The Ingham Family #203 Got more work than you can handle? Go and light that Poundland candle.

[SavetheDrama]

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

She’s getting her heart’s desire though: all her babies are “tiny”, child-like even when grown, unable to ever leave the nest as Covid has given her the ultimate excuse to pull them out of school and stop them from ever being able to leave.
They have no family around, no social circles, no friends their own age, no life skills or coping skills (many of which you learn in school and on the playground).
I dread to think of those kids trying their luck on the job market, but Munchausen Sharon has done all she can to make sure that day never comes.

...naturally the first thing anyone will do is look them up for themselves and see the whole mess.

Online research? Call me old-fashioned but I tend to wait for a leaflet to come through the door.

Haha same! I always prefer to get hard copies of information that is easily-available on my phone. I spend ‘£700 a month’ on stamped, self-addressed envelopes.

Big shout-out to their accountant, by the way - absolute legend, if true!

The answer about the girls and going back to school..... to me it seemed like the girls were taken out of school because of bulling.

I don't know why but as lazy was taking about it the first few sentences just gave me that vibe. Then I was thinking about the time she had to collect one of the girls from school because of stuff being said to them by other kids, did it get worse for them and that's why the whole home-schooling happened.

 

[uwu]

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....

I really don't want this to happen for my daughter's sake but this is also why she's been working hard to do well in her mock exams etc because we just don't know what will happen come exam time next year. What will Issy do? She has no evidence of work and I'm sure they won't take GCSE bitesize notes as evidence.

If the inghams are reading here, I’d like to see the giant slingshot that threw old chippy tits into this denim shirt! Is he wearing Milas shirt? He looks like he’ll take his head off if he sneezes!

So Sarah thinks it's ok for an 11 year old and a 16 year old not to socialise at all with other kids their own ages? Good home schooling parents take their kids to meet ups, clubs and activities so they can meet like minded people and make friends. People need people and it's not healthy not to have friends at their ages. They are probably scared shitless to go back out into the world after what that scumbag has done. He has ruined their childhoods. I hope they are able to grow into happy, healthy adults despite what he has put them all through.

I disagree that Jace should be going to nursery. I think toddlers should be at home with a parent where possible. There are plenty of places to go and meet other mums and dads with preschool kids aged kids and socialise without having to put them into the care of others. My kids were with me until they started school but we were out and about every day having playdates and meet ups with other mums and kids. These kids aren't even taken to the local park. They spent weeks on end cooped up in their house without so much as getting out for a walk. What kind of life is that for a child?

They always mention that all we see is a 20 minutes highlight of their day? Well duck me if that's the highlight I feel well and truly sorry for the kids. They go places but they see nothing. I would rather never leave where I live than have to 'travel' the way they do. They did virtually nothing of any interest over the last couple of months.

I feel like they’ve probably told the girls that anyone outside of their four walls are bitter and jealous of them.. in reality not many people know who YouTubers are in day to day life.
Poor Isla always seems like a lost soul wondering around not knowing what’s happening and copying the other girls reactions and Esme is stuck in a little girl phase. Isabelle seems very lonely too.

You'd definitely need to factor in danger money to take on their books. And speaking of books, my trusty old Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology confirms that "The Golden Fleece" mitigates the "tit-Midas" effect so their Accountant has the right idea.

 

[Chloe97xo]

I may send a bra to him via po box he needs it with them tits, jealous

 

[Kstep]

The leaflet exists as much as she's booked some playgroups lol most are drop in or course but next year's have literally just came on sale also calendar warning lol on her insta looks like Lindt, fidgets and smuggle at least

 

[GreaseMop]

I think Lazy and Creepy are glad the girls don't want to go to school or clubs as it means they can keep them isolated, go off on holiday whenever they want and have free childcare on tap.

They are making noises about school/GCSEs/playgroup/Guides/the gym to make it look like normality is an option but in reality it'll be "after we get back from holiday/it was closed"/never mentioned again.
Also as other people have said, their location and lack of transport will bean issue, Lazy's shopping trips will be priority unless they use the van as a second car.

They definitely were why else would they be in tears at the thought of going back?

the whole thing baffled me. Sarah wanted the kids back in school because she couldn’t cope with Mila and homeschooling. Because Chris was always doing the van. Always doing the van? How does she think it’s okay that he’s out doing whatever he wants whilst she’s lumbered inside with 5 kids. Two of which she’s said he pressured her into when she wasn’t sure.

Grooming aside. He is the shittest dad to those kids. He is going to be long gone as soon as that channel is done.

Sarah if you are reading here, I don’t like you but start putting some money aside otherwise you are going to be in for a shock at some point. Chris Ingham only does what benefits him, I know you can’t see it but maybe if you had friends they’d tell you the same (not some ifam Mum friends who probably wants to shag him)

These kids will suffer without seeing peers etc. As someone who rarely went out and socialised outside of school (lived in the middle of nowhere with not much transport around) i found it hard to be around others as i got older. Luckily i did manage to get through it in my 20s but now in my very early 30s i am once again in the same boat as before with having no one around me (even though i live in a well built area with transport) and i can tell you now i am lonely with having no one to see or do things with on a regular basis. And it does make it harder to go out and see people as i have nothing to talk to them about because i dont go out and do anything fun

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.

Yes to all of this. She is on another planet if she thinks she can keep his misdemeanours away from all of the children forever, because as soon as one of them knows, they can't unknow it Obviously it's likely to be one of the two oldest, and no matter how much she protests he's innocent, they will be able to read what's out there, and come to their own conclusion. At that point, the damage is done, and surely there's no going back. It will be clear that it doesn't only affect the older children, but the younger ones, and on to when they all become adults. It is not going to go away!
How are they going to live with that? It has to have repercussions, forever.
The other thing is how are they ever going to go out into the big wide world, and live 'normal' lives, forming relationships and having families? Qualifications, or lack of, are going to be a massive problem, for all of them. And even more so with the two younger ones, who, if they're not going to have any formal education, will not even be able to read or write. The mind absolutely boggles, and no amount of 'travelling' will make up for the basics, especially as they learn nothing about anything on those 'travels'.

See shes got one of the advent calanders that were recalled for being unsafe

I’m guessing because of the pandemic.

Hi Steve, your son was a n0nce long before covid.

Hope you've got your tree up Sarah

HOWLING

Bet that Lazy is nervous every time Creepy goes out in the 'Ibis on Wheels' by himself. Well she should be anyway. The messages from the last girl who came forward were extremely credible. And if he can meet up with someone in his wife's office and the back of the family car, he will have no qualms about meeting someone in a van with a double bed in it. I just dont think that she's bothered anymore whether he meets up with fans or not. She's probably just pleased that he gives her lots of attention (feeling guilty) when he gets back home.

I get what you're saying and it sounds like your family enjoyed quality, varied, enriching time together but what if a child's primary caregiver(s) are not properly catering to their needs at home?

If Jace isn't getting the right stimulation/education/socialisation etc (which is clearly the case) then surely nursery would be hugely beneficial.

Anyway nursery doesn't need to be full-time. Surely even a little bit of regular respite from their current set-up would be good for all of them, including his siblings who are tasked with providing an unreasonable amount of care.
