Chloe and Beans

[Director of Mugs]

It’s vlogmas , they’re trying to post everyday.

Does anyone else think she was acting really strange at the end of the vlogmas day 7 vlog? She was being really erratic looking everywhere and barely paying attention to Ro when she asked him a question and he was answering. She also looks pregnant but it could just be her shape after 10 kids!

The flights to Hobart discussion was weird. I think it's finally hit her how expensive it is having so kids. Chloe was right the cost for all 12 of them to fly to Hobart is close to $10k. Plus there's accommodation and other expenses.

Interesting that she took the older boys out for a drink. She really sounded like she had to get out the house. Yet she complained the wind was cold (it's been high 30s here) and the noise of the cockatoos. It must have been a sensory overload for her.

Having no time to yourself must be exhausting. She's never alone.

Have those kids ever been on holiday?

Have those kids ever been on holiday?

I remember they took the triplets on a plane when they were babies and had issues with that. I don't think there's been much other travelling recently other than trips to the park and library.

Unless they’re gifted return flights and accommodation, there will be no holidays for the whole family.

I really don't like how Chloe pushes her own issues onto the kids.

First it was doing to a normal school is bad. As home-school you can do your own thing.

Swimming lessons every day is repetitive and it's too much for Chloe to take the kids every day.

Now the stockings don't match. Her Mum sent her one with a Z for Zelda, but Chloe can't handle that it doesn't match the others. Asking the kids if Zelda should just have the A One as her name ends in A. Or turn the N on its side for a Z. The poor kids seeing all the other stockings and most likely thinking their Mum is pregnant again. Also saying that as the stocking is "different" means Zelda isn't apart of the family.

I understand Chloe shared she's on the spectrum (can't remember if it was autism or ADHD) and this is a trait. It just seems hard that she doesn't have help. The stockings don't need to be all the same. I get it doesn't look right, but who cares it's for the kids.

It’s hard because who the hell would want to help when there’s 10 kids it would be no easy task! It’s almost like she needs to and should be utilising school & childcare.

I’m autistic & adhd & ocd (all diagnosed and managed and medicated by my psychiatrist) and i understand the fixation/struggle with something being “not right” but i know for me (and i suspect is the same for Chloe) those fixations and anxieties about something menial often means theres something much bigger that hasn’t been addressed or that is weighing on us.

With such a big load to manage it seems reckless if she is putting that pressure on to homeschool and not use childcare etc when she will at some point fall apart and be of no use to her kids!

It sure isn't! Her Mum moved to Tassie. Chloe and Ro have no help. Her sister has her own kids to look after.

Thank you for sharing that. I can see where you're coming.

I know there's a place for home-schooling. I just don't believe Chloe and Ro are the right people for it. Chloe mentioned that they had to prepare a lot of work the Education Department and it's going to get harder when the younger kids start school.

If she ever gets more babies... She is the type of person to name the baby a name that starts with the letter(s) of the left over stockings that match...........

I think she has ASD. Some of the kids definitely do too. She could homeschool some, but some of them I"m sure would like to be in a mainstream school. I remember on one of her videos she mentioned being worried about the amount of sickness that came from school, but that will always happen when kid first go to school. You can't keep 10 kids in a bubble.

She looks exhausted- I wonder if she's pregnant again. She looks like she needs an iron infusion.
