums trotting out the old chestnut that their kids love being in a big family. Do they ever wonder why 99.9% of the rest of the population don’t share that view?

Really hope neither of them has any more.

To spend that amount of money on a birthday is ridiculous.

Are the children banned from the kitchen in the O'Rourkes kitchen, the children all seem to gather outside. The dad saying that he was worried about the mum giving birth again and how he doesn't want to be left with the children if something went wrong....made me wonder if the Radfords have had that talk.

The new baby did fly out!

As a pp said, I really hope both families have no more. Too many children squashed into houses that are far too small, running riot. God help the quiet ones who just want a little peace and quiet.

Sonya must need vaginal physio, she didn't even realise that the baby had come out 😮. "It was just like taking a dump!". Glad she doesn't want any more and I hope she eventually does start up her own business. I can't help feel sorry for her, she comes across as lacking in maturity and just wanting to be loved.

The O'Rourkes must have the tax credit system down to a fine art, dad works very minimal hours, they go on holiday every year and can afford £800 birthday parties for a one year old (they have done this 10 times too) I'm sure she will have another, the dad more of less said that she always gets her way. I hope he either uses condoms or gets a vasectomy, he made it clear he didn't want another and she was making faces at him. I 'm shocked their shopping bill is only £150 per week, my two teens probably cost me that. Perhaps if they cut back on parties they could afford better food.

Urgh. Watched this last night. Don’t know why because I knew it would piss me off.

For starters how much do I hate that both families have Irish surnames! that’s doing nothing to dispel the myth now is it?

What a nasty fuck that sonya is to Shannon. One scene she is saying “I don’t swear so you don’t” another scene she is effing and blinding at Shannon because she’s struggling to get 7 kids ready for school at 15/16 years old and her mother is saying “no one thinks about me”!! What? It’s planet sonya in your house! The entire house revolves around your sex life and your lack of contraception. Children eating their dinner on the stairs because you’ve never bothered with a condom.

Whingeing about money being a struggle, but carry on having children and spending a fortune on branded products and energy drinks.

Who in their right mind, with the actual childrens’ interests at heart starts their parenting years thinking “I know what I want, I want to be permanently stressed and shouting, I want my children to have to squish into bedrooms and for them to take turns with dishes. I want some of them eating on their feet and in the hall. I want them to have to worry whether I’m leaving them motherless each time I go into hospital to have another sibling. I want my older kids to be stressed out by having to look after my misbehaving kids so I can see my boyfriend in peace.”

Nasty selfish prick.

The other family managed better but still horrible for the kids. Half at the table, half on the sofa. No choice over whether they have ketchup on a bacon sarnie. Come on!! That’s not parenting. That’s crowd control. Poor little robots. And she wants another!! I hope he doesn’t give in this time. He seemed to genuinely want good relationships with the people his children are whereas she just wanted squishy babies. Once they’re a year old she’s bored with them. Idiot.

Btw I don’t know How they’re managing finally recently because tax credits woudnt be paying anything for the latest babies would they?

She will be getting TC for all but the last two so still a decent amount i imagine. Each new one will get around £60 a month in child benefit.

We are expecting dc5 and it will definitely be our last not only because it is alot and not fair to our dc to continue, but my fucking body is in bits.

I am in awe that Sue Radford is still walking around after so many pregnancies.

The thing is that many of these women start very early, come across as both intellectually and emotionally stunted and therefore either do not have the sense or choose to remain in denial regarding their children's welfare in order to fulfill their need for another baby. Sonya's 'I'm the one that has to give birth' outburst demonstrates her total lack of awareness and self absorption. She fully expects her children to pick up her slack and feels slighted that she is the one having to give birth I hope by some miracle her children do well in life and break out of that cycle.

The O'Rourke mum seems more organized but that is because she has her husband doing 50/50 and the dc pick up a lot after themselves. The way she was trying to convince him to have another and totally dismiss his fears (and even roll her eyes and make faces) before saying that she was going to TTC and then just announce the pregnancy to him made me feel that she is very controlling and manipulative. If it had have been the man saying those things I would be telling her to LTB and do the Freedom course.

Just came across Sonya's facebook....bloody hell she is thick, she didn't have the sense to think that the programme makers would highlight the fact that she's a single mum of 10 on benefits. She's very upset that people are judging her, being a mum to 10 is hard work dontcha know. It wasn't her fault or anything

Where’s her Facebook? Can’t find it 😩🙈

Sonya Anderson. It's published on the newspaper articles so public.

She deleted Facebook as it shows her drinking holding a new born baby while drinking a bottle of whiskey it’s disgusting

Probably for the best, she did herself no favours with what she was writing.

She must have two facebook accounts. I can still see the one I thought eva was talking about. The only public posts are about the public’s reaction to the show. And then nothing before that since 2014. I did wonder if she had made just those posts public for some reason. I couldn’t see any pictures of her drinking whisky.

Tyric her Facebook is still up. I think she probably loves the attention, she might bag a new man with the new found fame. You're not her sister Tracey who's been posting about her by any chance?

I can only see the one where she has 2 posts moaning, got to laugh at the 1st comment someone has said "its jealousy"!! I don't think anyone would look at her life and be jealous of it.

Oh yes I’m very jealous of the life of a single mum of ten children living in a 4 bed flat.

It is sad when a mum has so many kids and the others get neglected or have to play mum to the younger ones

And yes buy more bowls

I thought child benefit stopped after 4 kids ?

Child benefit doesn’t have a cap on it. Just tax credits.

I know TC is capped now but what about FSM and uniform grants for the children who don't get TC, would they still be eligible for these? It would be awful for the child if they weren't.

Oh yes I’m very jealous of the life of a single mum of ten children living in a 4 bed flat. grin

Perhaps we should be, she gets several child free nights per week to stay with her supposedly non existent boyfriend, rent paid, no stress about getting to work after the school run. She was complaining about having to look after the one year old when the older girls went to school!

Oh I never thought about FSM and inform grant. I really hope that hasn’t been capped. That would be pretty shit for the kids.

Pretty sure its juat tax / universal credit that is capped

Just watching on catch up, that was like shelling a pea

Sonya does have a boyfriend but is cheating on him
