Didn't realise this family had a thread. I used to keep up with them and I'm genuinely shocked she's pregnant again. I'd be interested to know how much say Ro has in this, or whose idea so many babies was.

I'd also like to say, I'm one of 8 kids, and the oldest girl. My mum was a stay at home mum and even with that my parents could not give us all the individual attention we deserved. I cannot recall a single time where I had time with one parent alone, never mind both of them. 4 of us no longer live at home and 4 still do (teenagers) and now there's less kids there they can do things like one on one activities, family holidays (the only holidays I had as a child was outings with clubs or school, there was too many of us). My parents don't make much effort with those of us who have moved out (I haven't actually spoken to either of them this year) and I maintain that they had more kids than they could handle. Its really messed me up emotionally, I constantly feel as though I have to be caring for others and I cannot bring myself to take a break or do things for me. This is not a lifestyle any child deserves.

Oh look at that, another life threatening birth experience. It’s irresponsible and actually unhinged for her to continue having babies. I’m glad they’re both okay but I really hope this is the last baby.

10 kids. I know it's their choice. But its too many kids and places more strain on a health system that can't cope.
10 children is far too many. I really think they should have stopped after the triplets. They just can't give the children what they need, and removing them from school just further isolates them. The older boys used to be quite far ahead, but as more and more children have come along it's clear they're just not getting enough attention or support. The older ones are left to coast, while Chloe spends her time sorting out the younger children (who obviously require more attention and help) Their education seems to have taken a back seat, and instead of tutors for foreign languages, it's now boring workbooks sat at the table. Chloe's whole identity is wrapped up in being a mum, and while that's lovely for the short term it's just not sustainable. I really think she's going to struggle with the children growing up and wanting to leave home / do their own things as she needs to feel wanted by someone. 😔

So you haven’t intentionally been keeping people waiting BUT you posted this photo and wrote all of those words but STILL didn’t include her name?? I’d say withholding the name is pretty intentional which is fine but don’t pretend it’s an accident.

A diagnosis in a child is often when the doctor will see it in the parent and suggest testing so highly likely one or more of them has been diagnosed....it's great that she isn't willing to share that information with us or use it for views

I find it very scarey that she was rushed into a c section, asleep (again) at 2 weeks late. If she was a different person I would feel sure she will stop now but it's her ...
I wonder what her doctor is rated, letting her go SO late with her bad record. (again)

the baby is mini Rufus .. wowww
Yup that’s a crash csection, not your typical emergency csection. Sedated mother = there was no time.

I'm not a medical professional so maybe I'm wrong but surely with her being high risk, a scheduled section or induction if she was going for VBAC at 39-40 weeks would have been much safer? I cannot think why they would let her go two weeks over.

I also don't think she's done, and in terms of the home educating this really concerns me. The eldest children are coming to a time now where (where I'm from anyway, nor sure on the aussie system) they will start to learn things that will be used in exams, or the basics of things that will be used in exams. Does she really have the time/energy/knowledge to be giving them that proper education? I know universities can take alternative proof for home schooled children if they don't sit coursework or all the exams but it really just looks like they go to the park or read and thats it. I feel sorry for every one of those children.

Does she only wear overalls? How many colours do they come in?
Coveralls to cover the massive gunt from back to back pregnancies for years without allowing her body to recover.

As a child from a large family, this is fucked. I’ve said it before and I stand by it; none of these children are getting adequate love, care and attention to emotionally develop into healthy adults. They’re in for a lifetime of issues and Centrelink.

I find the hypocrisy between her obsession with “subtly” sharing how advanced her babies are vs how stunted the intelligence of her older children are to be very entertaining. She obviously doesn’t recognise the cognitive dissonance here 😂

There’s a major difference to being a few days over on your first or second pregnancy whilst under midwife/ doctor supervision compared to openly gloating about being over due with your tenth child after a triplet, twin and 5 other singleton births..I hope she’s not planning on a home birth too. I seriously can’t stand these anti intervention danger warriors. Good for you if you went over and everything was fine, but it sends a dangerous message and the stats of things going wrong don’t lie

Found a bunch of screenshots from her old Tumblr posts.
Interesting to note that she was 13 (and drunk) and her husband was 17 when they first got together.
And it doesn’t seem like she has ever had a close relationship with her mum.

10 kids is an absolute joke, the poor things. Here I am sad thinking we can’t afford to have a third (in more ways than just financially in todays world)… and here they are popping out a tenth 🤣🤣🤣🤣

I’ve been following them since back in the Tumblr days when she was pregnant with their third son and desperate for a girl, so after him they tried for their fourth (who they were adamant was their last) and ended up pregnant with the triplets.

She has always had a weird thing with even numbers so it’s not surprising that they’ve gone for baby number 10.
I remember she was disappointed when she found out the triplets were boy/boy/girl seeing as it made everything uneven and every other combination would’ve had even numbers, so it won’t even surprise me if they keep going until they’ve got an even number of boys and girls.

I just feel bad for the kids; for so long they’ve had no socialisation, no friends other than their siblings, no extra-curriculars. It’s insane to me that they’d just keep putting the needs of their existing kids on the backburner just to have more babies.

There’s probably some low self esteem going on and need for attention and acknowledgement from the general public. She has literally achieved nothing other than giving birth to a tonne of babies. All she has ever got attention or notoriety for is giving birth to a bunch of babies. It’s sad that it’s all she knows… from what I can tell, she’s never had a tertiary education, never traveled, never had any major life experience before spitting about the first kid ultra young. It’s all very sad really. I hope those older kids get to experience real life and can expose/ free the younger kids from their rainbow home school prison at some point.

I have a really sick feeling in my stomach after reading all of that! Meeting your future husband as a drunk 13 year old 🚩
Each to their own but if I was in her situation at her age then my parents would absolutely tell me (in a nice way) to chill out on the baby front until my partner and I were in a more stable position! I just hope those kids have friends around them outside their own family and providing the social nourishment they need.
If my husband and I were 22, had $800 in our savings and were trying for our fourth kid in less than three years I actually think my parents would’ve had a heart attack 😅

From what I’ve seen over the years they have no actual friends.
Chloe used to make it seem like they had plenty of socialisation but was literally just referring to when they’d go to the park and see other children (unknown to them) there sometimes.

I feel bad for the children … they basically now know what they will be getting for their future birthdays … no individuality when it comes to gifts and it looks like she waits for birthdays to get them things they desperately need eg shoes .. they asked for shoes at Christmas as they were too small.
I can’t stand it when parents do this. I know of someone who made their children use birthday/Christmas money to buy clothes. Not expensive clothes they wanted but clothes they needed! It’s rotten. Birthdays/christmas are for a little bit of indulgence and giving your kids what they really want!

I can understand if it’s a teenager that wants a pair of £200 trainers or something - it’s an extravagance at that point and they probably don’t want anything else. But for younger children absolutely not, get them some toys or something interesting
