I don’t know if I’m just reading too much into it but in my opinion it was a bit odd when Sienna said in today’s video that she wrote a note for Georgie because Georgie was putting Koa to bed last night so Sienna wasn’t able to go in the room and say goodnight to her so she wrote it on a note instead and Georgie saw the note the next day. Sienna is nine years old and Georgie didn’t even make sure she was in bed and that she was okay? what excuse is there to not say goodnight to your little girl? she is just as important as the other three kids. Fair enough if Darren said goodnight to her but something about it was quite sad almost like Sienna is forgotten about. I’d understand if Georgie was unwell and went to bed early but I don’t see how putting Koa to sleep meant Sienna wasn’t able to say goodnight to her. Georgie could of said goodnight to Sienna first and then put Koa to sleep if she’s worried about noise or something. The note was sweet but the reason behind why it was written I thought was a bit sad.
My heart goes out to Sienna. She is the sacrificial goat in the family and is going to require major counselling later in life. Mia is the star because she earns them income. Koa and Karma seem to be somewhat protected from having a camera shoved in their face 24/7 and get a lot of undivided attention from the parents. Sienna (who was one of the key reasons they actually got viewers and she appeared on the Little Big Shots UK show) just seems to be used to earn views with no regard for her mental health. She smiles, she doesn't seem to lose her temper, she has a zest for life and learning yet they neglect her needs and emotionally abuse her. I find it heartbreaking. You get glimpses of how hurt she feels (like in the video where Georgie said her favorite child is Mia) yet she continues to smile and has no choice but to play along with their "game". It is tragic.
Recap
- Georgie is very pro breastfeeding and posts as Karma on Karma's Instagram referring to herself as "milk machine" or something similar
- Georgie believes fasting can kill cancerous cells
- Mia was removed from the country without her biological dad's permission and he has completely lost contact with him. She claims to want nothing to do with him but he was in her life until age 12. G + D support her not wanting contact with him, the turning point in their relationship appears to have been him not being entirely supportive of the FF turning vegan.
- Mia is oversexualised and almost always posted in a bikini or revealing outfit
- Mia and Sienna have a sad excuse for homeschooling which includes 10 minutes a day of Maths for Sienna (although she sometimes does more as she enjoys it).
- Mia is not getting GCSE's or qualifications as she thinks she won't need them and she spends her day on projects like her colouring book and her other books (although not apparently reading any fiction books and very limited non-fiction)
- Mia's Spanish is not as good as they all seem to think it is
- Mia's art is not as good as they all seem to think it is
- Sienna is the obvious unfavourite and seems to go to Mia for comfort rather than her parents
- Sienna is basically being bullied on camera by her family for videos with titles such as "being mean to Sienna for 24 hours"
- Karma is the golden child, she apparently demands a lot of attention and she always opens her sibling birthday presents without being scolded
- Darren rarely appears on camera and most of his appearances are as a disembodied voice from behind the camera
- They are now in another country which means since 2020 they have gone from Dubai > UK > Portugal > Mexico > Wherever they are now (possibly Costa Rica) but they don't do anything in the countries other than chill in big expensive AirBNBs
- Don't wear masks or vaccinate their kids
- Video's are becoming more and more sporadic and they seem unable to keep to an upload schedule
- Believe mainstream TV is brainrot, but apparently their videos are not
- Say they are minimalist but buy lots of presents for video content and then just donate them to the charity shop every time they move which comes across as a complete disregard for material items in a bad way
- Come across very cult-like, all dressing the same and kids seem to be expected to agree with the parents beliefs even if they are setting up their kids for failure

We all know that Sienna is not dyslexic and she has no learning issues. She was a bright little girl in school in Gran Canaria and when they first moved to Brighton she was doing great at school too for her age. Her handwriting is like this at almost 10 years old because of neglect and it’s Georgie and Darrens fault. Her handwriting is how a three year old would write. It’s awful and I can barley read it she can barely write her own name. My heart is broken for her there is no excuse for this and I’m disgusted at Darren and Georgie they should be ashamed of themselves.

Off the current Mia topic but...this is the latest note from Sienna. Not as worrying content wise as the others, but her handwriting and general ability to write sentences is absolutely awful for her age. It looks like she even spelt her own name wrong! How are her parents not worried? She seems extremely developmentally behind in her English skills as she should be able to write at least a paragraph by now that is somewhat grammatically correct!

I don’t know if it’s been mentioned here or not, but in there new video ‘Last to leave the bathroom’; did anyone else feel bad for sienna. If Mia won, she would have gotten a new phone. If Darren won, he could have ridden a UTV. Sienna won and her prize was that she gets to control the day. It doesn’t come close to what the others would have been of that makes sense. I can’t really explain it, I just felt bad for her and the prize she was given. Not as good as what the others would have got. It may be just me who thinks it though

I have been watching this family since they were living in Gran Canaria.
They were my favorite YouTubers. They were fun, relatable, down to earth. They just seemed like a normal family and I loved that they did daily vlogs.
What went wrong?
All of there videos now are so fake and staged, it's actually a joke.
Their also making their views of this current situation very clear. Not wearing face masks, travelling, talking about not handwashing and using soap, Mia and sienna socialising, sleepovers... the list really does go on. Which is a shame beacuse with their platforn they could reach a lot of people if they actually spoke about the current situation.
I also find Darren and Georgies behaviour worrying. They have always been a fun and spontaneous couple but they seem to be really erratic and unpredictable. One minute they seem really annoyed another minute there really hyped up.

I have just watched their new video.
You could see just from them filming in the begining that those waves were really angry why on earth did they let their four children go into the see in such dangerous condidtions, poor sienna was terrified! Not one wave but two waves pulled her under, as long as your nose and mouth are covered in water you can drown, completely irresponsible parenting.
Then putting their baby onto concrete next to a swimming pool to learn to walk, what is wrong with these parents! My heart leapt out of my chest when Koa nearly slipped it, Georgie only just managed to get to him in time, his hand even went into the water.
Then they decide to have a good laugh at Mia's art work, you could see how upset she was about those remarks.
Oh and don't forget, no sun hats for the children at the beach yet you could see that both Georgie and Darren were both wearing one.

Who actually thinks a 16 year old from Norfolk in a religious cult is going to kidnap a toddler from Portugal?? It honestly makes me chuckle these TikToks

Another stupid unhealthy habit they have is Darren apparently said he doesn't wash his hands after changing the kids' nappies if they've just peed in them, he only washes his hands when faeces are involved and apparently it's the same after he's used a toilet. It's just so weird.

Sometimes I think that Georgie is jealous of her daughters' potential. I don't think that she wants them to do better because it would threaten her own ego. The way that she looks at Mia when they do those swimsuit reactions, or when judging her art, you can tell there is some envy there. And then I also think that Darren and Georgie don't want the kids to be educated because they don't want their children to start questioning them about their beliefs. I think for them, education means relinquishing control of their children to another system of values/knowledge. Georgie laughing at Mia's art is a way to slowly chip away at Mia's confidence. It's such a weird and damaging dynamic.

My 5 year old nieces handwriting and spelling is a lot better than this. And im not shaming the child i am shaming the parents. Even if they do home school which there is no real evidence of, they should be teaching her handwriting and spelling. It is unacceptable to deny her rights to education. They are actually denying her human rights to an education as enshrined in law by virtue of her being a British citizen. HER OWN PARENTS. Children in 3rd world countries have a better quality education than Sienna right now. It is 2021 and it is inexcusable. Shame on you D&G, if you don't sort out your act your children will HATE you.
What do they even do all day apart from go to the beach and eat. There are parents working 12 hour shifts each day, keeping a house and helping their kids learn.

whoooooa hold on I just heard one of the most ridiculous things to come out of georgie's mouth. Did she really just say that they need to only think of positive things because that's how we manifest good?? Wtf are you doing telling growing kids/teens that they can't think about anything but the positive? Bad, bad advice. You actually grow A LOT working through the negative in your life. I believe you can't even truly appreciate the positive without living in the negative. Wow. Just wow. Horrible advice. I think she brought more of her religious upbringing with her than she thinks... because I find this whole "let's always have a smile on our face" is very chauvinistic and degrading. How about - let's work towards having stable mental health and learn to regulate and work through everything on our plates so that we're prepared for adulthood?!? Maybe?

Honestly. I’ve been in a state I’ve never been in before, I’ve never been so depressed and unmotivated. I can’t get out of bed. The only thing keeping me going is the thought of seeing my friends, going on a holiday with my friends. I spent the days on Pinterest just waiting. Because i know that the longer i wait, the more it will be worth it. And god it’s painful to see these naive, ignorant youtubers just jetting off to wherever they fancy, for the most selfish reasons.

I feel like they basically live a life of trying to please Karma and make sure she doesn't "get upset" ever. Newsflash - that's not good parenting.
I watched them yeeeeeears ago - they were Veganfamilytv for a while but before that they were veganfitnesstv. They used to vlog their holidays and the atmosphere was so strange.
Darren was obsessed with fitness and wouldn’t let the girls eat ketchup or anything processed, they used to have a squirt of tomato purée instead. I also vividly remember him making them sprint up a hill on holiday and telling them ‘health over taste’ as he ate a full pack of unseasoned tofu.
georgie just went along with it. She has a strange Stockholm’s syndrome aura about her.
I just wish the girls all the luck in the world, they’ll need it.

I do feel really bad for Sienna, she seems to get the short end of the stick such a lot - she doesn’t fit into the grown up teen category with Mia and she’s not one of the “babies” with Karma and Koa. They seem to so often set her up her failure in their vlogs and try and make her look bad - I think they’re mocking her when they show off her writing knowing it’s below standard (and it’s their fault not hers) and the whole Mia’s dress pocket thing made her look like a total brat when I’m sure she’d been told to do it and thought it was all part of the great prank.
