I always found it uncomfortable to watch when they would be sat down on the sofa patiently waiting for their presents because there was zero excitement on their faces. They looked nervous incase they said or did something Helen and/or Danny didn't like? I don't know if I am reading too much into it but they both come across as people you don't want to get on the wrong side of.I actually think we are now seeing the real Helen,previously it was probably an act,thats why she stopped vlogging because 1)there was no money in it 2)when pregnant she had no brand interest,remember how she kept tagging Channel mum on all her posts 3)she couldn’t maintain the pretence. People have said it before, the boys seem quite nervous at times in vlogs,not always sure if it was Helen or Danny,but get a feeling both parents are overbearing
She's just got so stingy and miserly as the years have gone by. The quality of her weekly dinners have really suffered as a consequence of buying everything on yellow label, and then trying to throw together a 'meal' from a haul of random foods which don't belong together in the shopping bag let alone on a dinner plate! Just because you CAN put it on a plate doesn't mean you should.She just buys a load of crap. Assuming she didn’t go shopping last week as there was no haul and this week her shopping was £20 ish what the hell is she spending the rest of her budget on![]()
Sorry, make that 28!24 packets of seasonings?? Greedy cow!![]()
I agree regarding Camron,I think Helen has babied him,I have to admit I think more to control rather than protect. They bought him a car as soon as he was 17,he has worked steadily since leaving school/college. I think Helen possibly has more educational special needs than Camron and certainly has controlling issues with money. I think its become more noticeable over the past few years just how selfish Helen and Danny are with spending on themselves. The boys are very sweet but come across as very nervous around their parents,we only know what she says,but have no idea if any of that is true. Theres every chance,once Camron leaves home,he may blossom, without constant interference from Helen. Sometimes children can be held back by 'well meaning ''controlling ' parents.I agree. I get really controlling vibes from her with Camron, I can imagine he doesn't get to make financial decisions on his own.. I bet he has to ask for permission when he wants to buy himself something from the money he earns. Of course if he has learning difficulties which I'm sure Helen has mentioned that he does have learning difficulties, then it's only natural that she'd want to guide him with his money, but seeing how tight they are, I have a feeling he wouldn't be able to make many decisions on his own.
Me and my husband work fulltime, we aren't well off either but we always make sure that in the summer our children have plenty of fun activities and days out planned, which includes eating out as a treat. We save all year round for a fun summer holiday every year and I have no regrets, our children have happy, fun days out and memories to remember. Of course it's not always about money, but our children don't stay young for long and it's nice to treat them if we can.
I can imagine them turning up to the clubhouse and whipping out their own snacks and drinks

Danny seems just as bad with money though, I've heard him complaining in some of her videos about the cost of things.
There was one takeaway video where he was going on about the takeaway being £20 for the five of them, because they'd bought kebab and chips that they'd stretched between them all
Interesting, because I've never seen anyone 'pick apart' the children,criticism has been aimed at her and Danny,because of their behaviour . Helen can not take any kind of comments that don't kiss her backside. When pregnant she was very nasty with people who asked her genuine questions. I do believe Helen has 'special needs', which is probably why vlogging isnt a good idea,because she takes everything as an attack,she responds in a very immature retaliation way.
