Why is it such a chore to find a new house? While it is admittedly a stressful processā€¦ What a blessing to be in the position to look for a home! Iā€™ve watched other YouTubers shop for homes and they didnā€™t make it seem like such a hardship. For everyone else (including myself) it was an exciting time in their lives.
Tim says that he and Heze would rather be working hard than looking at houses. Why must Heze at 11 years old be encouraged to work 24/7 when neither of his parents do (especially Tim)? Itā€™s like heā€™s trying to play a Jedi mind trick on us by constantly saying that heā€™s a hard worker, as if that will make us believe it. šŸ˜’
By the way Iā€™m an American as well and although they seem to be pandering to an American audience (even wearing a UCLA shirt today) itā€™s the Christian audience that they play to most of all. Despite the fact that they donā€™t attend church, the man of the house has no job to support his family and the grace before a meal (with the loud hand clap) is their only nod to a Christian activity. šŸ„“

Omg, back to the endless house hunting. The other odd thing today is to show affection because itā€™s been noticed that there was none or forced. They been dropping the girls off more with the grandmother and just taking the boys. So they get to get special attention. Go out for a meal and such. Go green for what they donā€™t even practice it.

Too true destinyseeker, most of us when viewing houses, have to do it at weekends, evenings or take annual leave. Weā€™d be grateful for estate agents fitting in with our essential commitments, and certainly wouldnā€™t be inflexible enough to have force agents to accommodate around leisure activities such as football training sessions for a toddler.

Been skimming some older videos as I havenā€™t been watching them from the early days. The energy at the gender reveal for Rue had such a different energy to the recent oneā€¦.the parents and kids actually seemed pleased with the result. Also Timā€™s natural father, seems they only met around the time of that pregnancyā€¦yet he was in the delivery room! In the recent gender reveal, Ella put her arm around him, and seems very at ease with himā€¦yet with Timā€™s adoptive parents (who paid for their house), she went over to them as an afterthought, no physical contact, they remained seated, and the father looked visibly embarrassed at being at such a crass party. Itā€™s interesting how the dynamic must be between Tim and his adoptive parentsā€¦it looks to me that he has little common ground with them and uses them as cash cows. Leaving them sat down, ignored, watching while he jokes around with his natural father surely be very hurtful, even if they had no objection to them making contactā€¦some of this stuff with his natural father being put on YouTube or being played out under their noses seems really off.

The one where the kids have watched the Meghan markle Interview was also interesting. As parents who home educate, something VERY BASIC when dealing with source information, whether that is political, historical, about race, about crime etc, is to look at the accuracy of the source. How much of it is open to interpretation, how much of it is one personā€™s word only, or one personā€™s perspective only, how much of it can be verified easily from other sources, was there information missing, do they think the interviewer was biased to either believe or disbelieve their subject from the start, did the interviewer do enough to try to verify the claims made, were there obvious questions the interviewer didnā€™t ask, when the interview subject talked about decisions they had made do the kids agree they made the right decisions. Critical thinking is an essential skill when learning from a sourceā€¦not sure their kids do any of this. The default position was to believe word for word everything they heard in the interview, and not to show any concern for the fact that of all the claims an accusatory stuffā€¦.they had not heard anything from the perspective of the other people involved. This maybe follows on from how Tim and Ella teach them generallyā€¦that if mummy and daddy tell the kids something, or show them something educationalā€¦it is taken at face value. This is probably why the kids donā€™t even know that they are educationally well behind their peersā€¦because their parents tell them the opposite and their is no spark lit within these kids to question it, to ask how their parents know this, how they are being tested, how their parents are able to compare them to other children of the same age etc.

Why are they in this loud ass restaurant trying to talk. Lord help them. The constant speaking over each other is so annoying. I knew she was going to say think of names for the baby. The other thing is how big are the rooms so they can get all the girls in one. Lazy ass Tim doesnā€™t want to even be apart of this journey at all.

Basically they parrot the opinions of their parents. They are not being taught those necessary critical thinking skills one. Weā€™d in life. Why isnā€™t that being done? Well because 1. They donā€™t know how to teach (and this is coming from an educator)
2. They want to be the only source of information for their children.

I've had to pause halfway through their latest video just to come and say how much Heze seems to be struggling in it. Nodding in all the right places, but his face says it all.

They've clearly tried it address it by saying it's that he just wanted to see Reu train and ended up roped into the whole day, but I think there's more to it than that. He commented on the size of the houses, and it must be pretty depressing to walk around looking to see which pokey room you're going to be sharing with your 3-year-old brother when you've politely asked for a bit of privacy and been denied it so someone can 'keep an eye' on you, when by all accounts you're a very responsible kid who does and says whatever nonsense your parents ask of you.

Him and Hosanna in particular just make me feel sad.

Did anyone notice Rue isnā€™t In a car seat? At age 3 heā€™s supposed to be in one. Not being responsible at all.

Haven't watched yet, but yes, I took this from the government's website:

Using a child car seat or booster seat

Children must normally use a child car seat until theyā€™re 12 years old or 135 centimetres tall, whichever comes first.

So even Harper should have one, a booster seat at least. Dont know about Halle how tall she is . My 8 year old is still in a booster as he is short for his age.

I remember a video where they had Houston in a car seat, but she was sitting in the front seat. She was an infant at the time. I thought that was dangerous. Maybe they fit them wherever they can, and get them out of a car seat as quickly as possible because the car seats take up more space for their big family. They just seem to do whatever is convenient.


Is that Harper in new NHS advert. At 0.08?
Sure looks like it.

Iā€™ve noticed the lack of car seats/boosters in an earlier video as well. Possibly even Heze, legally, should be using a booster.

Not that it should be an excuse, but the journeys undertaken were not in local roads close to home, they wouldnā€™t be traveling at low speeds for a short time where arguably car seats are less important (such a quick 2 min run to a grandma who lives a couple of streets away). This was a day where it was mostly travelling, and at long distances including on 60-70mph roads. Itā€™s inexcusable.

Good goodness, all they do is talk. And when I say talk, I mean repeat themselves and talk about nothing. Lol. Heze was nodding his head like a bobble head with this disinterested blank look on his face. This family is so unnatural. Lol. It's funny in a way and completely alarming in others.

Seems like they show case the boys but you never know what projects the girls are doing.

The girls are back on IG dancing. Same dance routine but at least she let them wear different outfits. Go Green is a joke but itā€™s back. They weā€™re at her mothers house for dinner and had the nerve to tell her mother thanks for the roast dinner. This is the second Sunday theyā€™ve been there and she invited her family for the next Sunday and the mother said very loud she wonā€™t be home. Wow!!! Doesnā€™t the extended family do enough. They drop the girls off and take the boys. Go out to eat with just them four, and you show back up to your mother expecting dinner. Wow!!!

They love the house that is in the ā€œcountrysideā€ says Ella whilst being drowned out by the sound of the vehicles whizzing by at 60mph šŸ¤¦šŸ¾ā€ā™€ļø
Yes, buy a house that is in a green space but on a busier road than the town where you lived before. Aah country living! šŸ˜† and judging by Hezeā€™s comments itā€™s not that big anyway.

I was also thinking something similar about the house in the ā€˜countryā€™. It was on a busy, fast road, likely with no pavements or safe crossing points.

It would totally isolate their children from the outside world, where they live currently in a quiet cul de sac, the children, potentially, could make friends and play in the street, walk to the park and local shop, once the parents are happy they are streetwise enough, walk to friends houses, catch a bus into town or to football training. Some of these things, Heze in particular should starting to be doing now, heā€™s secondary school age, so most kids his age would be walking to and from school or catching a bus independentlyā€¦he does none of that.

If they move to the ā€˜countryā€™, it will take a lot of parental effort to be able to allow the kids some independence as they all reach secondary age. But I wonder if for them it would be intentionally withheldā€¦so the kids canā€™t go anywhere or do anything without being driven there by a parent, and as the parents have been controlling any income the kids are generating, that will have been spent, not saved, so no money for the kids to fund their own driving lessons and car.

Any urges being expressed for independenceā€¦could be a motivator for Tim and Ella to specifically find a new home that is particularly unsafe to allow kids to start going out alone.

What a lazy douche Tim is, he canā€™t be bothered to put in the work to look for a house for his growing family so he sends his pregnant wife whoā€™s slipping and falling whilst he sits watching a 3 year old practice football. Heā€™s also brainwashing Heze to think that nothing matters in this world but football,life is not all about football, you need a place to live so put football on the back burner and put in the work to find your family a house. Stop being a whiny lazy douchebag. Heze obviously didnā€™t like the house the first time but since theyā€™re not allowed to think for themselves heā€™s now changed his mind, I feel so sorry for these kids. And ffs stop taking the kids to see houses and getting their hopes up, wait until you know for sure you got the house then take them to see it.
