Hi, first time poster here. I followed the FizzFam since Vegan Fitness TV when I was interested in veganism and fitness myself. It's so sad to see them go off the rails since those wholesome days when they lived in Norwich and then moved to Watford. They were sweet and earnest back then, I doubt they had many or any sponsors because they were promoting healthy living, cooking vegan food with low cost easily available ingredients and keeping fit in a sustainable way. I remember Georgie talking like she'd practised her script full of researched information and they didn't show the kids except in the background occasionally. It was nice when they moved onto family-focused acitivities and integrating their lifestyle in an approachable way. Like many longtime viewers I then also started losing interest when they left GC and started doing superficial money-based challenges.
I feel they all have two weird sides to them, except Sienna who is a really sweet girl (Karma is just a horrid brat).
Darren - I think he's a good dad and he's supported Georgie and the kids. But that's as far as it goes, as everyone else has commented the views he peddles on education come from someone who didn't bother being educated himself for whatever reason and resents/puts down anyone who has. Case in point Georgie, who actually put in the effort to do a BA in English as a mature student because I think she wanted to be a good mum/role model to her kids but Darren puts her down and has talked so dismissively about it she barely mentions it and puts herself down as well. I hate that. Also anyone else who screams internally whenever he eats, he doesn't know how to use cutlerly and uses a fork as a shovel. Get some good table manners ffs.
Georgie - she has such a split personality I don't even know where to begin. She has been a great mum and raised her two kids realy well, they were both such sweet and grateful girls. But she's gone bonkers lately. Totally unccessary to have a kid so soon after Karma, I am two weeks younger than Georgie and dont have kids yet - I don't want to be cynical about a family I used to like but it just seemed like they got tonnes of cash from Karma and that's why she's such a special child to them, and didn't want the dollah flow to end so got preggers asap. Georgie saying there is something special about Karma, she's a complete brat. They don't discipline her at all.
Mia - her IG and YT channel are shocking. Poor girl. All that inappropriate nudity, bad camera angles and she looks sooo unhealthy. I was vegan for a number of years and no disrespect but she does not look the picture of health. Also colouring book??? When I was 15 I was not drawing in colouring books, I was studying like mad and dreaming about going to university. Even if academia is not your thing, surely posing in front of your camera all day and making colour-in drawings of yourself is the most narsessitic and ridiculous thing ever. Someone needs to tell her that self-publishing is super cringe and she needs to think about something other than her bubble. School is not a picnic, slapping on a filter and editing a video won't get you far in life. All those awkward selfies littering her IG and no friends or social life, ouch. I feel for her, with Georgie and Darren motivating this behaviour as she's the only one doing work and clearly the cash cow.
Sienna - my fav! She is honestly so sweet and like everyone else I am extremely sad her dreams of being a scientist are being crushed by her stupid parents. They tell her she can be anything but that's just a vicious lie. No parent should say that without enabling their kid to reach this goal.
Karma - what can I say. I felt bad for disliking her but she's the most horrid baby I've ever seen.
Koa - he's got squinty eyes but i guess they won't sort it out just like he wasn't vacinated either, and therefore is not put into playgroups or any other form of social interaction. It's such a shame.
Is this about you Georgie or about your kids? I enjoy interior decorating videos and like this one too, but this is a family-oriented channel and should get the kids involved and somehow Georgie's boob situation doesn't seem appropriate (could just be me tho idk).
home education can work so well if parents consider the character of the child (it doesn't benefit all) and make sure they are integrated socially and work in tandem with a national curriculum.
. I can't believe they didn't notice that when editing the video.
