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.

Why did I cry at the interview with Isla? She’s such a beautiful girl. Never change Isla sweetheart 💕💕

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. :)

I love how Mila says “hmmmm”. And rolls her eyes whenever you ask her a question!

Good on isla for not being a sheep, shes bloody cracking, that girl def knows what she wants.

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.

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.

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

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?

Sarah let Isabelle speak for herself your always interupting her.

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 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 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.

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😊

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.

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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤

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 ❤

As someone born/raised in the US, high school here is nothing like the movies. That’s an extremely romanticized version of reality😭

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

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.

Take a shot every time mila says hhmmmmm 🤣😍 so cute!🤣

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. 💜💜💜

Isla, enjoy your childhood. Dont rush growing up. You are a beautiful, smart girl.

Sarah please let your children speak u always talk over them

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 🥰

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 ❤😊❤

Let Isabelle answer! You talk over her so much.

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

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.

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 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❤️

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

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…💛

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. 😊

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

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.

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.❤❤❤❤❤❤

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! 💜

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 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.

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 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❤️

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!!???

I love this video I would love a part 2, loved seeing them all grown up xxx

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 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! 🦸🏻‍♂️

Good grief, I feel for Isla, how can people be so cruel, Isla you are amazing, be yourself and never change xxxx

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.

I love all your children ! They’re amazing in their own way !

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 🫶🏻🫶🏻

Sarah ur family so heart warming I’ve enjoyed this vid so much

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!

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

Sarah I really enjoyed this and thanks for sharing!🫶🏾🫶🏾

Oh yes, definitely do a part two!

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.🥰

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 😊❤

I loved this video so much, please do a part two! ❤

Thoroughly enjoyed this vlog with all your babies. ❤❤❤

I've just watched from start to finish it was brilliant, all your kids are beautiful, it was great fun xx

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 ❤

Loved it can’t wait for part 2

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 ❤❤

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

Mila is such a character. Her saying hmmm before all her answers 🥹

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 loved this ❤ and would love part 2! I had jobs to do that I'd been putting off , so I just took my ipad around with me lol

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 🥺😍

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 ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

Isla looks so gorgeous in those colours and with that hairstyle!!

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 😂

I can’t stop laughing about mila she’s so funny 😂😂

How amazing are you, letting your children answer the questions, think that great. Xx

Loved this video it’s so good letting the kids answer the questions xx

What did sarah mean when she said Isla has never had Autism ?

I loved hearing about the thing Esme does at bedtime to wind Isla up 😂. My 12 year old does the exact same thing its just me & her at home but she likes to do the same thing at night it's a ritual .Night mum love you see you in the morning then I say it back and if I say something after it we've ti start it again 😂😂😂😂

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

Isla has empathy she’s an old soul you do you darling

I think it’s wonderful to hear from the children directly. A great blog Sarah ❤😊 xx

My 21 and 18 year old still live at home x

I laughed and laughed at Mila's cheese jokes! She has some seriously good comic timing! She is funny!!

Milas situation with the cheese made me laugh so much🤣🤣

Oh sarah, i cant get Isla out of my head, she is beautiful inside and out and those trolls are vile x

I think a part two would be amazing!!! Love ur vids! ❤

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!

Not saying isla is autistic but beig autistic is nothing to be ashamed about

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 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

Loved this Sarah, they are all so different and the love you all have for each other radiates through our screens xxxxx I just wish people would stop being so cruel about them. ❤

Omg isla reminds me so much of my daughter who is now 28 bloody fantastic parents you both are

I love how they all got the same "hmmm" sound for when they are thinking. 😂 . Love this vlog. You can see how Jace is so much more grown up. I think you should let the barber just trim his hair first so he gets used to it and then if he wants to go back to have it cut, he feel more confident being there for longer to have it cut short.

Absolutely loved this vlog particularly with Isla and Jace . Such a beautiful family ❤

Fantastic vlog 💖 Really enjoyed your Question and answers 😀 Never change yourselves how you are as you are all so lovely and genuine and real 🥰

I agree with everything you said Sarah, about Isabell. She seems so caring, and ready to help with all kids. She is so beautiful.

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

IM OBSESSED WITH ESME’S NEW LOOK!! She’s so pretty

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!

Absolutely loved this ❤ they are all such a credit to you Sarah. Xxx
