Not sure if they count one child who passed away in that total or not.

I am shook that they can still find the time
Maybe they need to buy a tv with all that cennalink $$
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.

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.
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.
So true and that's one of the reasons why she won't send her kids to school as she was bullied.
I too hope when the kids are older they can escape and see what the real world is like. Maybe in for a shock when they see what work is like.
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?
I’ve
I’ve always wondered about Chloe’s relationship with her family. I know her sister live in Perth yet they really don’t seem to be overly close.. I guess even a simple catch up would be complicated when your sister has to bring her small crowd of children along. I couldn’t think of anything worse lol I think she’s probably always been the odd ball of the family, and it’s so obvious herself and Ro are just big children at heart themselves.

Also is it just me or does anyone else feel extremely uncomfortable and cringy watching their vlogs? I dunno, something about the way they all talk to each other gives me the heebie-jeebies

It really disgusts me to hear parents say things like “kids must support themselves / leave home at 18”. Obviously you want to teach your children to be independent and have the skills to look after themselves as adults, but they don’t magically develop these skills on the eve of their 18th birthday. I wish their kids all the very best for a more normal life when they’re older.
A poster above mentioned they lost a child- I don’t remember ever seeing this mentioned? Does anyone recall when this occurred?
I think that was referring to the Radford family who lost a child.( The UK's biggest family)
It’s really irresponsible to use Clomid unless you actually need it to conceive, as multiple pregnancies are much higher risk. I have three friends that have lost one or two of their multiples during pregnancy or in the birthing process; but these are naturally occurring multiples or IVF. To be able to conceive naturally and chose to sway it towards the higher risk multiples doesn’t sit comfortably with me. No longer a follower as too many red flags for me. Your parenting duties also don’t magically switch off at 18; they really haven’t thought properly about the prospect of having 10 young adults! Some might have additional needs that stop them from flying off and thriving at 18 on the button.
I always got the impression her family didn’t exactly agree with her decision to keep having children. Even at her wedding Becky said something like ‘yeah I won’t have 6 kids’ and I think in the tumblr days she was quite open that her family were annoyed she kept getting pregnant (and that was just with 3!).
I also got the impression that Becky initially struggled to conceive (though thankfully has her 2 now). If that’s the case it must have been so hard to see her little sister breed like a rabbit. Honestly, the fact that her mum left for Tasmania whilst her daughter has 9 kids says it all. Clearly Chloe got the idea of ‘independence at 18’ from somewhere (not that I blame her mum now she’s got this many kids).
Thanks Bizzie. I was talking about them! Usually when you post something else after the original, it gets added to the previous post, but not if someone else posts in between.
Oh that's interesting. I found Chloe when she took 6 kids to Queensland and met up with Ash from Join the Jacksons (og YouTuber). That looked like a nightmare.
It must be hard as I would imagine as family you want to help out but with so many kids it can be overwhelming.
Her page was called raisingirishtwins, tinytrio and houseofbeans but it’s long been deleted.
There’s a few archive screenshots floating around the old YTMD forum pages though

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
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
