Never see the older ones coming to watch the younger ones open their presents, find it totally rude to be honest, I’d make my kids come and watch and join in, bloody sitting in their rooms gaming!Anyone else feel like because the family is so large it's almost like two families..
Family 1 - is the older 'kids' where they hang out in the bar & in the hot tub at night.
Family 2 - is the little kids where it's school runs, early mornings, nappies and toys.
Just seemed very apparent when Hallie was opening her presents it was 'family 2' and despite loads more siblings being at home they weren't there. Makes me wonder if they really have much of a relationship with all of their siblings. There are so many of them it would make sense to only form close bonds with the siblings of around your age.. plus it's near impossible to have any sort of proper family time with everyone there as you are either catering for the older ones or the younger ones. & the fact they don't have big enough cars for everyone anyway.
I bet as they get older and remember their childhood memories they won't be able to remember which siblings were there or not..
Not to make excuses for them, but one of the issues probably is that they film every one of the younger kids birthday hauls for money earning vlogs, and the older boys/ young men don't want to be in vlogs? (Which is understandable, and should be their personal choice)Never see the older ones coming to watch the younger ones open their presents, find it totally rude to be honest, I’d make my kids come and watch and join in, bloody sitting in their rooms gaming!
Yeah, this and the fact a birthday is pretty much a daily event in the Radford household. Most of us can't imagine a family member tucked away in their room away from the birthday boy/girl opening their presents, regardless of the age gap, because in most households birthdays only come around up to 5 or 6 times a year and are therefore special occasions. Some months in the Radford household there are 4 birthdays, practically one a week. Can you imagine being made to watch a kid sibling you have very little to do with, open shitloads of presents pretty much on a weekly basis? Seeing them being spoilt far more than you ever were, as your parents now seemingly throw money down the drain as opposed to all the scrimping and saving they did when you were that small.Not to make excuses for them, but one of the issues probably is that they film every one of the younger kids birthday hauls for money earning vlogs, and the older boys/ young men don't want to be in vlogs?

I do find it weird that the ones in their early 20's still live at home? I know that Sue and Noel will discourage any of them moving out because the money making machine of Britain's biggest family is decreased, but isn't it normal for adults their ages not wanting to live at home with mum and dad and a huge amount of noisy, badly behaved siblings? Do they not crave independence?Yeah, this and the fact a birthday is pretty much a daily event in the Radford household.

So I can totally understand why they don't partake, as much as it may appear rude.
If I was an older sibling with almost 2 dozen siblings, I honestly wouldn't want to be bothered. The girls are stuck being caretakers, they need a rest away from the children and the older boys don't want to be involved. I'm sure that the various age groups celebrate each other like we saw in Chloe's birthday.Not to make excuses for them, but one of the issues probably is that they film every one of the younger kids birthday hauls for money earning vlogs, and the older boys/ young men don't want to be in vlogs?

I think it is skydiving.I wonder what Ellie’s birthday surprise was
I normally hide in the shadows but who thinks sue looked pregnant in the last vlog. I think they are filming for a new show and her latest pregnancy is secret cos of it.
Didn't want to watch their latest vlog, but I'll have to watch it now lol. It would actually make sense of the baby wearing of Heidie at an inappropriate age - it would help to hide a baby bump.I normally hide in the shadows but who thinks sue looked pregnant in the last vlog.

She looks like she could be pregnant in the loose denim shirt, but not so much in the sweater at the end?Didn't want to watch their latest vlog, but I'll have to watch it now lol. It would actually make sense of the baby wearing of Heidie at an inappropriate age - it would help to hide a baby bump.
Yep, then you wouldn’t film would you. Just shows what the priorities are in that house.Not to make excuses for them, but one of the issues probably is that they film every one of the younger kids birthday hauls for money earning vlogs, and the older boys/ young men don't want to be in vlogs?

Precisely, in a family as large and spread out as theirs it’s impossible to be close to every sibling.Anyone else feel like because the family is so large it's almost like two families..

I’m sure they’d all love to live independently and have their own place or shared with friends but the fact is that renting can be such a money pit and buying a house is out of the question. I know most early 20’s are either at University or living at home saving still.I do find it weird that the ones in their early 20's still live at home?

Even if they’re all on minimum wage jobs they could afford a house to share between them. Rents are a lot cheaper in that part of the country (around 600 pcm for a 3 bed). I think it’s more a case of they’d rather just let their parents keep them cos it’s easier than having to take responsibility for yourself.I’m sure they’d all love to live independently and have their own place or shared with friends but the fact is that renting can be such a money pit and buying a house is out of the question.

Think it’s more normal to still be at home at that age nowadays due to the cost of housing.
They want to roll in from work to food in the kitchen and spend their money on clothes. The lads all seem a bit gormless to me.Even if they’re all on minimum wage jobs they could afford a house to share between them.
