22 kids and counting s3. Sunday ch 8pm

Who exactly have they made a better life for? Certainly not for any of the children imo. They might have more money, now, so that they can give the children more material things but look at the cost it’s come.

I do absolutely disagree that they should be wasting money on their third Florida trip in a year when one of their children that we know of, there may be more, is suffering so badly with their mental health. The younger children wouldn’t even notice if they didn’t go on holiday, but Chris will suffer if he doesn’t get the right help. Sue can sit in her ivory tower all she like’s pretending she’s a good mum, but she’s really not imo. She will do anything for content for a TV show, or bragging rights on Insta but actual parenting and doing the right thing? Nope. That’s below her.

If Chris’ mental health problems are as bad as what’s being said, and yes we do only have one side, then imo Sue and Noel owe it to him to help him. They’ve put it all over the papers and tv about how old they were when she had him and he’s suffered the backlash from that. They don’t acknowledge his children, allegedly, unless it’s to count in the numbers for their telly credits, but parade everything they buy and do for the other grandchildren on Insta, the media and the telly. That would mess up even the strongest of people.

Their whole family is a mess. Chris won’t be the last who has struggles, the pair of them need to catch a grip and be parents for a change.

Chris maybe suffering because of the likes of people on tattle constantly calling his father a peado and taking the piss put if their family and perhaps the likes of Nicole using it against him. How do you know what Sue and Noel do or don't do for Chris? And you only hear Nicole's side how do you know she's not stopping them from seeing the grandchildren? Like I said your only getting one side and the more people that bitch on tattle the more it may affect Chris mental health. I am not sticking up for them there are always 2 sides to every story.

I agree.
There's no way we can know the truth.
Not unless someone actually knows them in real life!

It’s not just Tattle. Every single news article on Facebook loads of people comment about the ages of Sue and Noel when he was conceived. And why do they do that, because Sue and Noel sold their children out to the highest bidder. No one would know anything about the Radfords had they lived a quiet life and stayed away from the TV screens. If it was me, I’d be learning from Chris and would be starting to withdraw the family from the public eye. Nothing is worth more than my children’s health.


And yes, we do only see one side, however Sue and Noel Radford have lied through their teeth throughout this past series. He lied in last nights program about the age he was when Chris was born. Their whole life is a lie. So no, I don’t believe everything Nicole has said, but I don’t think she’s an out and out liar either.

I’m just watching an episode of 17 and counting, where the second oldest daughter is going to uni. She has just said to the 12 year old girl that she will need to do everything that she always has to do: vacuuming, tidying the boys’ room, tidying her own room, babysitting, bathing the younger children. I’m all for older children helping out, but that seems an awful lot of parenting for a child to do.

I do agree with you on that, I have never been a fan of people that have their children looking after their other children, babysitting occasionally yes but not bringing them up.

The tattle thread is brutal!

The TV program seems to have lost its way. Really scripted with bad continuity errors. No real life stuff.

I agree that if they’d lived quietly nobody would really have picked up on the ages of Noel and Sue. But by saying it’s all worked out in the end it’s sort of condoning it.

Like if you’d murdered someone then it turned out they were a wrong’un. It doesn’t mean it was ever OK.

It's not ok but bringing it up to and on social media all the time cannot be good for their kids mental health but then you could look at it another way they choose to put their children through it.

Exactly. Seems like to Sue money trumps their children's wellbeing. Holidays,dogs and shopping are replacing babies. How sad. Hope the money is worth it. I also hope they're putting money away for therapy which will definitely be needed in a few years when the fame has run out.

I really think there should be regulation around how parents show their children on social media. The Radfords are making a fortune from putting their kids' lives out there, but those kids can't consent, so what happens in years to come when one of them wants their childhood to have been private?

Putting yourself out as a social media celebrity brings attention, positive and negative - it's not fair to land that burden on children who don't understand what it could mean for them. Those children must be teased in school; and what about the older ones who've missed out on all the fancy holidays etc that the younger ones get all the time? They've got to be asking whether it's fair.

Tattle is so harsh.

I actually found the adoption stuff a bit more interesting. Sue’s mum was very odd about it, how they don’t talk about it. I thought one of the boys was spot on saying he suspected his parents had lots of kids due to being adopted.

There’s a family in Leeds with 18 kids

I don't like the Sullivan's, I like the other family though the ex Mormons I think the lady in that has done brilliantly and they inspire their children to do stuff with their life.

Is that public knowledge?

That was the mother I think.

If it wasn't public knowledge then it is now because she spoke about it in the programme.

So to clarify, the mother was raped? Not the eldest daughter? I think you need to ask for your post to be removed as you have stated that the eldest daughter was raped.

you can search this newspaper article Teen Spice user chased girlfriend with a kitchen knife in Leeds
and it is about one of the children from the big family in Leeds
they are well known locally

It's all kicking off. See tattle. Looks like Millie posted a dig about not going to Florida and Sue gone back re saying Millie with a violent partner but keeps changing story and Millie saying going to the sun. The Sun has picked the story up.

I don’t believe that Sue is telling the whole truth about Millie’s partner and the holiday situation. She knows full well that any conviction of a crime like that would mean that he wouldn’t be able to enter America. She’s filled enough ESTAs in to be aware of that fact. I think she’s trying to limit the damage done to her “brand”.

Maybe Millie’s partner is violent to her and she’s trapped in that relationship? If she is then the girl needs help. She doesn’t need ostracising by her own family. Sue and Noel are quite happy to stand by their Sons who have been abusive to their partners. Chris abused the mother of his children and Daniel took all his exgirlfriend’s clothes, ripped her passport up and abandoned her abroad. That’s ok by Sue, though.

Sue and Noel have exploited their children since they were small. They used Millie’s kids before they were born. The money they have isn’t theirs and theirs alone. They’re not the only ones who earned it so I can see why Millie’s pissed off. She threatened to go to the Sun last night with more videos. I hope she does, because this circus needs stopping.
