Taina spoke Finnish to the little ones in the beginning of her YT career but she later switched to English. I got the feeling that she thought it was more cool to speak English and stopped using Finnish in the vlogs. I remenber seeing an old vlog they are in a music shop and Jer is speaking Finnish with the salesman in the background and then translating it to Taina.I've been wondering if the kids still speak Finnish. When they lived in Finland it seemed like Finnish was the little ones' first language, it would be a shame if they forgot it now. I hope they still speak Finnish among themselves.
educational standards don’t matter, since the kids are/were homeschooled anywayDid they even say why they were moving? Finland's education seem a lot better than most countries. Plus Australia doesn't have that exotic vibe so they will probably lose subscribers.
She just really fancies herselfAm I the only one who finds their thumbnails so creepy? Always a random face of Taina in the background looking super serious and sketchy
Benefits in Finland are much higher than Australia, Australia's system is much more similar to the UK whereas Finland has a more Scandinavian model (as far as I am aware anyway)Correct me if I'm wrong but is there even that much difference in benefits between Finland and Australia? Although I imagine the general cost of living in Australia could be significantly higher. They certainly don't seem to be doing very well in Australia if they're basically homeless. The move was very sudden and obviously poorly thought through by Taina (not to mention during a time when the country was shut down). I think their content was much more interesting when they lived in Finland. Their lives were more normal, not that they've ever been 'normal', but the older kids had friends. Now most of the kids look awkward or miserable and she's so desperate to project this false enthusiasm and they're more isolated than ever. She shows even less than she used to. I think whatever excitement there was of moving to a new country has well worn off.
that is very true, there is much less government regulation in Australia, cults/extreme religious groups etc are quite common, I would imagine that is why they moved backI feel so deeply sorry for all those kids, especially the older ones. Finland has wonderful, very open-minded and creative schools and it is such a shame they couldnt get some proper education. On the other hand, I guess that homeschooling is extremely unpopular there, hence kids that stay at home must be examined and controlled by the authorities much more than in Australia and to me that is the reason they moved. I am sure that a family like them would be visited by same sort of state agency to check on the development and wellbeing of the children and if any problems occur, they could be even taken away from their parents. Maybe that is why Taina hates Finland, since Paul is useless, she must have been the one to deal with it and talk to the people responsible for children welfare.
She gets up at 2.55am ?
Just another lie to make everyone feel how special she isthat’s too early
Maybe it’s true??Just another lie to make everyone feel how special she is
benefits are astronomical here in finland if you have a big family. their child benefits are about 1500 EUR but they get also so many other benefits. housing benefit is about 800-1300 eur/month (if their combined salary is 2000-4000eur/month). home care benefit about 500-800 eur/month and if they don't have any other income then they also get unemployment benefit (880EURx2/month) + some other benefits. also every child over 18 get's their own benefits. i would say 6000 EUR/month if they don't have any income but even youtubemoney they don't make any less than that.They might have had up to 1500 EUR a month from child benefits and maybe a bit of disability pension for Paul (although I highly doubt that because you have to be insured in Finland in order to get those pensions, and you are not insured if you are not employed somewhere). However, 1500-2000 EUR are not that much when you have to feed twelve people and live in Finland where living costs are quite high. For comparison: the average net salary in Finland is about 2400 EUR per month, and I doubt people with that salary have large families. I guess for a family of twelve, you need at least 5000 EUR per month living in Finland. Unless you don't have to pay rent and utility bills and insurances and don't own a car, that is.
