They could also get Isla to a library. A long time ago now Isla wanted to read but they didn't know what books she might like. It would be the ideal place for her to be able to explore different authors/genres and see what she likes at no cost. We have lots of books at home but still get a pile of books from the library every week for the younger ones and my 9 year old has a kindle so we do buy him books for that, but still he likes to use the library to try out new authors and look in the non fiction section for anything that interests him at the time. It saves so much money.

My 6 month old already loves story time at the library, but the problem for them would be they'd also have to take along Isla, Esme and Isabelle. Reading got me through a lot of difficult times when I was growing up and we wouldn't have been able to afford to buy as many books as I got through so the library was always special to me, so I find it especially sad to see a child who wants to read and wants to learn but just isn't given anything.

It's not just the fact that they're going to be bullied because of Chris which is inevitable, but their whole existence is online for the world to see, they're probably worried about what people at the school have seen. If none of this was online I think they'd be a lot less anxiety around it, when I was at school you'd never catch me telling ANYONE about my secret stash of Barbies under the bed past 11 years old.

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!

Where do we think Christopher Malcolm is siphoning off the £700 a month "accountants fees"?

I presume he is spending it on ibis hotels, ladies of the night, burner phones, napkins and doctors visits for creams for his battered garden gnome.

Poor deluded Sarah. Chris spends £8400 a year on "accountants" and she didn't question it!

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 can imagine Isabelle and Esme bawling their eyes out when presented with the option of going back. No doubt remembering comments from other students about sexpest and having to defend him to their peers. Teenagers can be cruel and I can't see how they can ever have normal associations again in a school setting. He made it impossible for them. Lard arse is such a two faced piece of work, describing how unfair it would be to the kids if her and sexpest ignore each other as it would create an atmosphere. What is unfair is that their children can't lead normal lives due to his actions and a mother who continues to stick her own head in the sand.

Oh Lazy. Harping on about a discount code for the WHOLE STORE but refusing to tell anyone what the discount is until they put the code through at checkout .

 

[Impleo]

I feel like they’ve probably told the girls that anyone outside of their four walls are bitter and jealous of them..

At the very least we know the children have been told that there are a group of bitter jealous people online who watch the vlogs that they are made to perform in almost every day

They will have been told that stories printed about them in the media are lies

They will have been told that the boys at Isabelle's school who I assume called Chris something like a p**do were cretins and liars

There must be people who have shouted things at them (esp. Chris) in the street, there has been evidence of that on the vlogs

Life must be very lonely and isolating for them, I wouldn't want to be around anyone if I had to live their life. I guess the older ones don't want to go to clubs or schools because they understand the gravity of what their dad has been accused of, Isla is too young to understand exactly, so will continue until she also realises that in a normal society their dad has made them social outcasts

And now Sarah says that they could afford to give up vlogging but for some reason choose to continue to put their children through it. They're rotten parents

 

[Lilibetlynn]

Maybe someone from the education department/local authorities sent them some leaflets to help them socialise a bit. They will be involved in the background and keeping an eye on them to make sure they are actually home schooling.

I can’t see how the kids can be happy. In lockdown my daughter had miserable days without her friends. Esme seems happy enough, Isla seems to be in a fairyland of her own just going along with whatever but Isabelle doesn’t have the same sparkle that she used to have.

Izzy is just a nodding dog to Sarah she agrees with everything just to appease Queen Sarah it's not normal Every family no matter how close have little disagreements then it all blows over its so unhealthy the way the girls look for validation on everything they say or do ..My granddaughter and her mum had a right ding dong going to school one morning then the granddaughter came with a big bar of chocolate for mum to say sorry that's how most families roll Sarah .Those poor girls will know nothing of Real Family Life it's not all Sunshine & Roses

I live in the oil and gas capital of Europe where everything has over inflated prices. Up here put bus fares are £6 a day. Anyway, my husband pays waaaayyyyyy less a month and his workmate who is an accountant laughed this morning when he told him how much they “allegedly” pay. Why is everything a lie. Sharon38 is my idea of a chavvy, braggy nightmare. If you’ve been to Tenerife then she’s been to elevenerife

 

[GiggleBee]

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

Which one got recalled?

 

[mags]

And speaking of books, my trusty old Encyclopedia of Greek Mythology...

Ah crap! Just realised that I misspelled the word "encyclopaedia". How ironic that the "paed" part tripped me up, considering my freakish obsession with Christopher Malcolm and his deviant ways. Mind you, this basement is so icy cold and dimly-lit I'm surprised that I can type anything.

But there's no smoke without fire, and the girls will know that there are very many other vloggers, and vlogging families, out there, some of whom they watch, and none of them have the same things printed or said about them. If it's all lies by bitter and twisted people, why aren't these people saying the same about other YouTubers? Maybe because it's true! Go figure girls.

Libraries also have lots of activities on all year round.. they are usually bookable by age range and often free or a small amount like £1. I’m unsure how things are with Covid but we used to go to them all the time up until my daughter was about 10 but they had teen groups on too.

You need to light up a nice Poundland candle!

Yes, it all adds an extra layer of trauma and confusion for them because they are not allowed to question, the answer is always it's lies. Deep down Isabelle must have questioned it, I wonder what would happen if she ever tried to have a heart to heart with Sarah about it?

 

[Holol457]

My biggest worry about allowing kids to not go to school is they will never want to go to work. They’ve never been taught that they have to do stuff that they don’t want to do and it will cause them anxiety later.

Is Isabelle 16 yet? An apprenticeship would be good for her.


They got scammed by builders and many other people.

The house went to foreclosure because they weren't paying the mortgage and has just recy been sold

Shhhhhhhhh!

 

[Tinksmum]

I had never heard of that other family until creepy mentioned them so I presume it’s ok to say Wow just Wow - no wonder he adores them….. like for like!

 

[OliviaPope]

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.

They were taken out of school because of the cost of the fees and they were pissed off at the haters having a go every time the took them out for yet another holiday. How many times did she go on about the very very lot of money it cost for the private school. I would say that they were pissed off that they still had to pay full fees when the country went in to lockdown and they told the school to stuff it. Plus the fact with the large school fee outgoings it would have impacted getting the amount they wanted for a mortgage as they pulled out of the first sale around the same time.

For people who are apparently set for life all they did was speak about money. Cost of fuel, cost of tolls, cost of food…. If they had the amount of money they are trying to portray they have wouldn’t be speaking about it they would just had over their cards and pay it. People with money don’t go in to shops and poke their fat fingers all over food and don’t buy it because it’s too expensive, people set for life they’re not sitting at the side of the road eating Lidl lasagna in a Aldi baguette in France!

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

The kids wouldn’t be going back to their old school with their old friends they would be getting sent to a new school not knowing anyone, hence the tears. Considering the kids are apparently so well travelled around caravans parks and car parks of Europe they don’t have much confidence.

I find it hilarious because the lingo for “accountants” these days to get passed censorship means sex workers
