Chloe and Beans

[Macmama]

Yep, if you watch the vlogs it's quite noticable how absent the older children are compared to the younger ones. It feels like the Sylvie show at the moment, as she's advanced with her speech and seems like a bright little thing. The older children are shown at the park and occasionally shown sat doing work books at the table, but unless i've missed it there have been zero updates on their academic abilities / schooling. Evan is 11 now, and I really worry about how far behind he is compared to his peers. His life seems to be constant visits to the park and playing with his younger siblings.

And this is where homeschooling is really unfair.

It’s easy to ‘homeschool’ little ones and have social play dates and take them to parks and free museums and natter on about how play is learning. Because for small children, it is.

Not for a child about to start secondary school education. Who actually needs to be learning the skills they need for formal examination and entry to university/college or an apprenticeship. They also need to be involved in their peer group. Teenagers need the space to do silly things and sometimes naughty things, but that’s growing up. They need space away from their parents to learn to formulate their own personality, values, behaviours amongst their peers. Those boys have not a moment to do that, other than being left alone with an iPad, which is NOT the same as face to face interaction.

So taking bets on how long til she announces baby number ten. I reckon before Xmas

 

[savefloss]

I’m sure the oldest kid will be driving soon and taking on way more responsibilities than appropriate before he knows it

 

[savefloss]

I've got 4 and honestly I'm at my absolute limit. Im CONSTANTLY reminding my eldest that her younger siblings are mot her responsibility and although its lovely she wants to help she absolutely does not have to. I don't understand how anyone has the resources or time for any more. Mine are 8 and under and I struggle with making sure my school aged children get to go to all the extra curricular clubs they want to attend/don't miss out on parties and play dates whilst making sure the baby/pre schooler aren't dumped in the sling/pushchair constantly taking the big ones to and fro and ensuring they actually get some time to play and explore and get to bed at a reasonable hour. How anyone does it with more without the big ones feeling like they need to parent the younger ones is beyond me.

The way they do it is depriving them of all normality. No school, no activities, no sports and no friends. They sit at home all day and then go for a walk to the park before bed. Those poor kids. It’s definitely a form of child abuse in my eyes. When the kids grow up and leave the nest and experience the real world they will definitely resent their parents for essentially containing them like animals in a pen.

She’s just addicted to this. She needs treatment, not another child.

 

[gotarealjob]

She is just dragging it out to stay relevant. So sad that poor tiny bub is already being put to work to try and up the engagement for her dying page

 

[crazycakelady]

Defo on the weight loss jabs she would share of it was gym and healthy eating

My baby is called Wren .. i am hoping it isn’t Wren 🫣

“I’d tell him not all mistakes can be erased and some things will have bigger consequences than you could ever imagine”

Bless anyone playing devils advocate. But a man is not writing that on a social media post unless he’s strayed. He’s even using third person pov to psychologically distance himself from accountability.

 

[Somethink less]

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.

Wow that was some intense reading! Some real eye opening statements there

 

[whatsmynameagain.]

Watching the video I genuinely felt sad for Pearl she looked lost amongst them all! And the fact she said they aren’t sure if it’s their last, come on girl 10 is more than enough you’re just tempting fate having anymore

 

[savefloss]

She’s lucky she didn’t lose this baby

 

[fakefriendsonthegram]

I love babies and children - so much that I have 4. 4 kids is a stretch in juggling everyones needs, spreading yourself thin to cover all needs are met. Surely there is a point where you have to stop? I just don't get it. I'd love to know what their families think about their breeding.

 

[GingerSquid]

I think these very large families make a lot of money on YouTube / instagram engagement from having more and more kids … it’s likely the baby news, gender reveals, introducing new baby etc videos that get the most hits. I followed Chloe and then suddenly I was hit up with all these other families with 6,8,10,12 kids !!! Insane .. no way you can give each child the individual attention they deserve, I have two and struggle to do as much as I’d like to with each child alone. I think some kids would be fine with it; but there will be one or two introverted souls in her brood, who need more quiet attention than she can give.

I often wonder if women like Chloe would still have so many children if they lived in a time before the internet..firstly they’d have zero income. She’d have to work in order to feed them… secondly, she’d be getting zero attention or infamy for having ten children. So would be she still want 10 if no one else gave two fucks about it!? Doubt it

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.

 

[Hellojanuary]

My baby is called Wren .. i am hoping it isn’t Wren 🫣

Have you considered Zorb or Wellington for any potential future babies?

 

[theweeklyblowout]

Yeah. Babies are like the glue that holds it all together. Not a healthy way to be at all.

I know everyone assumes Chloe controls Rohan but she was just 13 when she got together with him (at 17). She’s clearly the more dominant character but I think they both have some significant problems and co-dependency issues. He’s just as responsible for the problems these kids will inevitably have.

This is it.
I dont mention mental health lightly, or with criticism. I just don’t believe you live a life like this without severe underlying issues, and clearly they both have some unresolved ones.

I just watched the trip to the science centre. As far as I could see Chloe and Ro just played with the youngest four. Each of the eldest three had to look after a triplet in a different area. I could not see much education hapening. I think the older boys need someone to explain things to them and really challenge them.

It's the parentification that happens in every big family. The older kids aren't kids anymore they're more parents because the actual parents had too many kids to actually cope. The boys aren't going to actually be getting a proper home education and I hope that's picked up on in time for them to get an education they deserve
