Yes he can at £50,000. Then there’s the cost of all the education, health and dental care. But fundamentally I just wonder about the emotional health of all the children and the parents pathological desire to have so many children. And remember, she was 13 when she first was pregnant. They shouldn’t be feted imo

His business is not just a ‘tiny little bakery’ the father earns £50,000 a year from this business. Yes, I expect they do get paid by Channel 4 and have the holidays thrown in, but so long as they aren’t claiming extra benefits and I think at £50,000 a year he won’t be able to claim full child benefits anyway?

I would like to say it was a heartwarming programme but it made me cross.

Noel, the father insisting they pay for everything themselves and are not on benefits. They don't say how many children they are claiming child benefit for. OK it's their right but it's still a benefit.

How many prams have they had? Did they say 30?? shock

How much money are they earning from Channel 4 and product advertising. Why don't they just come clean and say it's an income? There's no way their tiny little bakery can finance all that.

Everything they do is 'hard' - even getting the kids out of the door. Why moan and then keep having more kids?

The kids eat rubbish. The older boys look bored stiff.

The holidays are obviously sponsored.

How come the state of the art kitchen appeared like magic within three weeks of Sue having the 21st baby? Who rips their perfectly good kitchen out at that stage?

Do those kids ever go outside and play?

I'd better stop now. As you can gather, I'm not impressed. grin
