The Grimwade Family

[Chosen.One]

I must say black history month has been taught for over 15+ years in the UK. Every month of October in every school I went to but probably depends on the areas I’ve been in

I remember learning about in my school too. I thought this was common

 

[fluffycow172]

I’m all for a traditional family set up but you cannot look after home with 6 kids and home school effectively! Tim doesn’t go out to work everyday so this isn’t a traditional set up and from what I’ve seen he doesn’t take the lead in anything apart from the YouTube stuff. Ella is left to do everything. I can’t imagine that he shops, cooks, cleans or anything apart from once in a blue moon.

The one time I saw them in a shop in one of their videos was the eating red shite and Ella was wearing a scarf as a “mask” and it was hanging off her face most of the time

 

[yoruyeh]

They mentioned they got rid of the dogs as it was too much juggling them, the children and Ella being pregnant.
That's what happens when you make life choices for the sake of content. They didn't think that one through at all.

Yeah, I’m not surprised they got rid to be honest as I did wonder how the hell they were going to manage. Just feel really bad for the dogs.

 

[Polpoting]

Can anyone tell me how they are related to marvin and Rochelle humes? (I think I've got the right people!)

 

[liliUk]

She didn’t say anything ok the black maternity programme. tbh I wondered why she was on! I thought with 6 kids she would have some insight but no, more fool me

Just an excuse to get on TV and let people know her cousin is married to Rochelle Humes I presume

Just an excuse to get on TV and let people know her cousin is married to Rochelle Humes I presume

And also to get more tv work for her cash cows... I mean kids...

 

[Coffeeandcroissant]

Really sad..just shows how these vloggers have a fake life. On camera they r constantly flirting and stuff, Tim adores Ella etc. Kids are staged to the point I just cant believe how they think its normal/natural for a kid to behave like that.

 

[Olivemaks]

Ella was home schooled so how can you know "for a fact" that Ella's parents are not happy with the children going to school. It's not always right to just trust the system blindly (since we all know systems can get things wrong) but I do agree the kids need outside stimulation and interaction. There is a huge amount to be gained from certain types of education, especially primary school.

They need to go to school. Home schooling isn’t in their best interest. Not done properly. They’re not interested. It’s clear to see.

I think its coz their bone bloody idle and taking kids to school is to much of an inconvenience. It would mean extra preparation, extra work, washing, organising and they simply cant be arsed. The kids would bloom in school. Not so long ago there was a video bout Hosanna not being able to read.

The kids can't go to school now coz they wouldost probably be bullied or face peer pressure and they simply do not know how to deal with such emotion. Its all well and good saying they want to be the ones who influence the children but they are actually harming their social and interactive skills. Hosanna thinks you socialise by dancing in the background and stroking her parents who show no interest. Very sad.

I didn’t want to say this but yes they can’t be arsed for the school run. Uniform expenses. Doing packed lunches etc… pure lazy. They all have COVID now. Anyone else think Ella thrives off being ill..

Definitely theres no way they could be bothered to get up early, get kids ready, do hair, make lunches, do the school runs, and all the other extra cirriculars. Much easier for them to stay in bed late, not dress or wash the baby, and make Hosanna cook & clean while they preach in videos.

Anyone else think all this baby making is strange considering the tiny, cramped house & the kids never go anywhere. Tim and Ella don't exactly have that much privacy or sound proof walls

Very strange. Have they ever gone on holiday in the UK like get a holiday home or a chalet?? What are they doing with the YouTube money ?? They’re not expanding the house, it’s not going towards school uniform or school material.. I’m so confused..

 

[Janice Houston]

She really does think she is special… saying how disappointed she is in “some of” us and the whole “I still love all of you” nonsense is so laughable. She doesn’t love anyone who calls her out. We obviously got under her skin and GOOD. Maybe now we can get under her skin enough that she will address the dog situation.

Notice when Harper is doing her schoolwork, if you can even call it that, nobody is engaging her. She is coloring…. Like coloring is great but she should be reading fluently at her age and I bet she isn’t. Hosanna is about 9 and still can’t read worth a damn. I guess they are just being groomed to be stay at home mothers and Tim and Ella assume they don’t need an education.

My comment on the video has a lot of interaction and I would say it mostly has commenters agreeing although a few are still up their asses defending them. These two won’t ever be humbled. They have so many money makers pulling in revenue they won’t ever have to work or be humble. It is sad for Hosanna who Ella makes it clear she doesn’t think is pretty as the others (poor girl doesn’t get any acting work) so I guess she just has decided Hosanna needs to be the domestic servant. Ugh

Is this your comment? If not here is a comment of someone calling them out

 

[liliUk]

I'm not sure why I laughed so hard at this, but I did. Lol. Do they really think those poses are handsome?? But seriously was the dog in the video and I just didn't see it. Did they even mention it?? Usually their like there's astro and the capital of Texas is screeching at it.

Capitol of Texas Screeching at it...... I am literally dying laughing

Poor Rue he looks so miserable here. Forcing him to like football and pose like his waste of space dad has taken all the joy and personality away from him.

Totally agree. Reu Bear is changing from his happy go lucky, jack the lad, adorable self to acting quiet, miserable and being forced to be grown... hes 3 for goodness sake

 

[Gomo]

Yes in the UK, 99% of people don't play basketball. Its never televised in Uk etc. There isnt any major teams. It's not a big sport here. Soccer is the main sport. but we call it football. So we have no idea why Tim is obsessed with American basketball jerseys. The only thing I can think of is that he is trying to appeal to the American audience.

The same way he converted to Ellas religion and preaches Christianity all the time, that is only done to appeal to the American Christian viewers are the is a huge Christian following in America.

Yes thete are a lot of Christians in UK Catholic, Protestant & Church of England mainly but they have a bigger population to gather as viewers in America than UK.

Another thing homeschool is extremely rare in UK. Majority of the country are in regular schools. To be honest I think most people in UK have never even met a home-schooled person and find it strange as it is so uncommon.

Also the majority of people in UK would not live in such a tiny, cramped, cluttered, overcrowded house with a 7th child on the way.

Also UK people mix more than Tim & Ella. They never interact with neighbours or have any close friendships or visitors. But In UK, most people are more social with their neighbours and friends

Tim and Ella are so Phony. Yeah, it is really obvious to me that they are trying to appeal to the American Christian viewership, a lot of Youtubers do it and it is so obvious that they're full of crap. That fanbase is really rabid and loyal and will ignore every shady thing you do as long as you throw out a scripture here and there and say something about God every other video. I mean, these people literally don't go to church so their son can go to football practice. lol. What?? That's without a doubt not putting God first. I have to hand it to Tim, he seems to know what he's doing in that regard. Very manipulative.

I also think they are homeschooled because it's easier for the kids to go to auditions if they didn't have things like school in the way. Did Tim's parents buy the house for them? If so, that explains why they're not eager to move. They would have to spend their own money.

***** OPEN LETTER *****

Dear Tim & Ella. We know you are reading this because you saw our comments & did a video calling us out, trying to justify your behaviour. Please take on board the following.

Ella please stop doing that squeal when u laugh. And Tim, please stop copying her.

Please stop pretending your kids are the most mannerly kids ever. Their not, you allow them to kick a ball everywhere, screech, talk over each other, hit & push eachother. This is not manners. It's rude.

You can't claim to have Christian morals, then allow your daughters to wear crop tops, dance to age inappropriate music & make suggestive adult dance faces & poses and have your sons throwing gang signs. Christians believe men & women are equal, something you do not believe or practice. God says love everybody but you are homophobic against LGBTQ.

Ella STOP saying the kids with the "white texture" hair have nicer/better/easier hair. STOP jumping for joy that Rue & Hosanna are white skinned. It's hurtful & damaging to the kids. I understand you always disliked your skin & hair but work on self love instead of making your kids feel flawed.

Tim, it's insulting & disrespectful to mock black culture and accents. As a fellow white person I am embarrassed you think it's ok or that you have the right to act borderline racist and use black stereotypes just because you are married to a black woman. Its not cool, funny or respectful. Stop trying to speak Patois. You have never even been to Jamaica.

Ella you are a black woman. Tim you are a white man. Both of you need to be proud of your skin and races because your children are both. How must they feel when mum doesn't want to be black & dad doesn't want to be white. How will the kids ever be happy in their skin when their parents aren't.

Ella as a mother, you need to respect & stand up for your daughters instead of having them as maids. Teach them their value & worth that they are capable of achieving goals and dreams. You can't rant about independent women & then have them chained to the kitchen sink. All your teaching them is how to cater to men, run a house & boys are better than girls. Women & black people fought long & hard for rights, freedom and equality and here you are making slaves of the girls. The cleaning, cooking & child rearing is YOUR job not the kids.

The boys need to start helping out. They need to learn to help, tidy & cook. What happens if they live alone or become single fathers. How will they care for themselves, kids & run a home when they don't know how to wash a dish. Heze is 11. He should be able to do his own hair. How dare you make the girls clean up their brothers mess. It's disgusting that you prioritise the boys freedom, time, luxuries, hobbies & activities over the girls.

Tim, you need to start doing chores. You contribute to the mess, so you need to clean it. Your a parent. Cooking and feeding your kids is a necessity not a choice. How can you sit and watch your babies clean up your mess & cook your food. Disgusting, vile, sexist man

Tim, if you can't help out at home, go and get a job. Stop saying youtube is work. You literally record a 15 minute video and upload it with no special effects or transitions. The rest of the time you sit in bed or play computer games. How can you keep saying your bored when the house is dirty. In your bored moment, why not declutter and go to the dump or hire a skip.

Ella, you also need to do more around the house. It's always dirty, messy, cluttered, washing and rubbish everywhere. Why can't you get off your behind and clean it while the kids play outside or make Tim help. Instead you make your kids do it or the elderly grandparents and you have a cleaner. Laziest couple on youtube.

HOW DARE YOU deny your kids an education. The kids are behind academically and socially. You need to get tutors for these kids ASAP. What happens if YOUR dreams of the kids being a famous footballers & celebrities doesn't work out. They have nothing to fall back on & won't get a good jobs because they have zero education or qualifications. Deciding your kids careers at birth, boys will be footballers & girls will be actors & dancers is WRONG.

You need to let you kids socialise and interact with other people and kids their age. They lack social skills and clearly have attachment issues as Harper nearly had a heart attack because Tim & Halle got off at a different train stop. All the kids were in a state over it. That is not normal. They need to make friends. It's also ridiculous that the whole family has to go to every activity or sport. How will these kids have any "me time". They can't even play with friends their own age without the whole family there. How will they cope having to be alone as adults. It's not good for their development.

How dare you spend the money your children earn, buying yourself designer outfits, luxury hotel stays, apple watches, tiffanys jewelry when your kids only wear free clothes from sponsors, Houston only wears Pyjamas or a nappy & the kids recieve poundland toys, toothbrushes & magazines for Christmas. It's exploitation and greed. That money should be divided into trust funds for the kids.

You need to get Hosannas eyes checked. There is clearly a problem that is being neglected. The problem will get worse. If you can find time to get your nails done & go to a party then you can find time to make a doctor appointment.

Ella, You need to stop complaining about being pregnant, stop rolling your eyes & sighing over baby #7. There are women & couples who can't have kids that are dying inside when you say these things. Be thankful you have beautiful healthy children. Stop acting surprised that your pregnant. You had unprotected sex, what did you expect, a tv? Shows how irresponsible you are that you get pregnant when not wanting more kids & waiting to get your tubes tied. Foolishness.

You need to stop relying and depending on elderly grandparents to babysit, pay & provide for you. Your parents should not be buying your food. Tim your parents bought you a house. Be greatful not greedy. Ella, your parents are elderly & have a special needs daughter. How dare you expect them to csre for 7 kids. And have them clean your house, do your laundry & cook for you. HAVE RESPECT. You both should be spoiling the grandparents with a nice thank you gift for all the money & help they have given you . The disrespect is hard to take in.

Tim, your not American. We don't have basketball over here. How the hell have you got every basketball team jersey from the states but you dont even play it or have a hoop at home. I think the only basketball team any British person can name is Lakers & thats because everyone thought Kobe Bryant was hot. It's not even televised over here. We don't even have British basketball teams because nobody plays it here. Maybe the odd school team activity. Stop trying to reel in American viewers because Jesus, we do not need our American friends thinking we all live & behave like you. God forbid.

Please start teaching Houston to stop that shrill, piercing, screeching. She is at the age now she understands correction and basic instruction. But nobody can be bothered to teach her. It's annoying and she shouldn't be on the vlogs if all she does is scream. The viewers don't want to listen to roaring when people are screaming.

Please start allowing the kids to spend more time outside. It cant be good for their health being cooped up in that small, cramped, dusty, cluttered house. Why do you never open windows & doors even when the sun is shining? Why are you all sitting on the floor inside on warm days. Why have you not got some outdoor seating or garden toys. Those kids are homeschooled and indoors 24-7. You make lots of youtube money, so why not bring the kids on eductational day trips and outings.

You need to move house, build an extension or else re-arrange the home as the living conditions are shocking. Its disgraceful that pre-teens are sharing bedrooms with babies & toddlers.

You really need to re-evuate your lifestyle and make better choices for your children.

YOURS SINCERELY
The whole world

X 995959493982 !! THANK YOU!

Off topic but did anyone see in one of their videos ( I think it was when Hosanna went shopping) I could be wrong though.. Houston was out in just a vest and they were letting her walk around in the shop like that with no socks or shoes on her feet

 

[DebEdg]

These lots are on channel 5s milkshake aren't they?! A programme about "going green" and the "5 r's..reuse,recycle,repair, refused and reduce". It's completely laughable it's a well known fact and David Attenborough's said himself the best way to be greener and help the planet is to STOP having so many children and increasing the planets population. Back in the old days it was the done thing to have 10 kids; religion, no contraception, backwards thinking about a womans purpose/duty and the infant/child death rate. Makes me cringe everytime it's on tbh. Feel like emailing milkshake

I think they only did one series but unfortunately they’re playing it again. My daughter unfortunately loves it so watches it when it’s on but it just gives me the absolute ick and makes me want to gouge my eyes out with a rusty spoon in the morning

 

[liliUk]

The comments on the newest vlog about how great Tim is really grating on me! I don’t understand how anyone can watch that and feel it’s all ok. What are these viewers on

It's disgraceful to be honest. I can't believe Tim & Ella are allowed to get away with this. It is completely abnormal and cruel. We are not living in the 18th centuary or Iraq where women and children have no rights. This is UK. Even in creches & playschools there has to be a certain amount of adult:children ratio supervision.

Totally agree the comments on there video praising Tim is shocking. Are they delusional ???

The fact he had the cheek to say daddy and kids hold down the fort....... NO Tim, you pissed off for the day and left the girls to run the house

 

[Olivemaks]

Yes they had x2 Spaniels as puppies 18m-2yr ago, they dint last very long. Was alot of fuss about them but then suddenly they were no longer in vlogs! This one will be no different.

Not even an explanation.. wow they shouldn’t own dogs again

 

[Chez300]

Oh my days! The latest vlog

lord knows what they’ve been doing when they were off.

 

[Iloveeaster]

In the latest vlog "We haven't got anything for our son's birthday because . ." Is a misleading title as it about them explaining that they have have lost a family member & that they are not coping well coming to terms with it. They didn't really need to mention Heze's birthday.
My condolences go out to them but surely they could of informed their fans in a more discreet way a post on their Instagram maybe. I hope they consider stepping down from social media for a period of time to allow their families to grieve.

 

[Rissa9416]

Could Astro be at Ella’s parents’ house? If so, maybe it’s just until her sickness from this trimester is over… If they are keeping Astro, I’m speculating this where the pup is… Just a thought.

EXACLTY and if that was the case why you only mentioning it now and not in the video at the hospital

Or putting it as a pinned comment in the comments section of the original video…

 

[fnddlsoxnz]

You should have tried those tiny tablets Ella took.

well they don’t seem to be working because she’s still moaning and putting on an act

 

[Fashion33]

Keep the kids out I like this one more

1. Dim & Elladerberry obsessed with fame, dont bother watching they think their viewers are lame

also why don’t they post vlogs regularly they didn’t upload anything this evening..

 

[lorraineinjavea1973]

Perhaps they could have used their fake Isolation time to sort out their sh*t tip of a house?

I totally agree, the house was like a tip!! They must have been so eager to film that they forgot to hide their shit….where the hell do they put everything in that tiny little house??? Then lazy arse prattling on about their new viewers and how people missed them because their part of their daily life!! I bet they bought the views The kids were soooo fake it was embarrassing to watch
