Sue Radford has been slammed by trolls for festive “overkill” after she shared a video flaunting the huge amount of presents her children had to open.
Sue and husband Noel have 22 children together, so there will always be a high number of gifts to be given on the big day. But the family has come under fire after sharing a video on YouTube of their Christmas morning after waking up at 7.07am.
While that could be argued is a reasonable time for children to enter the fray of opening gifts, he did admit that some of them came to their bedroom at 5am, the Mirror reports.
In the video the children looked gobsmacked at the room of presents and were soon ripping off the wrapping paper – with Radford’s youngest daughter Heidie looking delighted at receiving a new bike. Casper, 12, also unwrapped his first iPhone and was clearly ecstatic at the gift.
Sue had previously revealed that there were around 300 presents for the children between them. The Christmas video didn’t sit well with everyone as social media users took to the comment section.
One person was raging at what they watched, hitting out in the comment section: “Total overkill on the presents but at least it wasn’t Shein tat.” Another added: “It’s sickening the amount of presents this year… ridiculous parenting.”
A third slammed the Radfords for flaunting the amount of gifts, writing: “This is rubbing peoples noses in what they can’t buy for their own children.” Not everyone was feeling the same way as some pointed out that with the size of their family, the Radfords were always going to be swamped with presents and that each child had a ‘reasonable’ amount.
One person pointed this out, arguing: “Each kid got a perfectly normal sized pile of presents each not loads. Even if they were to get loads and loads so what? You aren’t paying for it? The parents are and they earn their money so they can spend it on whatever they like!”
Another was sympathetic to the Radfords and took the trolls to task, stating: “It never ceases to amaze me that people feel that they have a right to say what they should do or spend on their children!”
