same. its like if Kaci was to get a gift that had so much thought and meaning behind it and was from the pound shop she would hate it. I like the realness and how they don't hide anything like how greedy and spoiled Kaci came across they left it in any other vlogger would have cut it out but they just say this is us
i do think kaci can act spoiled but i love how genuine they are and actually care about giving back, unlike certain other families (cough cough inghams)

They aretaking time of youtube for a break for a few weeks it frustrates me that they all state they need breaks when they work from home doing a few videos aweek if only we all could have a successful job that didn't take as much effort

It must have also been hard editing so they probably put it off until they were ready to besides they also needed to think about everyone (Sarah's family) and whether they were ok with the upload/when they uploaded too

So pleased to see their donating the revenue from today’s video to various charities. Really nice of them especially at a time like this.

That north face coat was really nice! I feel bad if my mums got me something for a tenner and a I don't really like it, it really does make me feel so bad imagine getting a 200 pound coat and confidentially saying you don't like it! So spoilt

Even their socks seem to need to be designer

I think people are forgetting they had money and bought high end/designer things before Youtube, they just show it more on camera now. I’d rather they showed what they’re actually like than buy cheaper stuff on camera for the sake of being “relatable”. I liked the concept of the video but there’s other videos of theirs I preferred, tbh I think Joel hyped it up a bit too much beforehand 😂

As soon as they grow, their lifestyle changes and they all end up with the same TESLAS, open plan grey homes etc and it becomes all about “ look what we’ve bought” and it’s literally the same things as every other You Tuber. It’s not style because it’s not individual and there’s following trends but people look to YT for inspiration/relatability not same old lifestyle rehashed.

The thing is they can’t hide that mentality because they’ll be called out for it at some point because they’ve bought a 100 grand car or done whatever. Like look how many families like the Sacconejolys used to get 400,000 k per vid and now get 30- 40 k.

REALLY love the vlog where they surprised Roland, makes a lot of sense why he's around so much now as he's probably alone when not with his kids. Sure he was driving before so must have had to sell/give his car to the ex in the divorce. It was a really sweet thing to do as the car would've cost at least 8k!

Wasn’t mad on the last to fall asleep challenge. I kind of thought it was a bit lacking. Like, with their videos, they’re usually well put together. Yeah they’re sat around for a lot out usually break it up with challenges and stuff to make the video interesting. But this was very dull I thought. Started off well but once the parents went to bed it was just Kaci off talking to her friends and Grace left on her own. No wonder she gave up.
I do think it’s good that the kids have actual life and it’s not a ‘drop everything for YouTube’ situation with them but it seems like they’re less bothered these days. Same with the last to leave the beach/10000 calorie challenge. It’s like there was no effort put in which is a shame.
I think they’ve definitely fallen into the ‘we’re big youtubers now. We don’t have to try as hard’

Grace really made my heart hurt in that video! She's honestly such a credit to her parents, you can tell she's so emphatic and genuinely wants the best for everyone around her. I don't think they are too young for the conversation about Sophie as they seemed to have already known about it - just not that the life expectancy was still a current issue Sophie faced maybe? I also think they should know as IF God forbid, anything happens, they have this time to cherish everyday. Grace and Kaci both looked very shocked at Sarah and Joel's mental health journeys too - I think Grace might be a bit young for that conversation.

They went to london last weekend and Kaci always seems to have her mask on under her nose.
She probably did pick it up from school but I can imagine she doesnt wear her mask right there either.
Youre allowed to go to London, they didnt break any rules and she clearly didnt catch it from there.
In the video, we can see whenever Kaci talks, the mask moves off her face and goes down. It happens to most people. She was also seen correcting it more times than not.

Also, just because a tiktok is posted today doesnt mean it was filmed today. I think we need to remember we really dont know what happens in their home, who they socialise and what rules they're following and what they're breaking. Compared to a lot of other Youtubers, they're doing really well imo. Also, if Kaci was with her friends in her home, yes it was reckless but those girls are in her bubble surely? So she would have got it regardless of being at home or at all school. It makes no difference, this is why its so hard to police teens on socialisation. How does it make sense to tell them you can mix in schools but not outside of school?

I've gone off them recently but I dont think I can fault them for this. Sophie is most likely high risk but so is Joel. They're obviously taking their own precautions and weighing up their options.

I love this family but Chloe stopped being cute a long time ago. They enable her terrible behaviour and she’s a spoiled brat. She’s a classic example of a child who’s grown up being on camera and the reason family vloggers mess their kids up
I agree 100%. I don't think she is cute at all. She acts like that because they have allowed her to. She is 3 and a half years old and stil drinking from a baby bottle... You can already see that her teeth are damaged from that. They need to stop treating her like a 'Cute little baby' and start treating her like a child or her behaviour is just going to get worse.

Sophie on the other hand really is a little cutie!

I think it was said on here that Joel’s parents gave the house to him and his brother so I’m guessing he payed rent to his brother whilst they lived there. It was probably just for ease that he called his brother their landlord as might be a bit hard to explain. Plus it makes them more relatable if they’re renting from a seemingly random landlord and not just paying rent to a family member for a house you also partly own. Also, it would probably be a little controversial if viewers found out what Joel’s parents do and make them less relatable in their rags to riches story if they knew he came from a very wealthy family. I understand that him and Sarah having kaci at 18 probably meant their parents made them move out and start their own lives, but I think viewers who have no idea what Joel’s side of the family do and only know that Sarah didn’t have a lot growing up probably think they came from nothing. I don’t have anything wrong with them not sharing everything but it does put things more into perspective the more you know.
They also forgot to mention they still own the maisonette property that they moved from (that roland currently lives in, watch his videos for the layout) so they were getting rental income from that and probably have no mortgage on that anymore either. AND Joel worked for HIS DAD and so do the rest of his siblings so no, he really didn’t get where he was all on his own. His parents may have left them for a while when they had Kaci but looking at Joel’s parents religious backgrounds it makes sense why this was but they still took him back in to give him a well paying, stable job within their company which led him to buy the maisonette and they mustve helped with the deposit anyway as Sarah says there new property is the only one they did all by themselves. I find it very disingenuous sometimes as they make it seem like it was them v everyone else when that clearly wasn’t the case at all. They still had supportive parents and families and were still privileged enough to live a very comfortable life before YouTube.

The question was which friend do you dislike the most, he gave a reasonable reason tbh he didn’t say he didn’t like him just that he didn’t know him and if he met him that could change. I don’t find that offensive. And yes living in a hostel and moving 11 times since kaci was born, I get what their saying this is their first house they own as a family without help but I do agree shouldve thanked the followers who helped them get there.

i felt today’s video was just not it. they don’t seem to be the same. i rewatched one of the earlier shopping challenges from around to years ago. the main differences:
one the children get things. this they don’t.
they don’t have to do ridiculous challenges to get lunch (ik it’s for interest i just didn’t like it)
and they seemed so rich. i don’t know just all the designer stuff and apple stuff it just didn’t sit right IMO.
I usually really enjoy their videos but it does bug me a little that they’re teaching their (older) girls to be so materialistic and obsessed with brands.

Kaci (I assume) thinks she’s going to be a mega- successful YTer who’s going to be able to buy designer goods for life.

What would happen if they went into a career like nursing and couldn’t afford to drop hundreds on a pair of trainers. Are they going to be financially supported for life? It just irks me that they’re not really teaching them the value of money and Joel and Sarah are giving them very expensive tastes, which they may not be able to afford in future. Like 50 for one meal for one person is ridiculous. That may be their food budget for the week in the future.

I think there’s a massive difference in how they parent Sophie and Chloe to Kaci and Grace. They seem to be very disciplined with the younger girls while the older ones are taught to be obsessed with brands because their parents are.

Me & my daughter watched it together & I thought it was a good idea & interesting concept. I have to say I really do like them especially Sarah. I have a soft spot for Kaci as well I thought she spoke really well regarding why doctors should be paid more.
