Isla if you read these comments,It was you that made a lot of people watch this channel when it first started, you were mega cute then and still a lovely young girl now.
I just want to comment, I dont think theres anything wrong with what Isla said about being autistic, she actually worded it very well and I appreciate her sensitivity around the subject however, Sarah, please dont say things like 'there's nothing wrong with Isla' because having autism doesnt mean theres something 'wrong' with you, you are just different and percieve the world differently. I just want to give you the opportunity to understand that it can be damaging to use connotations such as 'wrong' or 'bad' with autism, autism can be a really cool superpower like Jace's eye superpower, it doesn't mean there is something 'wrong' with him and I noticed you reworded that question I suppose because the question was 'is there something still wrong with Jace's eye' and if thats the case, I hope you can see that by you wanting to reword that question for Jace's sake, then it would be nice for you to not use such connotations with autism or learning difficulties. There would be absolutely nothing 'wrong' with Isla behaviour if she did or didn't have autism and you being so defensive over those 'assumptions' can also be taken negatively as if its offensive to be asked if you are autistic. Another way of looking at it is if someone asked Isla if she was homosexual and then you said 'there's nothing wrong with the way Isla behaves, shes not gay! It really irks me when people ask that' If someone asked me if I'm gay when I'm not, I just say no and leave it at that, because its not offensive and its not a bad thing or wrong thing in any way. I hope you understand how this can come across. Btw the specific part I'm referring to is said at 52:57. Just a heads up for when future referring to developmental disabilities.
Fantastic comment really well said 👏🏻👏🏻👏🏻 from a very proud mum of a beautiful brilliant kind hearted sweet and gentle autistic daughter I was quite upset and shocked with Sarah’s response she came across very ignorant and rude I do hope she realises her mistake and apologies but I doubt she will because she thinks she’s perfect.
I’m so glad you commented on this! As someone with autism and adhd I found it quite alarming the word ‘nothing wrong’ being used in relation to autism! Being autistic doesn’t mean there’s something wrong with you! I feel like societies understanding on autism and neurological disabilities is so slim, we’re never going to beat the stigma
I agree and I think the fact Isla herself addressed the questions so sensitively with the understanding there isn’t anything wrong with autism and that she didn’t offend those who do have it but she was simply addressing she isn’t shows how kind and emotionally intelligent she is and thoughtful with her words I would say that says a lot in comparison to many other 12 year olds just because she likes Lego and dresses etc doesn’t make her immature she really is lovely
@@laylaheneaghan1331 I really do agree! I think it probably helps that being a female and autistic is more commonly seen on tiktok and so maybe she's had some exposure to autism that doesn't look stereotypical, and therefore can see that being autistic doesn't make you an alien, also the fact that their friend they go to theme parks with is autistic is very worrying that Sarah can make such statements online regarding that something is 'wrong' with autistic people and therefore, maybe Isla also is sensitive and more educated on the matter having a friend who is on the spectrum makes her less judgemental and hold stereotypes against autistic people. I think Isla is fantastic at conveying her emotions and really appreciate her sensitivity around the topic. She's a very wise young girl.
@@CharlotteIvyI completely agree with you! However considering Isla is the next generation for our young people and that she handled the topic so maturely and sensitively makes me think our future generations will beat the stigma. Unfortunately, Sarah still seems to have the mindset of the 70's and therefore still sees autism as an insult and offensive. Those generations won't be mainstream for much longer though! Just look at the acceptance for LGBTQ+ communities. Young women like Isla are going to propel the acceptance of everyone and it's amazing to see such a young person be so wise around sensitive topics.
It's wrong to call people autistic and assume they have autism. But for future reference, the way that you phrased it with the "there's nothing wrong with Isla" is a bit tactless. There is nothing wrong with autistic people full stop. We're just a little different :) Not hating though EDIT: Also, the problem here isn't really Isla being called autistic, as there would be nothing wrong with that and I'm sure you'd love her just the same if she was. But, there is a problem with the fact that people are calling her autistic as an insult, as a teenage girl at school, I often hear the word "autism" get thrown around as an insult and online and it is so incredibly hurtful. Perhaps with your large platform, you can discourage people from staying stuff like this, not just for Isla (although she's such a sweet girl and you have every right to defend her), but also for the autistic people who do not want to be thought of as these strange aliens. :)
Excatly this, we love the inghams and have watched for years me and my daughter watched this vlog and my daughter is 13 and recently diagnosed asd I had to reassure her that autism isn’t a bad thing just see the world differently than others , the word is thrown about so badly by people just let people be who they wanna be x
I agree there nothing wrong with having autism I suffer with learning disabilities and just because I have it doesn't mean I am going to be like everyone it just means I am slower at things and need help
💯 agree I did not like the way the mum was so offended by the idea that her daughter may be on the autism spectrum and saying no there is definitely nothing wrong with Isla😮 Well Sarah there is nothing wrong with having autism either it’s just a different way of seeing the world in-fact autistic people are the sweetest kindest most honest and trustworthy people you will ever meet so definitely not something to be ashamed of .
@@ourcherishedcherubs your so right so what if she did have autism there nothing wrong it just means you see the world differently so what if she had special needs I suffer with a learning disabilities and may need help always be proud of who you as jesus made us in his own way
I do understand the defence for Isla and the comments around autism. But I'm going to come at the comments from another angle. So I've got a 13yr old, who in my eyes I've never thought she had any sort of alternative needs, never saw any clues of being on the spectrum etc, but let me tell you now, its such a massive variety of things that can all add to being neurodivergent or on the spectrum. My girl has small things throughout her life that I would of absolutely said we're just normal quirks. Turns out after hormones hit she saw a few struggles (minor things that all added up to become overwhelming things to her) and she's been with a therapist for anxiety, who's put her forward for autism spectrum diagnosis and adhd. So it's very often no way near as big of differences as we once perceived... she's absolutely a normal 13 year old x
@CarlieMaria28 I mean she's not asked for the check, as she had no clue about it either. It was more she was struggling with anxieties a little and after in depth talks we found she has many little traits of both. It's honestly no way near as obvious as people once thought, nor as obvious as TV and movies make out
Sounds a lot like me growing up, I was just seen as a bit different or “quirky” and I ended up struggling a lot once I hit my teens, I left school early and never successfully returned to education. In my late teens autism was mentioned to me but I never pursued a diagnosis until my daughter was going through the process and I decided to after realising how much she was like me as a child. The understanding of autism in women and girls we have now is only very recently discovered about 10/15 years ago it was believed autism was very rare in girls. Now we know it’s just as common for boys and girls it just presents differently. Not to say that Isla is autistic, only a professional could make that decision but there’s definitely still a lack of understanding of what autism looks like in girls
I love Isla, always have done, but one thing I LOVE about her is she’s not in a rush to grow up. Isla, I’m almost 16 years old and have the same thought. I still dress like I’m an “8 year old” as what other people like to say. I’m also homeschooled and when I was in school I felt the pressure of being like all of the other girls in my class to “fit it” , but since leaving school I’ve seen my true colours. I act how I want, I dress how I want, why? Because I CAN and YOU CAN. It’s so crazy seeing how much peer pressure school has on children, even as young as Isla. Isla, you’re perfect just the way you are. And don’t let ANYONE change that. And I also had an eye patch when I was Jace’s age too. I had a lazy left eye, but never wanted to wear my glasses. But for some reason I just grew out of it and don’t need glasses anymore 12-11 years later. Love you guys so much, been a fan since 2017 ❤
i feel like a mum saying this i know you shouldnt have favourites but i just love isla so much! she is such a precious girl, she reminds me of myself when i was younger and i felt like i grew up too quickly, i look back down and wish i was still playing with toys at islas age and dolls etc, there is nothing wrong with isla, what she enjoys or her behaviour! she is a happy healthy girl clearly🩷✨
I applaud Isla for being her own person & doing her own thing. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with still wanting to play with dolls or toys at the age of 12! There is no reason to rush growing up because speaking from experience, it isn't that great. I honestly wish I wouldn't have been in a rush to grow up. I remember getting together with my younger cousin to play with her dolls when I was 12 & I loved it. A plus to homeschooling is not having the pressures to fit in & grow up at a faster pace like I experienced in regular school. Isla, you are perfect the way you are! You are a sweet, kind, all around lovely girl. Don't pay attention to the haters.
Just FYI you need to be resident in the UK in order to take a UK driving test. You can't take one when you're on holiday there. Izzy would need to take hers in Dubai now, seeing as that's where you're resident.
Was going to say this myself. Ive seen no autistic traits in isla. My girl is autistic, just not diagnosed yet, as still waiting, but pediatric team, play therapy team, school send and a friend( retired pediatric doctor) say 100% she is. When you are with autistic people daily you can usually pick neurospicy people out.
@@lindad1195I think unless you’ve been psychiatrically evaluated you wouldn’t know. Anybody could be autistic and not display external symptoms. My friend was diagnosed in her 30s and not even her family suspected. A lot is traits that go on internally. Theres so many people in 40s/50s in media who have diagnosed later in life. In my experience unless you’re at the severe end of the spectrum you wouldnt know. Girls are great at masking. People shouldn’t imply others are or aren’t in my opinion 😊
I agree i‘m autistic myself and i think it’s sad that when a child nowadays behaves like a child people suspect there must be something going on 😢 i love seeing children behaving like children being playful and stuff
Milas section cracked me up. I’ve had literally the worst day and her hmmms and cheese answers really made me laugh. Shes such a cheeky little soul in the best way 💜
Can I just say Isla is the sweetest most sincere young lady,she came across so well in this video,showed her true self,so sweet genuine and kind , never change ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Comment for isla ; don't ever rush to grow up , it's OK, but not that amazing . You have a lovely personality , you glow with health and well being .. I say to my girls , I have 3 , " don't race to the end , cause the end is all there is " my last word ... be yourself , its wonderful x😊
Just when I didn’t think you could sink any lower with your exploitation of those poor institutionalised children, any decent mother wouldn’t dream of inviting strangers to comment on their children, let alone then telling them the negative things people have said about them. Disgusting
Oh sweet Isla. You are so so precious. You are perfect. I don’t see how anyone sees that there could be anything wrong with you. Stay young as long as you want. There is nothing wrong with it. I’m 45 and I still buy toys for myself sometimes. I’m sorry people are so judgey. 💜💜💜
There is nothing wrong with having autism either maybe some people were just curious as my daughter has autism and she is very young at heart and sweet and gentle just like Isla so maybe people were just curious not judging as I said there is nothing bad about being autistic most autistic people are the sweetest kindest honest people ever I find it strange that Sarah was so offended by the idea of her daughter having special needs but that says more about her really doesn’t it?
I really loved this life update!! It truly shows how amazingly different and independent children can be. I have 3 myself, 2 boys and one little girl and I’m just in awe at their own little personalities. I really appreciate you sharing your children’s learning, how you teach them, just the little things and tips that you give because it gives me some great ideas in parenthood with my partner. All of your children are so smart !! I also have a 2 year old and Mila reminds me so much of him both little firecrackers! lol. Thank you for sharing your family with us as always 🥰
I think Isla is the most intelligent out of all of them. It's a real shame she won't reach her full potential because of the lack of a full and varied education
@@oliviagriffiths4850 no, but I can fully imagine that it's not full and comprehensive. And that's going by the minimal amount of time they spend on education
Isla has a beautiful kind soul. She is delightful and growing into a very pretty young woman. All your children are marvelous and loved listening to them answering their questions ❤
Hi Sarah, that thing that esme is describing sounds like OCD (as someone who used to have it) and felt a bit weird when guys said “before anyone says it there’s nothing wrong with her” so there’s something wrong with someone having OCD?
She did the exact same thing when discussing that Isla didn't have autism. I don't think people realise how damaging these negative connotations are. She wouldn't of said there's something 'wrong' with being gay, its no different...
@@bexclark4769 yep, 3 years ago! They did a whole video about it. If I remember right I think they did some special activities with her brought her some surprises and she was cured and they never mentioned it again. Clearly is something that still affects her and something she has struggled to cope with previously
Would deffo love a part 2! Loved watching this your children are incredible each and everyone of them isla your perfect the way u r Isabelle stay at home as long as possible wish i had my time bk again id do things sooo much different Esme well 😂 continue to glow and be you Mila and jace well no words to explain how adorable they both are and aurora such a sweetie love you all ❤😊❤
Sarah you are so lucky to have your gorgeous big family. Loved seeing you like this. It’s so interesting that children can be so different from each other even with the same parents in the same environment. What an absolute credit they all are to you. Your deep love for them is so apparent. They gave such thoughtful, genuine answers to the questions. For some reason, Isla, you really stood out to me in this video. What a beautiful soul you are! 💜
As someone with autism and adhd the wording of ‘there is nothing wrong’ is quite insulting. Having autism is not like having an illness, and there is nothing ‘wrong’ with being autistic. We have a long way to go to beat the stigma clearly.
Omg Esme! Sing longer ❤ that was good. I love seeing the kids grow and change thier minds. I also love how u handled the Autism question ❤ ty for this amazing video ❤
I honestly love you all so much. Isla's little question time made me smile so much. She's such a special gorgeous little girl and Sarah you are an amazing mum! Loved watching this❤️
I agree with you Sarah, I have autism and still play with dolls even tho I'm a teenager there's nothing wrong playing with dolls or isla matching with her sisters. All your kids are perfect they way they are, as I can tell non of them are neglected. I love how you let them be themselves and don't have to hide their personalities. Love you guys so much ❤
There is nothing wrong living at home after you turn 18. There is no rules that you have to leave home after you turn 18. I was in my late 20s when I left home to move in a flat closer to work, but I was still visiting home every weekend.
Isla is just the sweetest soul 😍 I’m 29 and on the waiting list for an autism referral. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being autistic, it’s not a problem, but I don’t think Isla shows any signs of it tbh. People just need to mind their own business. I’m sure if Sarah thought there was something there, she’d get her tested. Kids grow up too fast these days, let her enjoy her childhood as it doesn’t last long 😂 sending love to Isla xx
I absolutely loved the vlog. It is great hearing from the 4 oldest. Mila is cute but just wants her cheese right now. LOL. I hated school bigtime and would have loved to be homeschooled. It wasnt an option back then. I love how the kids have all got their own individual likes and dislikes for their age groups. Dont change just because other people think you should you should be doing something differently.❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was my absolute favorite vlog ever , love the girls and their different personalities and my God Sarah you are such an amazing mum to those girls and Jace,honestly we all need a parent like you and I’m 52 mum of two 😂. I have a huge soft spot for Isla she is an absolute pet and is just so pretty and natural and so glad she is not in a rush to act too grown up . Mila is nuts and so funny ,Esme is tapped 😂 and I love how she has grown into herself . Isabelle is an absolute rock and such a caring sister . Jace is a boy version of Isla and he is clever and such a funny little caring character and he’ll make a great Spider-Man grown up . Look forward to those vlogs 😂
Loved every minute Sarah 🤎 . Young Isla is a sweetie, caring soul & deserves nothing less than 💛. Stay just as u are sweet girl, thats the way I love you 💛 . Jace, what a special Rolo big Ted to the two littler Teds 💛. He melts my heart with everything about him…💛
Isla, you are perfect! Don’t listen to anyone that says you are autistic or anything else. I can’t believe someone would say that! Are they insane!!???
Even as an autistic person it's rude to assume something that isn't true, if she wanted to open up about it she could. Isla should never have gotten that question in the 1st place
Isla, you are an amazing and beautiful young girl 🩷. You may enjoy dolls etc (normal for a 12 year old) but you are still far more gracious and mature than any of the ignorant people criticising a child behind a screen in their spare time. Keep being yourself sweetie 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I am 41 and I still love rainbows unicorns glitter sparkles dresses and ribbons so always be you do not change Isla you are amazing. Love the new hair Esme, it suits you. Love your book recommendations Isabelle, thank you all for sharing parts of yourselves that we wouldn't normally see, yes please do a part 2
I just want to say that we were homeschooled as well, and it makes me feel happy hereing you and Isla talking about growing up at your own pace. I Kayla also like playing with toys until I was 14 and I used to think that I was weird cause a lot of girls my age was dating and dressing slutty so thank you Sarah seriously you just brought me to tears but in a good way. sending you all love you guys are amazing.
Really really enjoyed this video! So nice to see each of the children individually! I must say all of the children are so lovely and polite. I do have such a soft spot for Mila 🥺😍
There is NOTHING wrong with Isla. I was homeschooled and played with barbies till I was 15. Everyone is different and Isla is growing at her own pace. Don't be in a hurry to grow up, Isla❤️
@@haz1222it does though, if it didn’t mean anything was wrong then there would be no need for ppl to be diagnosed with it nor would it be considered a disorder
@@hey5032people seek a diagnosis to understand why they feel or act the way they do or to be able to access extra help in school/work/life and many more reasons. It doesn’t mean anything is ‘wrong’ with them. Don’t be cruel in the comments just for the sake of it!
@@hey5032 it’s just different not wrong and it’s definitely NOT a disorder please educate yourself before making silly comments the correct terminology is neurodivergent not ASD .
Isla you are awesome! I have triplet 2 year old granddaughters. If they are half as awesome as you, I would be very proud! Please never change, be YOU, because you are enough and real! Your friend Kathy from Montgomery NY
i love all of you but i can say that isla is amazing and she is a great young girl and i love her personallity and i have watched you since you were young and loved watching you grow up to who you are now and i love how you are not growing up to quickly like all the pre teens including me but i like being a bit more grown up but i love how you are now keep being your confident loving cute adorable self i love you.🥰
Wow would never had thought for a minute Isla is autistic (have family members on the spectrum so very familiar with the traits). You do you Isla! My 18 year old daughter has been to one party in her life (wasn't a fan), and also sits home at weekends with her boyfriend (he's almost 19) and plays board games, also build lego, and have even sewn matching pj pants and made teddy bears. Nothing wrong with being who you want to be. I'd rather my kids be themselves than a sheep.
Loved this question time with all of the children and hearing their responses. They’re all so very different and so incredibly special each in their own way ❤ Mila is a comedienne just like Emsé though you are absolutely right 🥹 when she said Aurora Cheezy Belle I burst out laughing 😂 what a funny little girl and she knows she’s funny too xx
I finally got around to watching this vid. It flew by!! I love your family so much. All of your children while different are so precious and sweet. I loved spending time with them through you.
isla i was the same as you at 12 all the way through to i was like 17 or 18, dolls, pink, hair, glitter, everything! heck i still love dolls. theres nothing wrong with it at all, im 21 now so!! youre a wonderful and creative beautiful young girl, keep being the exact way you want to be
I love when 12 year old girls still play with dolls and act like 12 year old like I was when I was 12 and now 50. I tell my 11 year old granddaughter to please don't let your friends make you act older than u are, enjoy being kid ❤ love your family been watching from the start 😊❤
Hi! Just wanted to say if Isla wants to do acting, she defo should do some acting lessons, it’s sort of a hard thing to just jump into when you’re older, since at auditions there’s lots of people who’ve been doing it for ages. If she starts lessons or private lessons she could learn monologues and have a good chance at getting auditions in her future if it’s something she’s interested in! Also it’s fun and good learning experience and confidence building anyway! Best of luck to her though, you can tell she’s a really sweet person!
I just wanted to leave a comment to say you have beautiful children…and that eye superpower of Jace’s is so cool and I bet no other superhero has that power! 🦸🏻♂️
Aurora can't wait to see you grow Mila your a wild cheesy girl who keeps you busy. Jace your a cool dude it doesn't matter if your hairs long or short your still the same. Isla don't grow up to quick just be u. Trust me growing older isn't as much fun. Just continue playing with lego or water till u want to stop. Esme you seem to have grown up so quick but it's great ur a great role model for isla and she can talk to you. Izzy the oldest the more sensible one but every day is different. Follow your dreams. I loved this long sit down vlog. Haters will always hate but Continue to watch you anyway. Strange bunch ❤❤
I love that Isla is Isla, not trying to be someone else. We can all see that she is getting a little bit more into the same things like ESMÉ. On their birthdays to, them two is always showing each other the gifts like "OMG ESMĖ" "ISLA...ISLA" :P so funny.. One question to you Isla, will you do Isla Cam again?:)
It was so nice hearing about your 6 lovely children! They are so sweet and loving with there own fantastic personalities! i'm so pleased to hear they are all doing great, and loving their life in Dubai! It's so important to feel happy in a place you love to live! Lots of love from Australia!
Its so amazing to see all the kids give completely honest answers, They are absolutely so so beautiful and precious :) Aurora, is absolutely so adorable, Mila is absolutely so sweet, and I can tell she keeps you all laughing and in good spirits, Isla, You my dear , are a beautiful girl, And your future is bright :) Esme, the world is yours sweetie, Never stop reaching for the stars, Isabelle, You are a bright young lady, You have definitely grown up to be a very amazing person. Never ever stop being you :)
Jace has captured my heart. He has got to be the sweetest little boy ever. The way he interacts with Mila and Aurora is amazing. He is never rough with either of them and seems to always want to help them (anyone really) if he can. He is such a quiet child that allows everyone else to be in the spotlight while he remains blissfully happy to blend into the background. Soon after Jace was born, I lost my only child. I was mindnumbingly devastated and wanted little or nothing to do with anyone. I have followed you for quite a few years but one morning, your vlog was about Jace, and that vlog literally pulled me from the depths of hell. I look for him each and every day because he brings peace to my heart. Much love from across the pond. XOXOXO Ellen Beautiful, sweet Isla, there are so many people in the world who are so unhappy with their lives. Some of them unfortunately choose to talk about others in a negative way to make themselves feel better. YOU ISLA, are a breath of fresh air. You are always yourself and you seem to be a happy, intelligent girl. Forget those people, just continue to be YOU!!
Isla you are amazing. I remember being just like you when I was 12. I wish my 12 year old daughter was more like you but since going to secondary school she completely changed through fear of being bullied if she didn't fit in. Keep being you 💖
Isla is a very sweet and well adjusted 12 year-old. I was very similar in that I played with Barbies at that age. My daughter also was similar. We both grew up to be well-adjusted adults and Isla will too. She’s so sweet. I’m glad you speak out about those who think there is something wrong with Isla, she’s perfectly Isla. As for Esme, my son really didn’t like school but he loves to learn and has found lots of ways to learn that suit him and I believe Esme will also find alternative ways to learn. All of your kids are amazing!
I live in America and I wouldn’t send my own child to high school here! Now my two kids went to high school here but this was in the 90s but I wouldn’t send them now not with what goes on there!
i know you said isla doesn’t have OCD but i am diagnosed with it and the night time routine really hit me 😂 i cannot sleep / relax until everyone says night love you see you in the morning how weird i’ve never seen someone else have this!! x
@@angelajenner4301 why would any parent ask strangers to ask questions about their kids and then when they get unpleasant ones tell the kid? It’s insane.
Esme sweetie, the movie doesn't show what American high school really is here, Imean when I was in high school a hundred years ago was so different than now, I graduated in 1982 I loved my senior yearwas absolutely amazing but sweet darling things have changed here, I wish fir you the best experiences life can bring, you are simply beautiful and deserve the very best. You keep moving forward and just live life!
Hey Sarah, I was just watching the birthday day out video for Esmé’s bday. I was commenting on the baby and even think of Mila with the heat. I looked up some ideas on how to monitor a baby’s body temp and they sell little stickers that you can get to put on to indicate a fever but would also indicate id she’s just way overheated and unable to cool her body down. And I was thinking it might be useful to keep a forehead scan thermometer which would avoid waking any baby up but allow you to keep an eye on their body temp so they don’t get so hot they are harmed. Also thought two things might help for diaper bag as well as a portable thermometer scanner. One is just a simple small spray bottle with water in it so you can mist her and help her have more evaporative cooling, and maybe for an urgent situation keep one of those first aid ice packs or a couple that if the smaller three got too hot you could have a fast cooling option. Might even be useful for you there when it’s so hot and sometimes plans change or lines and traffic and all mean you are in the heat longer than planned. You might want to keep a method to cool down in case a car broke down for everyone in the car like some water, dry electrolyte powder sticks in your diaper bag or first aid kit, ice packs and a small pop up umbrella in case you got emergency stuck somewhere. I know it’s a city so there are many available services but sometimes weird things happen and you find yourself stranded . Def get a cheap temp scanner for Aura and Mila and keep some water in the car when you go out even if you don’t need it and some form of shade. The hot there seems kinda scary for a baby. I know you do your best. Just wanted to offer some ideas to keep Aura sage. ❤
Isla please don’t change you are perfect just the way you are , I love how you are growing up without pressure, stay a child as long as you can your an adult a very long time x
Isla I’m so proud of how you have answered the questions and how you have spoke up for yourself! Keep it up and stay sweet! Sarah you did have problems getting Jace and Mila staying in their beds because you used to bribe them with a surprise all the time!
Well done to Isla for answering that question but how grown up for a 12year old she should be so proud of herself amazing young lady to all you’re children are amazing do not mind the people who are trying to be rude you are amazing parents to ur kids if anyone has anything negative that’s on them not on you.
Loved this catchup of all the children. Today is my 34th anniversary of passing my driving test and i wish i had done the intensive driving lessons,so enjoy Izzy. Also how lucky are you Izzy to have your dad on hand to help you with your businesses. I havent got the courage or know how to even start even though i bought The Matrix(im prob to old). So happy your all happy livin ur new life ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
This was lovely getting to know them, could you do a part two , like when you have been in Dubai for 6 months to see if your views are the same or different. I mean that in a nice way .love your vlogs on both channels

I agree and I think the fact Isla herself addressed the questions so sensitively with the understanding there isn’t anything wrong with autism and that she didn’t offend those who do have it but she was simply addressing she isn’t shows how kind and emotionally intelligent she is and thoughtful with her words I would say that says a lot in comparison to many other 12 year olds just because she likes Lego and dresses etc doesn’t make her immature she really is lovely
@@laylaheneaghan1331 I really do agree! I think it probably helps that being a female and autistic is more commonly seen on tiktok and so maybe she's had some exposure to autism that doesn't look stereotypical, and therefore can see that being autistic doesn't make you an alien, also the fact that their friend they go to theme parks with is autistic is very worrying that Sarah can make such statements online regarding that something is 'wrong' with autistic people and therefore, maybe Isla also is sensitive and more educated on the matter having a friend who is on the spectrum makes her less judgemental and hold stereotypes against autistic people. I think Isla is fantastic at conveying her emotions and really appreciate her sensitivity around the topic. She's a very wise young girl.
@@CharlotteIvyI completely agree with you! However considering Isla is the next generation for our young people and that she handled the topic so maturely and sensitively makes me think our future generations will beat the stigma. Unfortunately, Sarah still seems to have the mindset of the 70's and therefore still sees autism as an insult and offensive. Those generations won't be mainstream for much longer though! Just look at the acceptance for LGBTQ+ communities. Young women like Isla are going to propel the acceptance of everyone and it's amazing to see such a young person be so wise around sensitive topics.
Why did I cry at the interview with Isla? She’s such a beautiful girl. Never change Isla sweetheart 💕💕
I agree she’s so lovely
Isla is just the cutest such a beautiful young lady x
Isla has always been my favourite ❤
It's wrong to call people autistic and assume they have autism. But for future reference, the way that you phrased it with the "there's nothing wrong with Isla" is a bit tactless. There is nothing wrong with autistic people full stop. We're just a little different :) Not hating though
EDIT: Also, the problem here isn't really Isla being called autistic, as there would be nothing wrong with that and I'm sure you'd love her just the same if she was. But, there is a problem with the fact that people are calling her autistic as an insult, as a teenage girl at school, I often hear the word "autism" get thrown around as an insult and online and it is so incredibly hurtful. Perhaps with your large platform, you can discourage people from staying stuff like this, not just for Isla (although she's such a sweet girl and you have every right to defend her), but also for the autistic people who do not want to be thought of as these strange aliens. :)
Excatly this, we love the inghams and have watched for years me and my daughter watched this vlog and my daughter is 13 and recently diagnosed asd I had to reassure her that autism isn’t a bad thing just see the world differently than others , the word is thrown about so badly by people just let people be who they wanna be x
I agree there nothing wrong with having autism I suffer with learning disabilities and just because I have it doesn't mean I am going to be like everyone it just means I am slower at things and need help
💯 agree I did not like the way the mum was so offended by the idea that her daughter may be on the autism spectrum and saying no there is definitely nothing wrong with Isla😮 Well Sarah there is nothing wrong with having autism either it’s just a different way of seeing the world in-fact autistic people are the sweetest kindest most honest and trustworthy people you will ever meet so definitely not something to be ashamed of .
@@ourcherishedcherubs your so right so what if she did have autism there nothing wrong it just means you see the world differently so what if she had special needs I suffer with a learning disabilities and may need help always be proud of who you as jesus made us in his own way
I do understand the defence for Isla and the comments around autism. But I'm going to come at the comments from another angle. So I've got a 13yr old, who in my eyes I've never thought she had any sort of alternative needs, never saw any clues of being on the spectrum etc, but let me tell you now, its such a massive variety of things that can all add to being neurodivergent or on the spectrum. My girl has small things throughout her life that I would of absolutely said we're just normal quirks. Turns out after hormones hit she saw a few struggles (minor things that all added up to become overwhelming things to her) and she's been with a therapist for anxiety, who's put her forward for autism spectrum diagnosis and adhd. So it's very often no way near as big of differences as we once perceived... she's absolutely a normal 13 year old x
I knew someone who asked his parents if he could get tested for autism at similar age. He got diagnosed and so did his dad around the same time.
@CarlieMaria28 I mean she's not asked for the check, as she had no clue about it either. It was more she was struggling with anxieties a little and after in depth talks we found she has many little traits of both. It's honestly no way near as obvious as people once thought, nor as obvious as TV and movies make out
Sounds a lot like me growing up, I was just seen as a bit different or “quirky” and I ended up struggling a lot once I hit my teens, I left school early and never successfully returned to education. In my late teens autism was mentioned to me but I never pursued a diagnosis until my daughter was going through the process and I decided to after realising how much she was like me as a child. The understanding of autism in women and girls we have now is only very recently discovered about 10/15 years ago it was believed autism was very rare in girls. Now we know it’s just as common for boys and girls it just presents differently. Not to say that Isla is autistic, only a professional could make that decision but there’s definitely still a lack of understanding of what autism looks like in girls
I love Isla, always have done, but one thing I LOVE about her is she’s not in a rush to grow up. Isla, I’m almost 16 years old and have the same thought. I still dress like I’m an “8 year old” as what other people like to say. I’m also homeschooled and when I was in school I felt the pressure of being like all of the other girls in my class to “fit it” , but since leaving school I’ve seen my true colours. I act how I want, I dress how I want, why? Because I CAN and YOU CAN. It’s so crazy seeing how much peer pressure school has on children, even as young as Isla. Isla, you’re perfect just the way you are. And don’t let ANYONE change that. And I also had an eye patch when I was Jace’s age too. I had a lazy left eye, but never wanted to wear my glasses. But for some reason I just grew out of it and don’t need glasses anymore 12-11 years later.
Love you guys so much, been a fan since 2017 ❤
i feel like a mum saying this i know you shouldnt have favourites but i just love isla so much! she is such a precious girl, she reminds me of myself when i was younger and i felt like i grew up too quickly, i look back down and wish i was still playing with toys at islas age and dolls etc, there is nothing wrong with isla, what she enjoys or her behaviour! she is a happy healthy girl clearly🩷✨
I don’t have favourite I love my kids the same there are twins there got Autism i still love them
Isla is such a sweetheart
I applaud Isla for being her own person & doing her own thing. There is absolutely NOTHING wrong with still wanting to play with dolls or toys at the age of 12! There is no reason to rush growing up because speaking from experience, it isn't that great. I honestly wish I wouldn't have been in a rush to grow up. I remember getting together with my younger cousin to play with her dolls when I was 12 & I loved it. A plus to homeschooling is not having the pressures to fit in & grow up at a faster pace like I experienced in regular school. Isla, you are perfect the way you are! You are a sweet, kind, all around lovely girl. Don't pay attention to the haters.
Just FYI you need to be resident in the UK in order to take a UK driving test. You can't take one when you're on holiday there. Izzy would need to take hers in Dubai now, seeing as that's where you're resident.
Good on isla for not being a sheep, shes bloody cracking, that girl def knows what she wants.
💯 percent
I don’t know why anyone would think Isla is autistic! There’s nothing wrong with being autistic at all but Isla does not exhibit any autistic traits.
Was going to say this myself. Ive seen no autistic traits in isla. My girl is autistic, just not diagnosed yet, as still waiting, but pediatric team, play therapy team, school send and a friend( retired pediatric doctor) say 100% she is. When you are with autistic people daily you can usually pick neurospicy people out.
@@tonihoward5353 Absolutely! I have two autistic grandchildren myself so you and I know!
@@lindad1195I think unless you’ve been psychiatrically evaluated you wouldn’t know. Anybody could be autistic and
not display external symptoms. My friend was diagnosed in her 30s and not even her family suspected. A lot is traits that go on internally. Theres so many people in 40s/50s in media who have diagnosed later in life. In my experience unless you’re at the severe end
of the spectrum you wouldnt know.
Girls are great at masking.
People shouldn’t imply others are or aren’t in my opinion 😊
I agree i‘m autistic myself and i think it’s sad that when a child nowadays behaves like a child people suspect there must be something going on 😢 i love seeing children behaving like children being playful and stuff
@@tonihoward5353what’s an autistic person look like? I’m AuDHD (a 36 year old female)
I love how Mila says “hmmmm”. And rolls her eyes whenever you ask her a question!
What your favourite food cheese lol
Milas section cracked me up. I’ve had literally the worst day and her hmmms and cheese answers really made me laugh. Shes such a cheeky little soul in the best way 💜
Can I just say Isla is the sweetest most sincere young lady,she came across so well in this video,showed her true self,so sweet genuine and kind , never change ❤❤❤❤❤❤
Comment for isla ; don't ever rush to grow up , it's OK, but not that amazing . You have a lovely personality , you glow with health and well being .. I say to my girls , I have 3 , " don't race to the end , cause the end is all there is " my last word ... be yourself , its wonderful x😊
Just when I didn’t think you could sink any lower with your exploitation of those poor institutionalised children, any decent mother wouldn’t dream of inviting strangers to comment on their children, let alone then telling them the negative things people have said about them. Disgusting
Felt so bad for Isla you could see how upset she felt 😢 why would people even comment about autism or anything like that, let the girl be 12
They shouldn't used kid for money
Ikr I love Isla I haven’t met her but she seems so sweet ❤
@@EmmaLop-sn4kcthere don’t grow up
@@EmmaLop-sn4kchere u are watching them anyway.
@@EmmaLop-sn4kc doesn’t mean people should still comment things like that .. she’s a child
Oh sweet Isla. You are so so precious. You are perfect. I don’t see how anyone sees that there could be anything wrong with you. Stay young as long as you want. There is nothing wrong with it. I’m 45 and I still buy toys for myself sometimes. I’m sorry people are so judgey. 💜💜💜
There is nothing wrong with having autism either maybe some people were just curious as my daughter has autism and she is very young at heart and sweet and gentle just like Isla so maybe people were just curious not judging as I said there is nothing bad about being autistic most autistic people are the sweetest kindest honest people ever I find it strange that Sarah was so offended by the idea of her daughter having special needs but that says more about her really doesn’t it?
I really loved this life update!! It truly shows how amazingly different and independent children can be. I have 3 myself, 2 boys and one little girl and I’m just in awe at their own little personalities. I really appreciate you sharing your children’s learning, how you teach them, just the little things and tips that you give because it gives me some great ideas in parenthood with my partner. All of your children are so smart !! I also have a 2 year old and Mila reminds me so much of him both little firecrackers! lol. Thank you for sharing your family with us as always 🥰
I think Isla is the most intelligent out of all of them. It's a real shame she won't reach her full potential because of the lack of a full and varied education
So true
How do you know what her education is like daily. Are you seeing her school work???
@@oliviagriffiths4850 no, but I can fully imagine that it's not full and comprehensive. And that's going by the minimal amount of time they spend on education
😂😂😂😂 that's the dumbest comment I've ever read 😂😂😂
@liisamaarit4607 oh, don't you think Isla is intelligent then?
Isla has a beautiful kind soul. She is delightful and growing into a very pretty young woman. All your children are marvelous and loved listening to them answering their questions ❤
Hi Sarah, that thing that esme is describing sounds like OCD (as someone who used to have it) and felt a bit weird when guys said “before anyone says it there’s nothing wrong with her” so there’s something wrong with someone having OCD?
She did the exact same thing when discussing that Isla didn't have autism. I don't think people realise how damaging these negative connotations are. She wouldn't of said there's something 'wrong' with being gay, its no different...
@@Kekw79028 u what?
Wasn’t there a thing ages ago where they said she did have OCD but was getting help for it??
@@cal59281 that’s exactly what I thought during Covid right?
@@bexclark4769 yep, 3 years ago! They did a whole video about it. If I remember right I think they did some special activities with her brought her some surprises and she was cured and they never mentioned it again. Clearly is something that still affects her and something she has struggled to cope with previously
Would deffo love a part 2! Loved watching this your children are incredible each and everyone of them isla your perfect the way u r
Isabelle stay at home as long as possible wish i had my time bk again id do things sooo much different
Esme well 😂 continue to glow and be you
Mila and jace well no words to explain how adorable they both are and aurora such a sweetie love you all ❤😊❤
Sarah you are so lucky to have your gorgeous big family. Loved seeing you like this. It’s so interesting that children can be so different from each other even with the same parents in the same environment. What an absolute credit they all are to you. Your deep love for them is so apparent. They gave such thoughtful, genuine answers to the questions. For some reason, Isla, you really stood out to me in this video. What a beautiful soul you are! 💜
Loved all the chats with all the kids. Would love for part 2. Loved that it was an hour and half Sarah love longer videos xx
Defo need a part two. Loved this vlog. All the children are amazing in their own way. 😊
As someone with autism and adhd the wording of ‘there is nothing wrong’ is quite insulting. Having autism is not like having an illness, and there is nothing ‘wrong’ with being autistic. We have a long way to go to beat the stigma clearly.
Sarah let Isabelle speak for herself your always interupting her.
It’s a mom thing… I do it too. My mom also does it.
Omg Esme! Sing longer ❤ that was good. I love seeing the kids grow and change thier minds. I also love how u handled the Autism question ❤ ty for this amazing video ❤
We love sparkly, frilly, girly outfits! We love Isla's style. When i was 12, i did the same things as isla. I wasnt ready to grow up fast.
Oh i just adore Isla. What a beautiful little soul she is. She is so intelligent, you can see it the way she talks. I hope she never changes
I honestly love you all so much. Isla's little question time made me smile so much. She's such a special gorgeous little girl and Sarah you are an amazing mum! Loved watching this❤️
Take a shot every time mila says hhmmmmm 🤣😍 so cute!🤣
Or cheese 😂
@@rebekahcayzer9164that maid me laugh too
As someone born/raised in the US, high school here is nothing like the movies. That’s an extremely romanticized version of reality😭
Right, I hated it. Wish I had been home schooled
I agree with you Sarah, I have autism and still play with dolls even tho I'm a teenager there's nothing wrong playing with dolls or isla matching with her sisters. All your kids are perfect they way they are, as I can tell non of them are neglected. I love how you let them be themselves and don't have to hide their personalities. Love you guys so much ❤
My kids are 15 there still play with dolls and toys there favourite is there iPad there Autism
@leannescott8822 same, I don't have an I pad but I still play with dolls and I'm 13, I don't get peoples problems with them tbf
There is nothing wrong living at home after you turn 18. There is no rules that you have to leave home after you turn 18. I was in my late 20s when I left home to move in a flat closer to work, but I was still visiting home every weekend.
At least Izzy won’t have pay rent until she 25
@elizabeth-og7rw I did when I got 25
I 25 I am.still at home
Isla is just the sweetest soul 😍 I’m 29 and on the waiting list for an autism referral. There’s absolutely nothing wrong with being autistic, it’s not a problem, but I don’t think Isla shows any signs of it tbh. People just need to mind their own business. I’m sure if Sarah thought there was something there, she’d get her tested. Kids grow up too fast these days, let her enjoy her childhood as it doesn’t last long 😂 sending love to Isla xx
i knew of a teenager who asked his parents if he could get tested for autism. Got diagnosed during covid and dad ended up being diagnosed too.
I absolutely loved the vlog. It is great hearing from the 4 oldest. Mila is cute but just wants her cheese right now. LOL. I hated school bigtime and would have loved to be homeschooled. It wasnt an option back then. I love how the kids have all got their own individual likes and dislikes for their age groups. Dont change just because other people think you should you should be doing something differently.❤❤❤❤❤❤
Let Isabelle answer! You talk over her so much.
This was my absolute favorite vlog ever , love the girls and their different personalities and my God Sarah you are such an amazing mum to those girls and Jace,honestly we all need a parent like you and I’m 52 mum of two 😂. I have a huge soft spot for Isla she is an absolute pet and is just so pretty and natural and so glad she is not in a rush to act too grown up . Mila is nuts and so funny ,Esme is tapped 😂 and I love how she has grown into herself . Isabelle is an absolute rock and such a caring sister . Jace is a boy version of Isla and he is clever and such a funny little caring character and he’ll make a great Spider-Man grown up . Look forward to those vlogs 😂
Loved every minute Sarah 🤎
.
Young Isla is a sweetie, caring soul & deserves nothing less than 💛. Stay just as u are sweet girl, thats the way I love you 💛
.
Jace, what a special Rolo big Ted to the two littler Teds 💛. He melts my heart with everything about him…💛
Isla, you are perfect! Don’t listen to anyone that says you are autistic or anything else. I can’t believe someone would say that! Are they insane!!???
Even as an autistic person it's rude to assume something that isn't true, if she wanted to open up about it she could. Isla should never have gotten that question in the 1st place
what's so offensive about autism
@@jennapaterson5942 people were misjudging her and calling her autistic that's why
My son is autistic and perfect and defo has a higher iq than most adults in this chat. Stop talking like autism is a bad thing.
@oliviagriffiths4850 exactly, autism is a superpower and not a bad thing, I'm 13 and I was doing work for 16/17year olds
Isla, you are an amazing and beautiful young girl 🩷. You may enjoy dolls etc (normal for a 12 year old) but you are still far more gracious and mature than any of the ignorant people criticising a child behind a screen in their spare time.
Keep being yourself sweetie 🫶🏻🫶🏻
I am 41 and I still love rainbows unicorns glitter sparkles dresses and ribbons so always be you do not change Isla you are amazing. Love the new hair Esme, it suits you. Love your book recommendations Isabelle, thank you all for sharing parts of yourselves that we wouldn't normally see, yes please do a part 2
I just want to say that we were homeschooled as well, and it makes me feel happy hereing you and Isla talking about growing up at your own pace. I Kayla also like playing with toys until I was 14 and I used to think that I was weird cause a lot of girls my age was dating and dressing slutty so thank you Sarah seriously you just brought me to tears but in a good way. sending you all love you guys are amazing.
I love this comment 🩷🩷
Isla, enjoy your childhood. Dont rush growing up. You are a beautiful, smart girl.
Isla is 💯 , Sarah's twin
Really really enjoyed this video! So nice to see each of the children individually! I must say all of the children are so lovely and polite. I do have such a soft spot for Mila 🥺😍
I love all your children ! They’re amazing in their own way !
There is NOTHING wrong with Isla. I was homeschooled and played with barbies till I was 15. Everyone is different and Isla is growing at her own pace. Don't be in a hurry to grow up, Isla❤️
There is nothing wrong with being autistic either.
being autistic doesnt mean theres something wrong. :)
@@haz1222it does though, if it didn’t mean anything was wrong then there would be no need for ppl to be diagnosed with it nor would it be considered a disorder
@@hey5032people seek a diagnosis to understand why they feel or act the way they do or to be able to access extra help in school/work/life and many more reasons. It doesn’t mean anything is ‘wrong’ with them. Don’t be cruel in the comments just for the sake of it!
@@hey5032 it’s just different not wrong and it’s definitely NOT a disorder please educate yourself before making silly comments the correct terminology is neurodivergent not ASD .
Isla you are awesome! I have triplet 2 year old granddaughters. If they are half as awesome as you, I would be very proud! Please never change, be YOU, because you are enough and real! Your friend Kathy from Montgomery NY
i love all of you but i can say that isla is amazing and she is a great young girl and i love her personallity and i have watched you since you were young and loved watching you grow up to who you are now and i love how you are not growing up to quickly like all the pre teens including me but i like being a bit more grown up but i love how you are now keep being your confident loving cute adorable self i love you.🥰
Wow would never had thought for a minute Isla is autistic (have family members on the spectrum so very familiar with the traits). You do you Isla! My 18 year old daughter has been to one party in her life (wasn't a fan), and also sits home at weekends with her boyfriend (he's almost 19) and plays board games, also build lego, and have even sewn matching pj pants and made teddy bears. Nothing wrong with being who you want to be. I'd rather my kids be themselves than a sheep.
Loved this question time with all of the children and hearing their responses. They’re all so very different and so incredibly special each in their own way ❤ Mila is a comedienne just like Emsé though you are absolutely right 🥹 when she said Aurora Cheezy Belle I burst out laughing 😂 what a funny little girl and she knows she’s funny too xx
I finally got around to watching this vid. It flew by!! I love your family so much. All of your children while different are so precious and sweet. I loved spending time with them through you.
isla i was the same as you at 12 all the way through to i was like 17 or 18, dolls, pink, hair, glitter, everything! heck i still love dolls. theres nothing wrong with it at all, im 21 now so!! youre a wonderful and creative beautiful young girl, keep being the exact way you want to be
I love when 12 year old girls still play with dolls and act like 12 year old like I was when I was 12 and now 50. I tell my 11 year old granddaughter to please don't let your friends make you act older than u are, enjoy being kid ❤ love your family been watching from the start 😊❤
Hi! Just wanted to say if Isla wants to do acting, she defo should do some acting lessons, it’s sort of a hard thing to just jump into when you’re older, since at auditions there’s lots of people who’ve been doing it for ages. If she starts lessons or private lessons she could learn monologues and have a good chance at getting auditions in her future if it’s something she’s interested in! Also it’s fun and good learning experience and confidence building anyway! Best of luck to her though, you can tell she’s a really sweet person!
I just wanted to leave a comment to say you have beautiful children…and that eye superpower of Jace’s is so cool and I bet no other superhero has that power! 🦸🏻♂️
Aurora can't wait to see you grow
Mila your a wild cheesy girl who keeps you busy.
Jace your a cool dude it doesn't matter if your hairs long or short your still the same.
Isla don't grow up to quick just be u. Trust me growing older isn't as much fun. Just continue playing with lego or water till u want to stop.
Esme you seem to have grown up so quick but it's great ur a great role model for isla and she can talk to you.
Izzy the oldest the more sensible one but every day is different. Follow your dreams.
I loved this long sit down vlog. Haters will always hate but Continue to watch you anyway. Strange bunch
❤❤
Good grief, I feel for Isla, how can people be so cruel, Isla you are amazing, be yourself and never change xxxx
I love that Isla is Isla, not trying to be someone else. We can all see that she is getting a little bit more into the same things like ESMÉ. On their birthdays to, them two is always showing each other the gifts like "OMG ESMĖ" "ISLA...ISLA" :P so funny.. One question to you Isla, will you do Isla Cam again?:)
It was so nice hearing about your 6 lovely children! They are so sweet and loving with there own fantastic personalities! i'm so pleased to hear they are all doing great, and loving their life in Dubai! It's so important to feel happy in a place you love to live! Lots of love from Australia!
Its so amazing to see all the kids give completely honest answers, They are absolutely so so beautiful and precious :) Aurora, is absolutely so adorable, Mila is absolutely so sweet, and I can tell she keeps you all laughing and in good spirits, Isla, You my dear , are a beautiful girl, And your future is bright :) Esme, the world is yours sweetie, Never stop reaching for the stars, Isabelle, You are a bright young lady, You have definitely grown up to be a very amazing person. Never ever stop being you :)
Absolutely loved this vlog particularly with Isla and Jace . Such a beautiful family ❤
Jace has captured my heart. He has got to be the sweetest little boy ever. The way he interacts with Mila and Aurora is amazing. He is never rough with either of them and seems to always want to help them (anyone really) if he can. He is such a quiet child that allows everyone else to be in the spotlight while he remains blissfully happy to blend into the background. Soon after Jace was born, I lost my only child. I was mindnumbingly devastated and wanted little or nothing to do with anyone. I have followed you for quite a few years but one morning, your vlog was about Jace, and that vlog literally pulled me from the depths of hell. I look for him each and every day because he brings peace to my heart. Much love from across the pond. XOXOXO Ellen Beautiful, sweet Isla, there are so many people in the world who are so unhappy with their lives. Some of them unfortunately choose to talk about others in a negative way to make themselves feel better. YOU ISLA, are a breath of fresh air. You are always yourself and you seem to be a happy, intelligent girl. Forget those people, just continue to be YOU!!
Isla you are amazing. I remember being just like you when I was 12. I wish my 12 year old daughter was more like you but since going to secondary school she completely changed through fear of being bullied if she didn't fit in. Keep being you 💖
Isla is a very sweet and well adjusted 12 year-old. I was very similar in that I played with Barbies at that age. My daughter also was similar. We both grew up to be well-adjusted adults and Isla will too. She’s so sweet. I’m glad you speak out about those who think there is something wrong with Isla, she’s perfectly Isla. As for Esme, my son really didn’t like school but he loves to learn and has found lots of ways to learn that suit him and I believe Esme will also find alternative ways to learn. All of your kids are amazing!
Mila is such a character. Her saying hmmm before all her answers 🥹
I live in America and I wouldn’t send my own child to high school here! Now my two kids went to high school here but this was in the 90s but I wouldn’t send them now not with what goes on there!
Isla is such an amazing, sweet girl! She has grown up so much and is so smart! Stay the way you are Isla, you're perfect the way you are!
i know you said isla doesn’t have OCD but i am diagnosed with it and the night time routine really hit me 😂 i cannot sleep / relax until everyone says night love you see you in the morning how weird i’ve never seen someone else have this!! x
I love this video I would love a part 2, loved seeing them all grown up xxx
Isabelle was constantly interrupted.
Isla did so amazing in this you should be proud of her Sarah ❤❤
Oh sarah, i cant get Isla out of my head, she is beautiful inside and out and those trolls are vile x
Vile is a parent putting their child through this, it’s terribly sad.
Peter its not the parents its wicked trolls
@@angelajenner4301 why would any parent ask strangers to ask questions about their kids and then when they get unpleasant ones tell the kid? It’s insane.
I think it’s wonderful to hear from the children directly. A great blog Sarah ❤😊 xx
I agree with everything you said Sarah, about Isabell. She seems so caring, and ready to help with all kids. She is so beautiful.
Why do I feel Esme prepped Mila for her Q&A 😂😂 she is just hilarious and becoming more like Esme every day. Definitely a born entertainer xxx
Oh yes, definitely do a part two!
Esme sweetie, the movie doesn't show what American high school really is here, Imean when I was in high school a hundred years ago was so different than now, I graduated in 1982 I loved my senior yearwas absolutely amazing but sweet darling things have changed here, I wish fir you the best experiences life can bring, you are simply beautiful and deserve the very best. You keep moving forward and just live life!
Isla, you are just the way a 12 year old should be. You always make me smile. Don't change who you are for anyone, just be you beautiful girl x
I think a part two would be amazing!!! Love ur vids! ❤
Questions about how it feels to e x p l o i t your c h i l d r e n
Hey Sarah, I was just watching the birthday day out video for Esmé’s bday. I was commenting on the baby and even think of Mila with the heat. I looked up some ideas on how to monitor a baby’s body temp and they sell little stickers that you can get to put on to indicate a fever but would also indicate id she’s just way overheated and unable to cool her body down. And I was thinking it might be useful to keep a forehead scan thermometer which would avoid waking any baby up but allow you to keep an eye on their body temp so they don’t get so hot they are harmed. Also thought two things might help for diaper bag as well as a portable thermometer scanner. One is just a simple small spray bottle with water in it so you can mist her and help her have more evaporative cooling, and maybe for an urgent situation keep one of those first aid ice packs or a couple that if the smaller three got too hot you could have a fast cooling option. Might even be useful for you there when it’s so hot and sometimes plans change or lines and traffic and all mean you are in the heat longer than planned. You might want to keep a method to cool down in case a car broke down for everyone in the car like some water, dry electrolyte powder sticks in your diaper bag or first aid kit, ice packs and a small pop up umbrella in case you got emergency stuck somewhere. I know it’s a city so there are many available services but sometimes weird things happen and you find yourself stranded . Def get a cheap temp scanner for Aura and Mila and keep some water in the car when you go out even if you don’t need it and some form of shade. The hot there seems kinda scary for a baby. I know you do your best. Just wanted to offer some ideas to keep Aura sage. ❤
I laughed and laughed at Mila's cheese jokes! She has some seriously good comic timing! She is funny!!
Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog with all your babies. ❤❤❤
