Chloe and Beans

[Bizziebody]

High school dropout homeschooling a tribe of multi aged kids is not a flex.
I shudder to think how those kids would even fit in with a class of students the same age as themselves.

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

I was thinking the same thing.

I feel sorry for the kids. Another baby, what are they going to do all day? While Chloe is with the baby? Ro must be exhausted.

It’s a very restrictive life, isn’t it. Some of their kids definitely won’t thank them for it later down the line. I’m not saying they are doing a bad job at all; but that size family isn’t for all types of children / intrinsic personality. My mums best friend had six children; some of them loved it and some didn’t … in retrospect the parents should have stopped at 3 or 4 max, as 6 pushed them too much to their limits (now divorced). There is a reason most people have 1-3 max, resources, time, finances, opportunities!

 

[GingerSquid]

Reading the above has me convinced she is definitely trying to fill some sort of hole inside herself. Wanting a girl, then wanting even number of kids, then wanting even numbers of boys and girls … just stop with the want, want, want … some couples struggle to conceive and would be delighted with one or two children of either sex.

Gosh I have been following her since before the triplets and even I am shocked at some of those screenshots… especially at how adamant she was about 4 kids and not wanting to be changing nappies for the next 10 years. Also lol that her least preferred triplet combo was BBG

 

[Puppet]

Surely that should say

11 years old no school

 

[MedeaWho]

Yup, having 10 babies is incredibly selfish.

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.

I too have been following them since back in the day!!!! I remember that Tumblr era so well. Everything you say is 100% correct.

Also they used Clomid (a drug that triggers ovulation) and ended up with triplets so I can 100% count that this is how they got the twins as well.

And she always used to say how Rohan earned $50k a year a a baker (this would have been in like 2013 or 2014 and that it was "more than enough" to raise a family. And how at 18 the kids would have to support themselves. Well isn't their eldest son like 12 or something? Are they really going to say "seeya" in 6 years when they've homeschooled him his whole life with no real life work or socialisation skills?

And I do remember that back in the day they both had pretty bad relationships with their own families. Especially Chloe with her parents. That's why they ended up moving to Perth maybe?

Strongly disagree. It absolutely is a bad thing for him to have cheated. Cheating is never ok and it's never about the person who got cheated on. If he has problems with all the kids they have, he shouldn't be repeatedly knocking her up. I'm sorry but this guy groomed her, repeatedly impregnated her, and now has supposedly cheated on her... that's all on him. If you're unhappy with your marriage, put your big boy/girl pants on and work on it or leave.

Chloe sucks but she didn't deserve to get cheated on. And acting like it's ok for Ro to have done what he did because it must have "opened her eyes" is victim blame-y and misogynistic. As if he had no part in popping that litter out

 

[savefloss]

Wow just wow….I’m reading this and just feeling so sad that my tax pays for this low IQ grubs to continually breed and sponge off the government…yuck. Those poor kids

 

[Macmama]

Well done Tattle, as usual

I can’t fathom 10 kids. We have four. We felt that was the absolute limit of how big our family could grow, and still give each of our children the time and attention individually that they deserved, as well as leaving us comfortable in our finances.

I realise family size is a personal choice, but I think it’s irresponsible to parent the way Chloe and Ro do on the whole. It’s all for how it looks on the ‘gran and not for what their children actually need. It’s exploitation and it ought to be illegal.

Gizmo

I am wetting myself at Gizmo.. not because its outrageous but because it's something they would actually consider

 

[Mz BW]

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

 

[BethanyGilbert]

That baby was so overdue it doesn't even look like a newborn!

 

[Director of Mugs]

I'm almost sure Pearl was the one who loved school when they were allowed to attend. She seemed to thrive and I remember feeling upset on her behalf that she was made to leave as it didn't suit the other siblings. Because heaven forbid the children should be individuals, who are allowed to do something different.

I remember that too. Pearl got to meet some new friends and if might be nice to have some girls her own age to play with.

I also think they split up the triplets so they weren't in the same.class.

The kids need a break from their parents and vice versa. They are trapped with them 24/7.

 

[Director of Mugs]

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.

I noticed that too. That's a good point that the older kids don't get to an activity there that's suitable for their age. It's just look after a sibling.

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

Chloe made a big thing a couple of videos ago showing what work they do. It still seems like it's self taught through work books or the ipad.

I wonder if the kids are on the same level as kids who to school.

Can they example write about what they learnt at Scitech. Or is it Mum had her phone out filming as I watched a triplet. Dad has 3 kids strapped to him.

I think it maybe worth a try just taking them to school activities in small groups so they can get the full experience.

Leave Chloe at home with the younger kids.

 

[Pivot]

Let's hope she stops after this one. Ridiculous amount of children.

 

[mickaela86]

Absolutely ridiculous. Those poor kids would not be getting the attention they need or deserve

 

[foxtrotuniformcharliekilo]

Here we go. Trying for #11 incoming

I wonder if she has a pair of crotchless overalls she uses for "trying time"
