What’s life like when you have enough children to field your own football team? How do mums of large families keep on top of it all and how do they cope when the kids grow up and start moving on? Does the desire for having a large family feed down into the younger generations?
When two kids are more than enough to get most of us worrying about money and life, how do these big families cope?
This series will answer some of the unanswered questions from the first series, revealing the forensic detail of how these enormous families function on a day-to-day basis.
Real Families brings you stories of modern day family life from around the world through the eyes of children, parents, and parenting experts.

I hate it when people say babysitting when referencing their own kids... you're not babysitting, you're being a parent.
Exactly.
No your babysitting
@@octaviae22 Babysitting is what you do with someone else's kids, not your own.
exactly ... like they were forced to have that many children
@@octaviae22 babysitting means: the care of a child or children while the parents are out.
Being a babysitter means that you have someone else's life in your hands and that in itself is a tremendous responsibility. Having to look after one or more children can be tiring, frustrating and sometimes difficult to cope with - even for experienced adults.
I’m one of twelve children-#7 and a twin. I remember feeling enormous guilt that the extremely rare moments of personal attention that I’d receive from a parent meant that my other siblings were going to be acutely and inversely deprived of that tiny personalized dose of parental love.
I was washing cloth diapers in a bucket at the age of 4. My eldest siblings weren’t allowed to eat until after they fed all of the youngest ones. The eldest ones never wanted children because they were forced all of their lives to raise younger siblings.
You don’t get hugged enough by your parent when there’s so many. Plus the stress of it all causes parents to be crying, screaming or hitting their kids ten times more behind closed doors.
I will say that it’s probably easier for children in big families to assimilate out in society and they’re frequently less selfish than a single child might be.
One brother owned and ran a theater company. Another brother was a CEO of 500 employees. Another owned his own tile company. It teaches you incredible initiative skills and how to deal with large numbers out in society. But I was incredibly starved for alone time. I cherish being alone to this day. I also have a terror of situations that are not staffed well enough. Parents should never force their children to be the primary caregivers of the younger siblings.
Just because your parents failed, doesn't mean all families fail.
@@RS-ot5nh 1 in 5 childrens parents fail across all economic and ethnic and religious backgrounds
I’m sorry you went through this! I always ask my self, how do they give undevided attention to everyone, I have 3 and can never imagen having more, it’s crazy enough with 3 and spending time with each so they don’t feel unlove!!
I don't have strong opinions to interject but I did want to tell you that I'm sorry you didn't get enough hugs and were forced into parentification. It sounds like you have a great perspective these days, thank you for sharing what you've learned from your personal struggle with others. I'm not sure why the other answers you received were so defensive when you were just trying to share your own experience. Just know that you deserve love and always did and I have no doubt that as an adult you've made young people in your life feel seen and heard. I hear you and I'm huggin you 🤗
It bothers me when anybody says the dad is babysitting the children. They are his too. It's called parenting.
Amanda Witherspoon I also have said this to my husband and family. How can you babysit your own kids??
some parents use babysitting for another word in looking after.
"Tony takes reproduction very seriously" I can't breathe 😂
Did they really say he breeds pigeons?! I don't think pigeons need breeding
I've seen big families be able to control their children who were super sweet. Don't blame big families, blame the parents.
Lilly Newsom agreed i know 3big families 2 have lovely well behaved kids and 1 has a gang of brats coz they scream at them abuse them and just dont care they literally had their kids for cash (and spent absolutely bare min on the kids) and the kids were dragged up. I was friends with the second eldest and he was so clinically depressed at 14 he had to move out coz they expected him to ditch school to clean and look after the other kids.
Ppl around my neighborhood have at least 10 kids i think they r nuts they will let the lil girl who is like 8 or 9 watch all the kids under her and she is walkin around with 5 or 6 at a time and a baby that os 3 or 4 months old that is a prevs easiest target what is that lil girl gonna do nothing that's a shame when u are leaving ur 10 year old to babysit u have problems and that kid doenst have a child hood
@@chrisgima9544 yea i feel you on that i got 5 kids and im having twins now but my oldest daughter love to help out i tell her that i got it but she wants to help and i do let her have her childhood like playing with her friends.
The first time my kid spits on me would be the LAST.
Amanda Barnett it was vile wasn’t it! My jaw dropped! 🤦🏻♀️
I was so shocked when that happened
You know it!,their kids are thriving for needed attention.
They need more hands on personal attention.
You better know it
Yvette Grant uhh nah a lot of us hate the attention
Whenever I watch these episodes, I just think of playing the sims 4 and creating a family with 6 or 7 kids.
Hannah Sharpe haha relatable
100 baby challenge is the true challenge, lol. But at least then you get to kick out the older kids out.
Omg I just grabbed my laptop to do that!
I feel the same 😂
SAME, I'M OBSESSED WITH MAKING BABIES ON SIMS. I CAN'T STOP MYSELF.
Can we just talk about the whole buying new socks every day? How wasteful is that? Eating out and ordering in all the time, boggles my mind, surely that's more expensive than cooking from scratch.
well, atleast they're not on crack. and theyre talking care of their babies
They must have too much money.
For myself, hubby and our 4 children, it's about £35 for a takeaway so I can't imagine how much it is for them!
Imagine knowing you were given up for adoption as a child then finding out your mother has 12 kids after you, I'd be devastated and feel so unwanted
It wasn’t the mother’s choice, she was too young and the decision was made for her
hey_its_hannah_xox So? She gave away a person with feelings. It doesn't matter if it was her decision.
Jennie Wright same
Jennie Wright she was the true parent because she knew that she couldn't give the baby the life they deserved, the child was raised by a family that loved them, you shouldn't judge a mother that's made the hardest decision you could ever imagine, and she's still devastated just like when she was forced to give up her child xx
MsJenn1985 - Agreed. People are so quick to judge. Would love to take a peek into their lives just so I could point out all their imperfections.
The little boy spitting on his dad is disgusting, their kids are totally out of control and they don’t even try and discipline them.
Kicking, spitting, biting! Enos has serious issues!
Its the Mormon bs.
kittykat wolf bruh that’s me
@@jpisme969 ???
No way, he would have made it through that spitting, biting and kicking madness. NO WAY. Without some discipline. That talking was bs.
I'm sure it's his normal way though. Horrifying to watch that!
Throws out the socks every day.... with 11 kids that is a huge hit to the environment!
I’m sure any charity would take them even dirty!
She's just lazy. Shows throughout the show on takeaways,meals out & saying she can't be bothered doing the washing + matching the socks up.
ktsls82 I don’t agree with disposable clothes
That's lazy and wasteful.
I have 10 siblings ,but i am so thankful,that my moms,was do her best and...she decipline us as a good citizen...we grow up,as a responsible and respectful person...Thanks you to my amazing Mothers.
Imagine the money they would save if she washed socks and only ate out 1 night a week?!
Wouldn't need benefits
@@cwtchybear01Child benefits are given to all parents raising children in the UK. They aren’t referring to welfare.
Of the four big families featured, I love the Radfords the most as the children are well behaved and the father is running a pie business well. They very very seldom eat out unless for very special occasions which is rare. They have managed to go for holidays. The only worry I have for these big families is when some thing happen to the head of the family (the father).
That kid is Fuqed up
Me and my cat Gerard are watching this.
My children have NEVER spit on me! My children dont disrespect me or any other adult. They have so many kids they have no time to teach proper manners.
jenn jeffs right I honestly think I am a greatly disciplined I would never do that
jenn jeffs absolutely right.....these people are lacking in their selves...all about them.
it's really easy to judge others....you don't know if the child was up late, has a medical need, or behavioural need for that matter...
Whatever the reason late nights ect. There is no excuse for spitting, it is dicusting.
@@pab6796 stop making excuses. Spitting is spitting and it's flat out disgusting and disrespectful. That kid needs a smack.
I don't want to judge but new socks every day and eating out and take away. There never seems to be anything healthy on the menu?
As you can see, that's why a lot of the fam is quite chubby
Her laziness shocks me a cottage pie can be knocked up for 5-6quid for that many people but coz it involves washing up and effort shes not interested. I had 3 under 5 at 1 stage and i loved making big healthy meals and getting a bargin was a highlight of my week lol! And the not washing clothes just buying new omg why?? What an absolute waste! If u dont wanna do washing constantly dont have so mamy kids!
Kathy Forgues right and they get benefits too so where is that food going??? How can they afford to eat out that much with so many children?? I have 3 and we can hardly afford 1 time a week in the US. My mind is blown away.
I thought that :)
You know it's weird you think we're all over weight were really healthy we don't eat take away my dad makes homemade meals
"I think your an attention seeker" why would you say that to your child. she has to put up with multipule siblings and she probally never got any attention payed to her individually. Parenting 101
Azami Nakiri the mother is such a narcissist.
alarm bells.. what she said is the exact opposite of what parenting is
They just once love , selfish parents!
Instant and swift smack of pain for the kid that kept spitting at the father. There are only two boys in this family and they are really spoilt!
How horribly wasteful to throw out all those socks. I find that rather disturbing.
Bad Hare Day yea she could at least donate them idiot
Samoyne Daniels Or wash and re-wear them? Lol
Its laziness end of.
She maybe does donate them
New socks every day, my god lady. I have girls and when they are little i buy plain socks, solid colors, when we take them off i pin them together and wash them we never lose socks, I use a whitening agent and they look new every time I wash them.
She just LAZY.
Ooo pinning them together sounds like a good idea, thanks!
I agree! Pinning is such a good idea. I need to do that
brilliant! I'm doing this!
WelcomeToTheWolfPackk congratulations!
Socks will always dissapear but if u fold together or pin as u said they go walk abouts less often and as they come out the drier i fold together before it goes away. 5th baby on the way and like u keep them plain easy to sort out and keep on top of ur washing u wouldnt have to replace all the time.
When that girl said I hope she has one more cause I just love babies I thought well she’s gonna be like her mom when she gets older
lovelovelove I literally thought the exact same thing
lovelovelove and
Katie Vogel nothing it was just a comment, you don’t have to get in your feels
lovelovelove Thought the exact same thing lol
OMG! Enos spat in his dads face 3times and he did nothing!If i ever did that when i was a child i would have see the back off a wooden spoon!
Same
Same.
Probably can't show them getting spanked on TV
Well this definitely cured my baby fever.
@Nenethegreat W 👁👄👁
@Nenethegreat W Think again....
What does baby fever mean? Baby fever is the name for the longing that some people experience relating to the desire of having a child (or grandchild) of their own.
I work in child care and 90% of the time its the children from families like this that come in seeking attention because they aren't getting it at home. Just because you can afford/want to have a massive number of kids, doesn't mean you should. The children often suffer, especially the older ones who tend to end up with too much responsibility for kids that aren't theirs.
I was an only child and I had zero attention growing up. Sat in my room reading constantly. I wish I had at least some siblings. Believe me, parents can be neglectful of 1 or 2 or 10. It is the PARENTS, not the NUMBER of kids they birth.
Yes absolutely, you can see it in the behaviour. Some of them are just screaming out for attention. My husband and I wanted more kids but we also wanted to give our boys the love and attention they need which is way more important.
Even if your a single child or have 1-3 siblings you can also attention seek I really think it's up to parents weather or not they want kids or more kids it's not our choice to make for them.
It's not the number of kids you have it's the parents.
Yes exactly , there is no way these kids all get enough attention . And that is on purpose . The parents don’t want kids they want babies . That’s why they keep having them . Once the kids are older they aren’t so interested in them. I feel so bad for these kids because they didn’t ask for this torture
New socks everyday to avoid washing socks?😳 Go out for dinner or order in almost everyday to avoid cooking?😳 What a lazy woman!! Her children will grow up and be lazy too! I feel sorry for them!
If you can't control your kids just stop having children! There is no discipline!
Some people don't believe in discipline.
😒
It’s three hours at church. The service part is almost entirely grown ups giving speeches. Not for little ones to be still for. Leave em be.
They don’t even pick church time. You assume being aggressive will stop aggression. The man is a nurse. I think he can calmly handle when someone is having an issue.
kris Sharp the service was an hour and twenty minutes. Not 3 and still doesn’t give the OK to spit on your Dad
They're treating their kids like numbers, they won't know their kids if they just treat them like numbers
Im reading lots of comments about how its selfish of moms to expect older kids to help with younger ones, and while I understand the thought process behind this I only have 2 younger siblings and was expected to care for them like a second mom. I don't think this is a concept exclusive to big families only.
Sky Silver agreed. Also, everyone in a family should be helping the family run well. Be that chores or sometimes sitting with a toddler so mom can change a diaper. I do think if older kids are “babysitting” they should be paid like any other babysitter though.
It’s not the older kids responsibility to look after the younger ones since when did they sign up for it😂
IKR it’s pathetic
As a mother of 4 this is annoys me, you don't have children to raise your other children. If you can't do it between yourself and partner then don't have so many!
I always wanted to have a large family like this. I have lost my last four. I would give anything to have another baby.
So that was filmed in 2013 and I go to the church the Hanns go to. It’s 2019 right now and they had 2 more and now there’s 14 kids. It’s so cool to see people you know on tv. Aubrey June also goes to the church and now she’s going blind and lives in a care home and we don’t think she has much longer left to live xx
Woah
Whos Aubrey june
Hi amber it’s Enos
When your kids start having kids its time for you to STOP having kids
i was pregnant same time as my daughter ..it was a surprise as i wasnt trying but my daughter was thrilled our babies both girls were born 9 weeks apart ,hers first ,and our girls are so close ,its lovely ..our girls are teenagers now and always look out for each other
No don't tell my parents what to do
My BFF was a teen Mom, as was her Mom and her daughter. My BFF and her daughter had babies 3 days apart. My BFF was in her early 30s so there's nothing wrong with it. Yes, she has grandkids older than her 3 youngest but life happens and they're all happy, healthy and loving to one another.
Breshawn Blu agree take care of your grandkids stop having babies so you can have the time to care for the grand
@@K8_PM i don't know, i think thats kind of sad...keeping the cycle of teen mums going. not saying your friend or her daughter are bad parents at all, but the majority of teens can't afford to finish school and provide for a baby on their own (without help from the government or parents if they can afford to).
that kid spitting at his dad!
Kenzi H "Come to the bathroom with me son"
*Takes of belt*
She doesn't even know how long her daughter has been engaged! That should tell u that u shouldn't be having anymore kids
MissFabulous she just wants to be RIGHT.
There is no way I would let my TWO YEAR OLD child wake me up through all hours of the night to breast feed. She is a child not a baby. I understand breast feeding but waking up all hours of the night like she’s a new born. Now that’s ridiculous.
If her mother doesn’t start saying no and sticking with it Posey is going to be a nightmare to the world
"I'll be upset if the doctor says I'm going through the menopause and I can't get pregnant now." She should be thankful for the ones she's already got, some of us would be so thankful to have been blessed with one child - spare a thought for infertile couples!
Claire Ricaud If you are speaking from a personal standpoint, I’m sorry that you were not blessed Claire.
It doesn’t mean to say that you aren’t an “Earth Mother” and loved by the many people who come into contact with you. So maybe Blessed in an alternative way. ❣️
My husband and I had three children. I wish that we had gone ahead and had the five we originally wanted. But money was tight and social conscience a big concern. They are all grown up now!
For religious people to have nine, ten, twelve plus children seems very selfish given that each child will lack a good level of undivided parental attention and, of course there is the real issue of population explosion.
Often, children are home schooled and interact solely with family members. Not such a great preparation for life in the real world.
Posey went to sleep without breastfeeding easily. That screaming before dad picked her up was just the whining of a tired toddler. If it's that easy every night she can be weaned without much stress.
veer49 What I was thinking.
Spitting at your dad, by 5 years old he should know that is definitely unacceptable. DISGUSTING
That one lady was like 'omg how do they drink so much milk!' yet she buys new socks every day?!?
I don't mean this as hate but what bothers me is that number one, the older kids have to be "mommy" too and pick up the work and watch the kids...wrong. If you can not care for your children yourself, then you should not have anymore. The other is that the kids already here are out of control. Horrible behavior. It is sad to me. I was a teacher and I can't imagine these kids in school. The parents would find it much easier if they had some sort of discipline plan in place and the kids behaved better. And for the daughter wanting to have a big family and the boyfriend saying no no no...you have to be on the same page BEFORE you do that and if one is against...it will cause problems
Seriously praying for these families.
in these families, the parents take care of the children not the older kids. The dagger family does so however
simply danLrene i
simply danLrene in the UK the parents do all the care taking the "buddy role" is unheard of, parents generally do everything xx
You should find this video on youtube of a disabled couple who are blind but wont stop having kids, its the most disgusting thing ive ever watched.. the oldest girl is 13 and looking after her younger siblings because the parents cant even see!!
The mum smokes a pack a day whilst pregnant... it made me so angry
To all saying in the U.K., parents look after their own kids, no they don't, not always. I know of several families, including my own, who leave children who are still young themselves, alone to take care of babies and younger kids.
The only reason Tony wants another kid is because her last husband has more than he does.
Exactly. Mr. Macho has to have equal the number of HIS children.😝
Why do you have to be so jugemenle when you dont even knwe tony he love all the kids the same and thinks of them ashis owne so its nothing to do with that is it so dont be so rude
i cant imagine my son just spitting on my face on purpose without me snapping.....
@Nenethegreat W Not your place or choice to make for other people it's Charlotte's choice weather or not she wants more kids not up to you.
Omg 😱😱 that kid spit on his FATHER 😱🙏🙏 LAWDY nooo noooo nooo i can't even deal with it !! ✋ stop having kids you obviously can't train them!
Jayne Eyre like I commented on somebody else’s comment I hope he doesn’t expect respect cause he’s not gonna her any
There not animals they can't be trained to be good people I think there trying there best I know for a fact that you sure as heck couldn't do better
Redhy Adiba you don't know me so there for you have zero facts about me 👋 bye ✌
You shouldn’t have any children if you call teaching them right from wrong training, they’re not bloody animals
Rienna Evans i have 3 sir an im a very great mother. Blessings... Bye
can’t believe she called her 15 year old an attention seeker just cos she didn’t think it was wise for her mum to have another kid
Doesn't make them attention seekers i think parents should give older kids attention just as much as the younger one or they feel lefted out.
No way is that lady buying socks for all her children to wear new socks everyday, no way
Samoyne Daniels She said just the girls.
Agreed how is that possible?
Olive M eeeeek how awful is that!! 😢 some people on benefits dont eat but she gets enough money to buy new socks daily?
I am PINKIE Daniels right had she never heard of bleach?!
Amands Rockett She's so lazy to even wash them. Do you think she's actually gunna go through the effort of bleaching them lol.
As the oldest of 6, I can telly you now this is NOT fun for the older kids. There's 19 years between me and the youngest, and from being 13 I've had to act as a parent. It's not fair on the oldest kids, when the parents decide to 'get their social lives back' and the oldest are left to look after them. Though I am in a better situation, because my little siblings are actually well behaved! These kids kick and scream and spit, it's awful. My parents managed to teach all of us, plus cousins they looked after, to be well behaved and kind, and knew to stop at 6, so they could properly care for their kids. Just think about the long term effects on you and your kids!
I say there is a time and place for spitting eg brushing your teeth
there is a time and place for kicking eg swimming, kick boxing, MMA, soccer etc
There is a time and place for hitting eg Tennis, Golf, cricket etc
There is a time and pace to do this stuff but doing it to siblings and parents is a big no no in my book.
I feel bad for the Mormon families oldest kind, i’m the eldest sibling of two brothers that are over 10 years younger than me and they make the same amount of noise as that household, I couldn’t imagine that many people in a house
Rienna Evans I say start throwing the dictionary. I was an evil older sister. Hate crying.
And not be mean or to shame them but the girls are not at a healthy weight.
Lillith Sternin one not all the girls are like that, two the amount of stress they go through I’m not surprised and three why does that even affect you
Rienna Evans We are all voicing our opinions. I'm not affected any more than you are. Mormon dad seems so so loving towards his wife. But the one girl ( or several of them) are not at a healthy weight and the little ones are badly behaved. And you are right probably all because of stress. My opinion shld not affect you.
Mate, i think you've replenished the earth.
It's OK and nothing wrong with having a big family if you can afford it and if you can handle it and also if you can give each kid a bit of attention each week and a good quality of life. Nobody can judge if all is well.
Thank you and I agree alot of people are judge for a having a big family when it's not their choice but the parents choice to make.
Wow, Aunti June looks great!!!
Alice Powell-Hobson I’d love to have an auntie June!
Surely it's not tight to have a woman if her age crawling on the floor cleaning when they have all those kids to help with the housework. If they worked together at the weekend and school holidays with just 3 or 4 of the oldest kids then they'd get the entire house done in half a day. But then this doesn't seem like a particularly close family.
Wow, those kids have got such a healthy well balanced diet 🙄
I love these large families. I always wanted to have a bunch of children. I lost four and gave up. I would love to have a baby. I keep praying for a miracle.
I hope you get your miracle one day x
9 pm and those babies are awake omg there’s no control in this house
I would forget their names. also, it would probally be cheaper to make a nice healthy dinner and CLEAN THE SOCKS, not fatten them up with pizza.
The dirty dishes, floor, and gross behavior may say you've got enough. New socks daily and so much takeout??? Her husband is working himself silly for nothing. Buy food and clean the damn socks. Trashy.
faythmomto5 at least most big families work and not claim benefits, I bet you don't work,so leave then alone
lucy knight but she said she did claim benefits
She doesn't claim benefits, they're given benefits by the government. Everyone who has children gets that benefit, working or not working.
lovelovelove everyone who has a child in the UK and earns under £48k they receive child benefit it was up till last year for every single child now you only get it for two children, which is as it should be, and they are making everyone reapply so big families are loosing a large income, because it's £20 for the first child and £13 there after per week so it's a lot of money, further into the show and the woman that takes out has way to much junk food, £500 a month is extensive, with that many they could buy bulk and feed them for £500/£700 a month, like how little milk she goes thru as a family of 4 we go thru 8-12pts a day, xx
Buy black socks, and pre prep meals.
Who can do his homework when there are 15 siblings running around
my parents desperately wants another child. we're only 2 girls and both 20 years old.they are both capable financially and physically,but life doesnt want to grant that :) I really love to have a baby brother in our house.
It’s not enough just to keep your kids fed and clean, you need to able to nurture your child, to develop and grow and that requires being able to spend time with them. This becomes physically impossible when you have so many kids, there aren’t enough hours in the day.
Having said that though, if you pay for your own, do what you want. 🤷🏻♀️
tell me how you can afford to eat out THAT many times a week?!? me, hubby and 5yr old daughter can't afford to eat out like that, i wonder how they manage that. and new socks EVERY DAY, WHAT A WASTE.
They cant afford it. They just do it. Priorities my dear, priorities. When ur priorities aren't right u can afford anything. I can't afford a Tesla, but if I put that 1st and didn't put my other bills as priority-I could buy a Tesla
They really have too much money if they eat out four times a week, order food once a week, and buy socks every day ... Imagine what one could do with that kind of money with a normal amount of or no kids :D
"But you never know....". Um yes I definitely know I won't have more.
Ugh. The behavior problems, the child benefits, the waste, the parents. What a mess.
Child benefits are awarded to everyone in the UK who makes under a certain amount. It’s not welfare.
Your kids are spoilt, the two sons!! They gonna be a problem when they become older.. Kids know when you can't control them, they take the advantage... So in short. YOU SCREWED!
When the little girl screams and rolls on the floor... it kind of sounds like exorcism.
LOVE these large family shows. More please.
I'm an only child and this is just SHOCKING to me.... I mean, do whatever you want... it's just not something I can imagine being a reality. I'm in no way saying everyone should be an only child, or have a small family.... but I think some of these people legitimately have an addiction. It's not fair on so many other members of the family. Some of the kids look so unhappy.
As one of eight, it's pretty shocking to me too :) being in a big family can be a lot of fun tho :) there's always friends and helpers around. I think the bigger problem is that some of these women don't want kids, they just want babies, and the kids are sidelined and expected to be happy about it. I guess what I'm trying to say is that if you do it properly and considerately, big families are great, but when you don't......
You LIKE being an ONLY child?. I'm 48 now and I hated it. Esp vacations and being grounded. I sat in my room my whole life reading books wishing I was someone else and that I had a "real family." No computers then (1984) (Mom worked evenings....stepdad very abusive.) Wow You should thank your parents, they must be great.
I have 3 sisters but if I was an only child i would hate it in my opinion.
At first I thought Laura and her boyfriend were siblings. They have the same haircut.
I'm beginning to learn all these large family episodes ate the same. The moms want more, there's a teen daughter, the go on holiday, and they are on benefits
That Enos kid, tho, he would spit on me once.
BendyBus Song 😂😂😂
I love watching about big families, but the little boy in the Mormon family is not a nice boy. Spitting directly on his father and doing again after being told not to, he'd have been taken out and gotten a good punishment if he did that to me, really disrespectful.
And I'm not being men but I can't stand the way girls did their hair in the early 00's. The lump in the back and so much hairspray and it looks so stiff. Yuck
Brooke Benning I would have slept in silly
The dad was holding him down. When you are being held and can’t use your arms and legs the natural tendency is to your your mouth. They are at church for 3 hours before it’s time to go home. Listening to 90 minutes of adults giving speeches is boring at any age. Sitting still isn’t much action for the camera. There was another 2 hours and 57 minutes we didn’t see.
@@kristinesharp6286 Rubbish! He was not "Holding him down" and the sermon is not that long. And I can assure you as a child from a large family who attended church, it can certainly be done. This family is just shocking. No routines, no discipline, no consequences, no respect!
@@kittykatwolf8294 they used to have three hour church services. Collectively he heard an adult speak for 90 minutes. I’m not saying he has autism but the family Facebook has suggested they support the cause. I honestly don’t believe this show producer’s. They make many families featured seem outrageous. The dad was indeed restraining him. I’m not entirely sure they are all still members.
All that fast food is NOT good for their health! Cola and Pizzas, you are just plain lazy in the kitchen!
She had her first kid when she was 16
Harry Potter Fan she's got pink hair now I know her!!! She's Amanda Woodward now she's married
4:20 omg i love that this family loves them some sweet pigeon.. These animals are literally the sweetest animals... That's awesome!!
This is crazy-God bless both families.
I have 2, that’s enough, time to meet the individual needs of every one! You can’t possibly offer that to 16 children that’s just chaos and selfish of the parents to continue reproducing in an already overcrowded planet.
I looove the mormon family!! they are so kind and I feel so much love and respect between the parents, It's beautiful! I hope the best for them!
lea vaudevire Their 5 year old was a brat. No need to kick and spit. He can sit in church for an hour.
but 5 year olds are almost always brats seriously, I'm Mormon like them, and my five year old cousin is 5 and he is edging on being a brat because he's the only child as of now and gets spoiled by his father who doesn't even live with him, sorry i just rambled anyway what i was saying most 5 year olds are brats. sorry for rambling 😳.
Death's Daughter I have worked with kindergartners (5-6 years of age.) You never see this kind of behavior! He can control himself. If he was in school and acted like this, he would be in trouble.
Yeah shame they cant disapline their kids
I kind of hope the mormon mother reconnect with her first child, so she can heal inside.
She did reconnect
13:45 that dog looks like it's being starved......
Sam H that's what I thought too
It looks like a lurcher puppy so naturally skinny. Fingers crossed he's not planning on breeding it tho. Far to many lurcher puppies in rescues
They can “afford” them but are on benefits. 🤮
He’s working though so it’s probably just the same benefit that everyone who has kids gets
Anyone who is a parent working or not has child benefits alot of us don't ask for it but have to have it.
all for having a big family but maybe control the children you have before having another one just to of load it to your oldest daughter. and "when you gonna stop breastfeeding, your not a baby" your the mum, its your flippin decision
That kid that spit on his dad would be taken into that bathroom and he would come out a new boy
Mika Contreras --for real 😂😂
Into the bathroom at my house
“You spit on me and I’ll knock your teeth out”
I'm calling cps on you.
@@667neighborofdabeast plz tell me you're joking
1:52 the dad looks bothered
you know the one is very smart. Posie knows, she gets mommy all to herself if she keeps breastfeeding. smart kid. she's got it worked out, let the kids have mommy, but i get her all to myself feeding all night
Nope she’s not that smart she’s more needy also posy* not posie
They had the 1year olds birthday at a pub? Really?
These families CANNOT afford so many children. There are parents with one or two children who are struggling to make ends meet, while their taxes go to families like these. It is incredibly selfish.
really lovely how Lee was able to turn his life around after such a horrible childhood
I wonder if they get a frequent customer discount at the pub. I mean... my mum gets a discount to a place just for going there every week (been doing that a while).
Things must be so different in other countries, I'm not even sure I can financially take care of my 1, oh lord.
The older girls are so like me because m the oldest and my mum has 8 children she keeps on saying sides not going to have any next thing is she's pregnant omg Can so relate to the older girls xox
And u know what's funny is when mum has baby's it goes in a pattern girl girl boy boy girl girl boy boy?!!! How on earth does that happen????!!!!!!!!!
She favours posey and her eldest child way TOO much!
*posy
I was amazed she didn't take her oldest with her to stay at the B&B. Plus we didnt get to see a mother daughter conversation with them where they're asking each ithervwhst they think us going on at home without mum being there like you would normally in these documentaries which suggests they aren't normally that close.
Posy is just a baby and baby require more attention then older kids yes they should have equal amounts of attention but babies do require more of the parents attention.
That father who allowed his kid to spit on him several times has zero self respect. Awful.
if i ever spit on my parents or any family member my grandma would pull off her chancla and i wouldnt be able to walk for a w e e k
The moment they revealed being Mormons I no longer had shock or surprise. 😒
I come from a family of 5 kids and once while my mother was out with us all, a lady came up to my mother and asked if we are all hers. She said yes and the lady just smiled, nodded and patted my mum on the shoulder and said “ah good catholic family” and left.
We are not religious at all
Favorite venue: the pub across their house.... lol. How sweet.
I’ll be happy to see benefits stopped. Stop child benefit, housing benefit, the lot....they get more than child benefit. Thank goodness for the benefit cap. They live in squalor...disgusting. She doesn’t look after her 11 kids...she dumps them.
This one mother here is like the one in other episodes, the one with the 12 daughters and 1 son: Partying with her daughters, thinking they are her best friend ... and the way she behaved with the young boys at the club, that's disgusting. Those women must have some serious issues, apart from being addicted to babys.
The teenage daughters are more reasonable though. I liked it when they openly told their mother that she is delusional if she seriously thinks their friends are always coming over to admire a new baby. Or the disgusted look and comment of the one girl, when the mother said how cool it would be if she and her daughter were pregnant together. At least some one has some sense in this house.
No more children if you aren’t able to control and discipline them. Spitting and kicking, where’s your self-respect as a father?
It's not your choice to make for them and also there is a time a place for spitting eg teeth brushing and time and place for kicking eg MMA, Swimming, soccer etc not the parents/siblings.
Bringing your kids to the Pub is so foreign to me I wish all the families the very best
Tony has just one thing on his mind:
Making babies🌚
