New thread for new series

obviously all this has happened in the past year

they would have been better filming this as it happened and showing it

as we have seen all their trips on Facebook and instagram if on it

@Blondeshavemorefun, I’ve just started watching Scotland’s biggest families. Much prefer these families so far to the Radfords. The Hann’s seem really nice and I thought it was quite interesting to hear one of their eldest children commenting on that now it’s very odd coming from a big family and how it has its issues.

I can’t stand the other family on Scotland’s Biggest Families. They’re so irresponsible I don’t know where to begin. They’ve, also, got a YouTube channel because their dream is to make it big and give up work. Have a look at what they feed their kids in a week, it’s utterly shameful.

I was disgusted by last night’s episode of 22 Kids and Counting.
They were going on about Nowall and Sue being loves young dream, and her being a young mum when we all know that’s not what happened. Then they were really bitchy and snobby about their first home when Chris, Sophie and Millie all live(d) in Social Housing, while they spend hundreds of thousands on luxuries. It really pissed me off.

@TheFairyCaravan, I really dislike the Sullivan’s. I found a tattle thread on them and it’s quite eye opening. I do think having such huge families when realistically without some external support they can’t be financially supporting them not to mention being able to spend enough time with each kid. The Radfords are just grim.

I think with a lot of these families the issue is that they're not famous for anything other than having lots of kids, which means they have to keep having babies in order to maintain public interest and keep the money coming in. Certainly the Radfords seem overwhelmed by their brood - you always see the older ones looking after the little ones, and they generally seem a bit out of control. The kids must grow up wondering whether they were born just for social media fodder.

@Blondeshavemorefun, Tattle is brutal. It makes Mumsnet look like a pre-school.

PenelopeTitsDrop3121 · 06/03/2023 11:30

Tattle is brutal but there's a lot of truth there.

I've followed the tattle thread from the start. I find them fascinating in a WTAF way! Every week I watch the shopping haul and I can't for the life of me work out what they eat except for Chicken Burrrrrrgggeeerrrrrs, Supernoodles and crisps!

@Towntroubadour hi what channel is the Scotland families on please

Towntroubadour · 07/03/2023 17:31

@mrssunshinexxx i picked it up on BBC iPlayer - Scotland’s biggest families.

louise5754 · 07/03/2023 17:39

On episode 9. Why are they talking to us like we don't know who they are? I wonder if they are releasing this episode to the US?

louise5754 · 07/03/2023 17:41

How does he work 80 hours a week?

Must pay to put some in nursery then?

louise5754 · 07/03/2023 17:43

Wonder who paid for the wedding?

purpleme12 · 07/03/2023 18:51

It was incredibly cheesy episode

louise5754 · 07/03/2023 19:44

Ah how long were the little ones crying for? I think both of Millie's babies were there too. Aw I bet they were freezing 8 hours!!! I wonder who looked after the kids

MyOldFriendTime · 07/03/2023 19:52

I didn't like how they were being disrespectful about where they used to live - people are still living there!!!!!

Bagpuss2022 · 07/03/2023 19:53

It’s so scripted there’s no way they sat there for 8 hours with no electric it’s getting ridiculous now

I know even her mum was slagging it off. I don't think they should have filmed the house.

Fizbosshoes · 08/03/2023 07:26

I thought the episode was quite strange. It seemed like they hadn't seen Sue's "close friends" in the church for ages and Noel looked really uncomfortable there I thought.
And I think quite disrespectful to film the road they used to live in and then say how rough and awful it was.
And when they talked about how difficult it was when the Kendal shop didn't make a profit and the debt kept sue awake at night, and Noel working 2 jobs...I did wonder why they thought adding more children would help the situation...? We've had debt that kept me awake at night and the last thing I would have wanted was to have another baby (not least because it would - impact my own earning power)

purpleme12 · 08/03/2023 08:16

Well to be quite honest I'm not sure I believe them about the bad debt anyway because as people said it's getting obvious it's just full of ridiculousness this programme now
Wouldn't be surprised if it was lies

louise5754 · 08/03/2023 08:44

I mean they already had 9 kids when he reversed the op. Why??

Anyone notice how uncomfortable Noel was with Sues Brother? He couldn't banter back with him.

Why were they talking to him so much about their sex life?

Yes the 8hr power-cut was sooooo overplayed

Agree madness to have no 10

And another 10 + more

Cynical But they weren't Britains largest family at 9

Other families had more than a them so they were just a bad family till had more kids

OP posts:
MyOldFriendTime · 08/03/2023 11:27

The power cut was so fake. Millie was there with her 2 kids so as if they wouldn’t have all just gone to her house instead of sitting in the freezing cold with no power all day.
