What’s centrelink? Is it an Australian benefit? Are they not capped like 2 kids in the uk

Yes it is.

Chloe and Ro will receive Family Tax Benefit which is paid for each child you have. It's not capped. It is based on your income.

They do have an online store and their YouTube channel. I don't know if that generates enough income to make a difference to what government payments they receive.

I recon they’d make a fair amount from their YouTube channel, they’ve been at it quite a few years now and have a pretty loyal albeit strange community of followers.

Unfortunately not. This is a problem as lots of people just keep having kids to avoid working.

Watching the birthday reel. I feel sorry for him. All his brothers and sisters hovering around him to open his present which appears to be books. Birthdays in this house are never about the birthday child - always about the whole family. That is sad.

I just checked their social blade. It's hard to say if it's a steady income. I guess some of their older videos may still earn some money.

I see that too.

It's really annoying as it wouldn't feel like your birthday. I know they're only little, but sometimes you need to tell them to sit back and just watch.

They do sit & watch. There's no ill mannered grabby brats snatching up the presents. I don't think they can be blamed for watching. It's the most excitement they get.🤨🙄😴

I'm not defending them by the way. I have watched them on & off for years. I just know the kids are well behaved. One or two are potential arseholes 😁 but they dont show their bad behaviours usually.
I kept watching for the last 2 years because Sylvie is a faery child & smart off the charts. It shows even more next to her very average twin. I just cant stand it now though. Chloe's smugness about basically leaving her older kids without any learning into high school age makes me sick. Their constant park visits, gifted babies 🤣 & how to cut up fruit for the entire family just doesn't make me willing to ignore her stupidity about her births. Also about the both ofthem who didnt finish high school STILL not sending the kids to high school.. how in the hell are they going to teach preschool, slower infants school & year 6 & 7 all at once?
 
I watched the latest video not watched one in yonks it was a snooze fest.
What I did pick up on is that she said Otto used to see a private eye doc and he was signed off and he stopped wearing the glasses (we all know Chloe didn’t like the glasses or his eye turn ) and now he’s seen a regular optician and he’s back to wearing glasses if she would of got the eye corrected way back and kept up with the patching/wearing the glasses then he wouldn’t be so bad now.
The optimal time for correction is usually before the age of 8.
My daughter wore glasses since 2 had surgery at 5 and it fixed her squint/eye turn and carried on wearing glasses she’s now 13 wears contacts full time and will be able to have laser eye surgery when she’s 18.
Sorry for the ted talk but I know Chloe is shoddy with health and has a certain aesthetic she likes to portray
 
I just watched the trip to the science centre. As far as I could see Chloe and Ro just played with the youngest four. Each of the eldest three had to look after a triplet in a different area. I could not see much education hapening. I think the older boys need someone to explain things to them and really challenge them.

It's the parentification that happens in every big family. The older kids aren't kids anymore they're more parents because the actual parents had too many kids to actually cope. The boys aren't going to actually be getting a proper home education and I hope that's picked up on in time for them to get an education they deserve

I noticed that too. That's a good point that the older kids don't get to an activity there that's suitable for their age. It's just look after a sibling.

Chloe made a big thing a couple of videos ago showing what work they do. It still seems like it's self taught through work books or the ipad.

I wonder if the kids are on the same level as kids who to school.

Can they example write about what they learnt at Scitech. Or is it Mum had her phone out filming as I watched a triplet. Dad has 3 kids strapped to him.

I think it maybe worth a try just taking them to school activities in small groups so they can get the full experience.

Leave Chloe at home with the younger kids.

100% this! I have three kids and feel guilty as I can’t do as much reading / homework with my oldest because of the fact I have three. I have two boys and a girl and my eldest loves having a sister too now, so I feel that offsets the loss of attention. Four kids MAX for being able to supply enough attention for good individual learning; three if you work too.

I have two, and the sole reason I don't have more despite the fact we would love to is that I couldn't give them the attention they deserve if I had more than that. A friend of mine has 4 and she can give them the attention, I can't divide myself further. There is no good reason to have sp many children.
 
I had five kids close together including a set of twins. At one stage I had five under eight. I did not notice it much at the time but now they are grown up they often say I can't remember doing that with you. I just did not have time to do activities and that was without homeschooling and five other children to look after.
