Dunno. I’d trust my 17 year old but not my 15 yr old lolI just think we all know he isn't home alone so it's a moot argument. Chloe, the second mom in the house, is more responsible than Sue and Noel.

I dont watch many of the radford blogs but I do remember when they brought tillie home after her operation she was in the bed nearest the door. Didnt that last long ?Her needs are forgotten as soon as they turn off the camera.
Even when she first came home she was on the far side of the room of 4 beds, why couldn’t they at least for now arrange something easier to get to.
Then recently they couldn’t even manage to take her wheelchair. The frame looks big too. Probably needed the boot space for the 13th child.
I noticed that and it actually annoyed me. The area is for everyone to enjoy, but then (I don't know how many) kids woman through there and (try to) wreck the place. No manners at allThey were obviously at the Archerfield Fairy Doors yesterday! Archie looked like he might pull the door off at one point.
How on earth do you manage that? There’s 5 of us and I spend £30 a week on fruit and vegetables alone!?Wow I spend £200 a MONTH on food, cleaning products, animal food, toiletries!) for a family of 4, a cat and a dog!
£200 a week is pretty much half our weekly income
reminds me of my BIL. He is from a family of 8 kids (well, all now adults). The girls always got invited to go on holidays as they grew older, the boys didn't get even an invite. Is it a thing with big families? Weird. Nevertheless, they don't have much of a relationship with the parents. Seems a lot like she liked the idea of being pregnant and having babies.. not so much interested after that!I think the thing with James is more that his older sisters went but he was left behind. Of course he may have chosen this, but it does seem a consistent pattern with the radfords that all the girls get to go and only the younger boys. I wouldn’t be surprised if he chose to stay home - and 16 is fine with adult siblings home too - I think some people on here struggle with this idea of leaving some kids home, and bringing some of the teens with and leaving other teens behind. I guess they just have to many kids to have a proper family holiday with everyone
Frozen vegetables but fresh fruit (I tend to stick to in season and things that last a long time oraanges, bananas, melon ect) I bulk mince recipes out with grated veg, we have two nights a week meat free, a lot of it is from necessity and practice!How on earth do you manage that?

I only buy peas frozen not keen on other frozen vegetables but yes if we weren’t a family that ate a lot of vegetables then frozen would definitely bring it down.Frozen vegetables but fresh fruit (I tend to stick to in season and things that last a long time oraanges, bananas, melon ect) I bulk mince recipes out with grated veg, we have two nights a week meat free, a lot of it is from necessity and practice!
We eat vegetables nearly every day I used to buy fresh but frozen is just a lot cheaper and less wasteI only buy peas frozen not keen on other frozen vegetables but yes if we weren’t a family that ate a lot of vegetables then frozen would definitely bring it down.
My daughter went to uni which was close by because she didn't want to be away from home, some kids are just like that. She's 22, works hard, has a car and still lives at home. I don't see a problem, she'll leave home when she's ready, it's bloody expensive especially if you're on your own!Chloe didn't even finish her first year at Uni. She came back home as she was 'home sick' but it's been said on here she came back to help Sue.
Also, she was studying Childcare so if she had stuck at it she would probably have got a First Class Degree with all her experience!
But its not like Chloe chose to move back home. She was pressured to come back home to help her parents with the kids.My daughter went to uni which was close by because she didn't want to be away from home, some kids are just like that.

I told my daughter it would be the making of her going away to Uni and it was! She was a homebody but I knew it would be good for her having left home at an early age myself. She has thanked me more than once that I persuaded her to go.My daughter went to uni which was close by because she didn't want to be away from home, some kids are just like that.
