I used to think the only good thing the ingham family did for their kids was actually send them to school but it seems their stupidity on the internet lead to their eldest being bullied, which is why she wanted to be homeschooled. Tbh, Mia would likely be picked on too in a British secondary school for the things she’s done on YouTube. I think G and D are just as bad as Chris and Sarah, both have used their kids inappropriately to make money, in particular using images of them in bathing costumes as clickbait. Of course Darren’s never had any allegations of doing anything as disgusting as Chris ingham has, but he also uses his teenage step daughter in revealing outfits as clickbait. Both families have an eldest daughter from a previous relationship who’s been cut off from her biological dad as well, and said daughters are used the most for inappropriate. I used to think family fizz were way better than the ingham family when really they’ve got just as many issues but I was just blinded to them for longer. G and D making their youngest kids perform for the camera and their eldest two pose in bikinis, is just as bad as S and C selling a doll of their little boy, both are selling their kids just in different forms.One comment I'd make RE: Mia not having friends her own age and only hanging out with younger siblings, hence being likely to talk about childish things until adulthood. The Ingham Family send their kids to school (although last year when the UK closed schools, they took an extended holiday abroad all summer and apparently have taken their kids off the school registers so legally they are classed as home-schooled or 'receiving education by otherwise means than school' as the Education Act phrases it) but they seem to not allow the girls to play with friends in their own age group. The oldest girl has two maternal half-sisters who are 4 and 7 years younger than her and it seems odd that her parents push her to play with her young siblings rather than let her have friends near her own age. So it's not an issue reserved for home-educated kids. I agree that G and D, in particular, are controlling of the kids so they aren't letting them do things outside the home so the problem is exacerbated.
I agree. I used to have more respect for Georgie and Darren and in particular thought that Georgie was an amazing mum. But they've gone down considerably in my estimation and are no worse than the Inghams in a lot of ways.I used to think the only good thing the ingham family did for their kids was actually send them to school but it seems their stupidity on the internet lead to their eldest being bullied, which is why she wanted to be homeschooled.

Has no one ever told Mia not to wear colours that are similar to her skin tone?? A pic she posted on her insta came up on my discover page of her in a nude swimming costume, and I had to do a double take lmaooo
I'm pretty sure her mum gave it to her for her birthday so it wasn't her who chose it.Probably intentional
I think she’s really insecure about her skin but her parents are too stupid and against proper medicine to get her help. I also thought it was kinda funny how she was struggling to stay awake at like 11pm. Most 16 year olds are only just getting ready for bed at that time. At the start of the video she said she’d usually be winding down for the night but that was like 7pm. I get it’s good to have a good routine of going to be early and waking up early but usually 9-10pm is the earliest anyone over 12 will go to bed really. I just found it weird how it seems like Mia’s never even stayed up late watching YouTube or tv, or reading before, when most people do it all the time.I just watched Mias “all nighter” vid...why didn’t she remove her makeup before showering? Wtf
The way they educate their kids seems so weird. There's another world travelling family I sometimes watch on YouTube called WorldTowning who also have a 16 year old daughter. The difference is their daughter seems to be getting the kind of education I wish I could have gotten. She speaks English, Spanish, French and some Japanese, took her SATs last year, is SCUBA certified and RYA Skipper Certified and they are always taking their kids to different classes in different countries, Tofu making in Japan, Dutch clog making in the Netherlands, bread baking in Morrocco. She also is learning business skills like Mia but she runs her own business doing Language Tutoring and a book club which are obviously things that look much better on a CV. They did a video last year {called something along the lines of RV Schooling a Middle School child) on the way they were schooling their 12 year old and they seem to put so much work into making sure they properly educate their children and socialize them. The 12 year old is regularly mentioned as being part of an online D&D group with kids around the world.Interesting they seem to think what is essentially a permanent vacation is adequate education. As if there is something inherently valuable about doing workbooks in an empty apartment just because it's ... in Mexico.. and not in Brighton? Even if there was something inherently valuable, what meaningful connection do any of them have to Mexican culture? They have no Mexican friends, not even the kids. They move from luxury airbnb to airbnb and call it cultural exposure because maybe they have to buy Spanish branded tofu. Any cultural exposure could only come from living in the community which they don't.
Not to mention the fact it's one of 6 countries they've lived in since 2018. There is only so much kids can keep separate when it is all the same blur of holiday apartments.
I worry so much for Sienna. Mia just creeps me out at this point with her weird blend of too childish and too adult, the unfounded confidence. I would feel bad but it's too much cringe.
I think Taira is in danger of starting to head down a similar road though, especially when she pulled the kids who were in school out to go to Croatia. It seems like the ones who go to school go for a few months, then get pulled out, then go again - and this started even before COVID. I get the impression she really doesn’t want the kids to go to school, but the younger ones want to so she lets them but never seems to let them settle before they’re being pulled out again.I always find myself comparing their home-schooling to Taira's family (a smaller YouTuber with 6 children, mostly home schooled) and it's shocking. They are an example of how home schooling CAN be great. But it really does have to be done properly!
I think this tactic was also used on Sienna. By pulling her out and moving schools every few months it is no wonder she “chose” to be homeschooled. It must be so hard constantly settling. I can just imagine it. First day in class when wouldn’t have the right books or they would just be finishing some project so she’d miss out and just be muddling through. They’d start the next thing or she’d finally get all her logins and books, be engrossed in the new topics and then poof father Airbnb lease would be up, time for a new school. I’d rather stay home too.I think Taira is in danger of starting to head down a similar road though, especially when she pulled the kids who were in school out to go to Croatia.

She’s definitely providing a much better standard of education than the FizzFam though, especially for the older ones who seem to enjoy studying.
I've no idea what the houses are that they are renting if it's air bnb or similar but it could be due to renting short term lets - they don't want to rent somewhere for 12 months so not looking at long term, but then a maybe the short-term lets they choose they can only stay for a maximum amount of time so they might be forced to move on. Or someone else has booked it after them so they can't extend it..Would love to know why they can’t stay in the same place for more than a few weeks, as mentioned before seems like they’re running from something...
Completely agree that short term rentals are difficult, but maybe this should tell them it’s not the right thing to be doing. They seem incapable of staying in the same country even and giving their children any kind of stability. They always say how much they love whichever country they’re in so much, there must be another motive for moving around constantly.

I haven't watched this particular video yet, but I have to question why georgie and Darren are encourage mia think about driving when they move countries so often? Rules of the road will be different depending on the country it would get far to difficult to learn. they should choose a country and settleI feel conflicted after watching Mia’s driving video. She looked so happy and the atmosphere of the video was cool, but in the same time D and G are irresponsible letting her to drive this type of car. Even when D was driving it at the beginning with Koa and Karma onboard without the car seats, car without even doors and windows. In case of a smallest crash or hard braking they would flew outside on the road.
As far as I recall Georgie doesn't drive (I think she mentioned not having a license in a vlog but I don't remember which one) so maybe they're hoping Mia can partially take over the driving particularly things for her and maybe Sienna.I haven't watched this particular video yet, but I have to question why georgie and Darren are encourage mia think about driving when they move countries so often?
