That “leaflet” with all the clubs on sounds very much like the kind of thing that social services or the local education authority would give to a family as a low level intervention if they’re worried about children being isolated. Guiding is exactly the kind of thing they’d encourage.
Who sends leaflets any more anyway? Youd email or FB message a group for info surely!

In March, it will be two years since the three girls met up with anyone their own age (bar seeing Lottie three times a year or Isabelle's one time shopping in Leeds with a friend). It's just tragic.

I haven’t watched the Q and A but are the girls really going back to school?? Thought it would never come
No apparently Lazy had a meltdown about homeschooling the girls, dealing with Jace while and up all day and night BF a newborn and wanted to send the girls back to school. Creepy being the selfish husband he’s always been was too busy “working on the van” to bother to homeschool the girls. Don’t know how she was going to be able to send them back considering it was the school summer holidays. The girls were crying that they didn’t want to go to a NEW school so they got the tutors instead.

No. You go on to the guiding website and register your interest for joining, by putting in your postcode it will bring up all the units in the area, then you will be contacted directly from the guiding unit. Very easy and she could have done it already but as usual it’s only spoken about to shut the haters up.

Those poor kids need to know there's more to life than dozens of gifts,advent calendars,cheap clothing ,sweets every day ,Lidl,Flying Tiger,B&M's,Home Bargains etc etc.
Yes they have travelled but they've seen very little of the "real" countries they've visited.

So sad that Esme doesn't want to join any clubs. Lazy should be so worried about Esme not seeing any kids her own age - it will be so bad for her mental health. It should be Lazy's top priority to get Esme to attend local clubs. I can just picture the scene though where she's said to her "there's not much point in you starting any clubs as we spend so many weeks away in the van" - and then Esme just quickly agreed that it wouldn't be a good idea. When I home schooled my daughter, I was desperate for her to join clubs as she lost contact with all her old school friends - as she didn't have anything in common to talk about with them anymore 😔.
I would be worried about Esme not wanting to do anything if I was Sarah. I wasn't really a big fan of clubs/activities when I was a child and by Esme's age didn't go to any - but I was in school all day and had friends that I saw regularly outside of school. We did things without parents such as swimming, walks, shopping, cinema. There's also a lot more choice of activities now compared to when I was younger and if they are so well off then cost/equipment shouldn't be an issue.

She's said both Esme and Isabelle definitely do not want to go to school and don't want to go to any clubs, so should be looking at why and what they are actually going to do. Does she really think Esme can avoid any contact with people from outside the house and then function as a normal adult, make friends, form relationships and be able to cope with things such as job interviews and work alongside other people?

The reality is they will not join any clubs because it can't be vlogged, it costs money, and you have to commit some time to it. You can't join and then go off for months because there will be a waiting list for that place. They also have 1 car, don't seem to have much in the way of public transport, no family/friends around and live in a village with nothing there so the logistics of even getting at least 3 children to/from clubs that might be on the same days would be too much for them to handle. We've seen that they all have to sit around at home because Sarah has decided to go off shopping so no one else can do anything. Lots of people make it work if they have to but it would make much more sense for them to have stayed where they were before with good public transport and get a second small car to give them more options of splitting up. They would have had a lot of options of things to do in both Bradford and Leeds, with a train station just down the road and I'm sure buses going into both cities.

Jace could start at a school nursery after Easter, entirely for free and I think that would be really good for him to have some time away from the family, have some structure and routine to his day and make some friends. He could make a start on learning so that even if they decide not to send him to school at least he'd have done some basics taught a lot better than Chris/Sarah will be able to do. My daughter was only 3 (almost 4) and in nursery when the first lockdown happened and then in reception the second time the schools closed and it was far more difficult teaching her than getting my older child to do his work. There is no "independent learning" where you can just send them off to copy BBC bitesize, online zoom lessons she was bored after 5 minutes and needed constant attention to keep up with what was going on so no just getting a tutor and leaving them for an hour. There is no way Chris or Sarah would be able to teach the younger ones how to read and no way they will be able to commit to the next 18 years of homeschooling so at some point the younger ones will end up in a school and will be in an even worse position than the older girls.

Maybe someone from the education department/local authorities sent them some leaflets to help them socialise a bit.
I REALLY hope so. If this "leaflet" does actually exist, it definitely sounds like a targeted thing rather than a random flyer that was delivered to the whole neighbourhood.

My local community has a newsletter type publication which regularly comes through the door (straight into the recycling bin!) Some local clubs/groups get a mention but it's just to advertise specific events or appeals for help rather than a general list of all available clubs and they tend to focus on organisations for older adults rather than kids.

Who the bloody hell needs a leaflet to tell them about Scouts/Guides anyway? It's only been a thing for over a century! Considering the waiting lists people have mentioned I very much doubt that they rely on leaflet drops unless they're looking for jumble!

Maybe Lazy, the pathological liar, should seek out her local Amateur Dramatics club because her pathetic acting skills leave a lot to be desired.

Everybody saying what the kids should do about school and socialising seems to be forgetting that what Creepy did makes any of it impossible. That’s why they are in this mess in the first place.
I agree wholeheartedly

When Sharon38 said isabelle was crying when it was mentioned going back to school, at her age i would have too...do bot all all day, go on holiday for weeks on instead, please point me to a teenager who would rather be at school, I can guarantee they will be few and far between. This is why as parents we do whats best for them, they aren't even giving them a decent home education.

Sarah could leave him and hold her hands up and say she made a mistake and get the girls back into school. There been a few dads caught by P*** hunters local to me and their kids have been able to continue at school.

Esme seems happy running around playing with dolls but that it’s what other 12 year olds are like. She’s behind imo.

There are strong rumours that exams may be cancelled again if things get worse with covid e.g lockdowns etc. From my understanding Isabelle will have needed to be registered with an approved centre that can give evidence of her attainment towards GCSEs in order to be eligible for an award....

My pre teen loves secondary school 🤣 she sees it as a social thing with her friends and they plan sleepovers and their next shopping trip etc.

Sarah thinks it’s a good thing the eldest two don’t want to go out and mix with other kids and join clubs etc and are crying to stay at home.

It’s actually horrifying and concerning and she should be questioning WHY they are reacting like that (because they get bullied because their dad is a creep incase you didn’t know Sarah) and trying to encourage them and fix that (by getting rid of said creep who seems to only use you to keep his YouTube dream alive and get you up the duff when it suits him so you are more and more reliant on not being a single mother with a huge brood) get your head out of your arse Sarah ffs

Instead she just sits happy that they don’t want to leave her and she’s got free babysitting

My children have always done after school clubs and activities. They've not always stuck at it as it's taken them a while to find their thing but I cough imagine my two not socialising outside of school. The Inghams are so cult like that it's actually scary

They are going to raise kids who turn into anxiety riddled recluses who will probably never be able to work.

I agree. This was always the only option once it became clear that Creepy wasn’t man enough to take the hit himself and protect her and her children. People will not continue to attack you when you show some courage and humility, and deal honestly with the mistakes you have made. It’s never too late. Except for Creepy and his ilk - there’s no way back from that.

On a serious note. With regards to the kids getting ripped to shreds at school because of Chris. I do think that NO child should have to pay for the sins of the father. And I would not be happy if I thought my kids were bullying someone because of something they had no control over. But alas, unfortunately kids are cruel and that is the real world.

I don’t think they would have been bullied if Sarah left him.

They too would have been victims of his behaviour. They can’t help what he’s done. It’s the fact that he still had the brass neck to be driving them to school and filming videos showing they didn’t care that has made other kids gossip and say stuff I think. It’s completely on Sarah and Chris. None of them should be bullied for what he did but sadly that’s how kids work

If she ever does go to a playgroup with Mila and Jace, best she can hope for is that no one knows who they are. But of course she won't be able to stop bragging about being super famous youtubers who travel the world, whilst telling people about all the haters who lie about them and naturally the first thing anyone will do is look them up for themselves and see the whole mess.
