Not a massive fan ,but in remember watching when they first became more well known on youtube.(Forgive me but i even commented about Chris being a "dad" to Isabelle ,when mommie dearest w as going on about it taking more to be a father than being there at the conception...which (being adopted) i totally agree with still)./However ,i started to turn when her accent got stronger ,and their morals weaker.Opening a po box (and yes ,all family vloggers seemed to be doing it i know) ,never has sat right with me.They`re making a good.....or WERE...living from Youtube ,don`t expect more from those helping to pay for your lifestyle! The greed really got to me ,and of course then when it all blew up about Chris ,i unsubbed and came straight here to see if anyone else felt as disgusted by them as i did.Must say ,they`ve done me a favour ,as i`ve grown so fond of all my fellow tattlers ,and you keep me laughing when i`m in pain or just feeling low. So i`ll thank them (but mostly you all) for that!,,Now ,like everybody here i just cannot wait for them to disappear from Youtube ,and for those poor unknowing children to regain some privacy and a (hopefully) better life.Xx
I used to follow them too, I think I must have been recommended one of their present opening videos as I watch lots of those for ideas for gifts for the children I nanny and tutor, and it’s a good way to know what is popular.
I must have started watching just before the allegations came out/Sarah fell pregnant with Jace.
The girls looked neat and tidy, were all quite different ( Esme the sporty, brave and creative, Isabelle came across as kind and introverted, Isla curious and interested in learning), and I thought it was admirable that the parents were making sacrifices/cared about the children’s education ( or so I thought) although they weren’t super well off.
I thought Creepy was a bit off, and was often surprised by Sarah’s lack of or misuse of vocabulary, but I know I am very privileged to have had good schooling, lots of parental help and extra tuition when struggling and a university degree, so try not to judge others without knowing their circumstances.
I was doubtful about the allegations at first ( shame on me and I am so sorry Jess) then when I saw videos with screenshots and more and more girls/women coming forward, it all clicked. I watched older videos and sas shocked by some of the things Creepy did and the shots he took: hiding under Isabelle’s bed, filming at the pool/an outside water party, the baby powder in hairdryer prank on Esme, replacing her Mary Awful Shortle doll with a Chucky type doll…
Just dodgy, dangerous and disgusting behaviour for a father! The inconsistencies in Sarah and Chris’s narratives soon became apparent, Sarah’s lack of care for her unborn child shocked me ( in Australia, when she was unwell/thought she might be losing the baby and wouldn’t get checked out) and I saw more instances of endangering her offspring in other videos.
I hate watched or watched another YouTuber‘s videos on them when I realised just how bad they were and more and more of their behaviour came to light. Now I just read
@thegreencow ‘s incredible reviews and watch the odd critique video on them, ashamed that I fell for their act.
