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
E 1 - Chloe’s pregnancy takes a worrying turn

They can't possibly do any clubs like brownies/cubs, or sport. How would you get them all there with that many children. Such a shame. Prob could do after school stuff but even that could be a nightmare logistically.
I only have two (now early 20s) and they've been relatively easy, a few mid teen issues, but they have needed a fair amount of input from me and DH, and still do for certain things. I've no idea how I'd cope with that many DCs.
A couple of the boys play in football teams. I agree, it must all be a logistical nightmare!

I don’t know why Noel wasn’t pulled up on it
but the same thing is said every thread and eventually it goes poof and gets taken down
we know she was underage and therefore rape
so can we stop keep mentioning their age when she had Chris
or this thread will be pulled. Thanks

I think it's sad with so many kids and after one reaches the age of 4/5 when they need less physical attention they get left to their own device or older siblings for entertainment as there are another 4 behind that child that needs more attention for being a pre schooler, 2 toddlers, 1 baby and sue pregnant again. Just because they go on holiday, have a birthday, get fed and dressed doesn't mean their emotional well being is met. As many have pointed out with that many kids, a few would need orthodontic attention, speech, sen and even bullying at school, especially being on TV and social media all the time which doesn't help. Which kid would you attend to or pull out of school because of bullyIng as you can't pull them out otherwise the other 6 sibling in the same school will also need to change schools and it would be a logistical nightmare.

Why are all these posters watching a Tele programme about them then?! This thread is in telly addicts. People don't normally use the thread to slag them off in Tele addicts it's literally here to chat about the episodes when they air
I think the problem is that this family are always bragging about their wealth now. It's always in the papers or online how much they are spending, you can't get away from it. So whilst this thread is going to talk about the tv programme, obviously posters are going to talk about other things they constantly see about them too.
The tide is definitely turning, where once people liked watching a programme about how someone manages with that many kids, now people are angry that they have the lifestyle of millionaires when they haven't worked for it.
The whole programme was a set up from start to finish anyway. Sue came out of the water on the great north swim with a different coloured swimming cap from the one she went in with!!

Mmm the thread in Tele addicts isn't usually this long this soon I'm not convinced every poster is watching it. Threads aren't as enjoyable if it consists of a load of slagging off. Might just ignore this then
So we're not allowed to discuss the family who the programme is about? Okaaaay.

Must be manic at home
but yes be nice to see them picked up at school. Homework /reading. Tea. Bath bed
tue dd5 has swimming lessons. So have tea in car on way home - then reading play and bed
thur has gym at school so a later tea at home. Then has reading to do and bed
you never see any friends round unless they don’t want their kid on tv

The scene with Chloe coming out of the toilet was so obviously fake/set up
last year they went to Florida twice,Maldives,New York snd Disney Paris plus multiple breaks in that motor home.
kids are wild and look unkept and there basic needs ie teeth/possible learning needs are not met
this family annoys me but also fascinates me

They need their kids to have babies so they have something to film.
So many (in my opinion) set ups;
Chloe bleeding / ambulance
Millie's second pregnancy announcement
Drink spilled onto two christening dresses
Power cut in the new bakery
Left Christmas shopping to the last min

It is clear that companies sponsor their holidays and material acquisitions because they know they will be featured on TV/twitter etc. It's a no brainer for them. Cheap advertising.
It is time they stopped televising this sick saga of dysfunctional family life.
I used to work with adopted children and mothers with problems. I do think the desire to create blood relatives is strong. But 22 is seriously pathological.

Remember the tv show with the counsellor who helped celebrities?
This would be a good episode.

I always think that if reality TV needs to be made up and scripted then it's no longer reality.
Of course it is. Being a stupidly big family doesn't automatically make you interesting. That set up re the christening dresses was blatantly set up. Their acting is atrocious LOL. It's embarrassing to watch.
