They are very controlling over their kids and the kids don’t realise how controlled they are because this is the life they’re unfortunately used to. They don’t want the kids to have a life and being individuals with their own personality, their own set of friends each and doing their own hobbies and things they enjoy.
They’re trying to get the girls to all play football now probably hoping at least one of them will bring attention onto the family and secure a sponsorship cause so far Harper hasn’t done that and I think they expected the minute they announced Harper is now playing football , they thought she would be getting offers so they’re making more football videos in the hope Nike or something reaches out to sponsor. Hosanna made it clear football isn’t her favourite thing it’s not something she would want to do as a hobby she’d rather do something but Ella was still trying to put the idea of football in the child’s mind which is messed up stop forcing football on all the kids cause you and your husband are too lazy to get a real job and provide for your family especially Tim cause he does nothing at home so no excuse for him to not be out working.
Ella and Tim don’t like the kids leaving the house unless it’s for football or so Ella’s mum can look after them , they don’t like the kids eating which I find so strange I wonder why they control food like that and when the kids are eating something it’s a small portion and doesn’t look filling. I agree with you
@Grandmaangles Ella didn’t let the other kids come inside when Harper and Rue were eating cause she knew they would want food too and she didn’t want them seeing them food. It didn’t look like a packed lunch looked like just a slice of bread and pack of raisins thrown into the bag in a rush. I hope they actually had something filling cause I’m sure those football camps go on for a few hours.
They don’t like the kids left amongst other kids socialising incase they make friends or hear other children speaking about normal things cause then Ella and Tim can’t have control over what the kids hear other kids talk about as that’ll possibly lead to the grimwade kids asking their parents questions so I’m not surprised Ella was there keeping Harper and Rue away from the other kids cause either her or Tim are there making sure the kids go play football but don’t actually enjoy it it’s just seen as the kids working in Ella and Tim’s eyes. The other kids having to spend the whole day playing in that old basketball court there wasn’t even a playground that’s just boring especially as there was no need for Ella to be waiting there but I guess they want to control every second of those kids lives and not take their eyes off them.
