Family Fizz - The Fizz Fam

[Tublet83]

I’ve never watched her channel but is she still doing online school or has she just dropped out, she never talks about it anymore and the parents don’t either. I wondered did she just leave and say nothing to the vlogs. Is that even legal ?

No idea, most of their content is flogging their merch ??

I hope she has a group kids her age to socialise with I can imagine home school is very isolating, but at least georgie isn’t teaching her ?

No, not legal at all! It’s a legal obligation that every child is provided with an education or parents can be fined/prosecuted.

I’ve only watch a couple of their videos and I really wanted to like them and to be honest it’s not even that I don’t like them it’s that i find them a bit much.

Home education is legal. The law states that a child must be educated at school or otherwise. I home educated 2 boys using a mixture of online and course books, but it took a fair bit of weekly planning on my part and lots of educational trips. We loved it and are glad we did it but it is not just sitting in front of a screen. I hope Mia has access to some home ed support groups, I am sure Brighton will have loads.

I was assuming Mia was having time off her studies for summer, as they’ve done the back to school (obviously sponsored) hall. I’ve just been so sick of them recently to actually watch and see if she has been doing actual school work

 

but at least georgie isn’t teaching her ?

georgie seems to be getting stupider and stupider by the day. Before they were popular I'm sure she didn't struggle so much just to string a sentence together.

brighton is full of home ed children, so not a bad place for her if she does socialise. However there is a strong correlation between home ed children and issues later in life. Probably due to all the parents that do an awful job of it. Darren's main priority appears to be selling overpriced t-shirts

For family vloggers (which I don’t generally like) I actually quite like this family. I think it’s becayse they don’t vlog much of their actual life (it’s all merch adverts or karma), and they seem to prevlog quite a lot so have days where they don’t vlog at all. They tend to vlog things (like siennas beat boxing lessons, mia meeting up with a homeschool group) once and then don’t mention it again, so I think it’s hard to judge what’s really going on.

Totally agree with them plugging their merch constantly though, and I have actually stopped watching them over it. Think they could also make more of an effort over siennas birthday too - I don’t think she actually has any toys? In response to someone saying they’re not serious vegans as have brought normal chocolate, find that very hard to believe to be honest, a lot of main brands dark choc is vegan which a lot of people don’t realise so that must of been the case? (I’m a vegan and I’m forever getting people saying you’re not a proper vegan as you ate “insert a popular brand that is vegan but people probably wouldn’t know unless they looked properly” and it pisses me off )

Jojo is incredibly rude, and I don’t think I’ve ever seen him smile. If anyone’s ever seen some of the family freedoms vlogs, they literally treat him like a prince and never regulate his behaviour. Some vlogs are so cringey watching him be rude to others and his parents are standing their gushing over what a lovely boy he is ? he seems to only spend time with his parents and adults too.

You know what. SAME!! I almost forced myself to like them despite the ugly baby. (Don’t judge...) ?
I loved their birth vlog. That was so genuine and after chez ingham going a bit Shameless ? I was rooting for them to do really well. But the constant fake excitement and over reaction is now used to plug merchandise. I can’t watch anymore. They’ve sunk too low now.

 

Agree about JoJo. I've just skimmed though one of that other families vlogs, he's just hillariously ignoring them totally not bothered and the parents are hanging on every grunt.

I hope he falls into more water fountains.

That other family are just spending their whole vlog promoting the terrible Toby stuff, it's all too desperate.

How much markup do they make on these clothes?

Must be an absolute fortune considering they already make tens of thousands each month just on youtube adverts.

On normal TV there are limits about how much product placement and adverts there can be. I think once you have a million subs there should be some regulation on this because they are going way over the top and more.

Sorry the not legal part was in reference to her dropping out of school completely, not the home education bit.

Exactly. I think if they toned it down a bit with the excitement and stopped plugging the merchandise every five seconds they could actually do well. The only other thing I’d prefer them not to do is all these “shopping challenges”. They are practically the same thing. Every. Single. Time. Just with a different title

 

It's tacky having their YouTube plaques in the hallway right by the entrance as the only thing hung up in their hallway. Save them for the downstairs loo or office, stop congratulating yourself too much.

Daddy fizz going on about cycling a marathon everyday for the last couple of days, well that's easy because he has a very low workload. You try doing that if you work a normal job and raise a family! Not all of us can become millionaires just by taking basic home movies, plugging any company that pays and selling overpriced clothes with a cult mentality.

 

Quick look at sboodle and it allows you to estimate earnings from merch. Selling 100 products gives 1700. The more you have the more you'll make. This is how the Inghams started then we had bags, sunglasses, Easter eggs, Prinny t shirts, teddy bears..limited edition phone cases.
Daddy Fizz seems very money driven now. The "fame" seems to be giving him a massive ego he's no longer relatable.

This couple are very confused when it comes to their ideology. They have a very warped way of thinking and seem to contradict themselves.

In yesterday's video Darren questioned Georgie in an unhealthy manner as part of a lie detector test and is fixated on the fact she follows other males on Instagram. They wrap it up as a joke but it has been bought up in two videos now. The lie detector machine was a toy purchased on amazon for around 15 pounds. After the interrogation Darren smashed the toy and threw it. Very childlike behavior. No wonder JoJo and Sienna act like shits together.

If you can waste money on a bit of plastic tat for a video surely you can buy some tat for your child rather than give her a 100 pounds and claim she likes autonomy, that's fine but can't she have both? She has an incredible imagination and loves playing, yet you just gave her a bunch of notes and didn't even put it in a card. That's very sad.

Now I have not watched enough videos to fully form a proper opinion on the veganism however I do think the bunny/carrot argument they plucked out of a book was crazy. We will ask Karma (stupid bloody name) if she wants to eat a fluffy rabbit or a carrot because people only eat meat because it comes prepackaged. The whole hunter/gatherer/caveman argument didn't even cross their mind. They clearly heard something they thought was profound and proudly repeated it to a bunch of 10 year olds who worship them.

My mother is Vegan she has been since way before it became fashionable, as a child I had a choice of whether I wanted to have animal products or not so I really do not agree with it being pushed on children. I cant help but feel that Georgie is one of those woman who meets a man and changes to suit them. I wonder what their back stories are.

What is it with Family Youtubers, especially the fathers. They are all bloody creepy arrogant and odd.

 

I'm sure I've read somewhere (likely GG) Darren and Georgie are former drug addicts. Georgie was brought up in a Jehovah Witness family. They got clean went to Spain, began fitness and veganism then YouTube.

That makes a lot of sense with regards to the preaching and striving for better and the overall arrogance.

I am pleased for anyone who has managed to get clean but they should perhaps try and be a little bit more humble - seeing as quite often one addiction can be substituted for another.

 

I think they've substituted the drugs for an addiction to money. Like so many youtubers they don't see themselves as amateur home movie makers - they think they are business people and that business is selling tat to kids.

Like how Jonathan Jolly calls himself a best selling author

 

[tomatosauce]

I don't mind them as a family (but their competition is the inghams so doesn't say much!) but one thing that does piss me off about them is they claim they're very aware of the environment and try to do there best for recycling etc yet they don't ever hang their washing out or use bags for life! It just really winds me up and it so contradictory of their so called beliefs

I guess most vegans raise their kids that way because they don't want to support the industry financially, so its just easier to say to the kids 'oh this is how we're eating now'. I think a good way to do it though would be vegan at home and then they can eat how they want outside of the house (in restaurants or school if they're having dinners), as at least then they don't have to cook/handle animal products.

It annoys me when people say veganism is pushed onto children everything you do as a parent is in some way pushing your views on them. No one ever says this about when parents bring their child up as the same religion as them, go to church etc. If you’re a meat eating family you don’t give your young child a choice as to whether they want to completely cut it out or not so how is it any different? I definitely agree that if they start asking to eat it then let them form their own ideas, but if you believe in something so strongly/believe it’s the best thing then of course your going to bring the child up like that until they have their own voice.

Taira family is another vegan youtube family - her teenage son has recently decided not to be 100% veganism, and she (like any good parent would) has accepted it fine.

Sorry for my off topic rant ? it just annoys me how veganism is the only thing targeted for “pushing on children”.

 

I haven’t watched for a few days, and didn’t make it through all of last nights... more merch pushing (in a car park?!), with them wearing the family uniform, and another supermarket ‘challenge’.... I’d honestly rather see what they get up day to day.
