Britain's Biggest Brood: Life in a Large Family | Real Stories Full-Length Parenting Documentary 

What if she or her husband became disabled? Total disaster.

It's really easy to keep your house spotless if you have 15 unpaid workers. Especially when you consider that it's probably only clean when they invite camera crews inside to sing their praises.

The house is picked up cuz mom expects the older daughters to pick up her slack while tending to the babies & toddlers. And attempts to get pregnant again. Or, as someone else said, there's a cleanup before the camera rolls.

+Tori Flot Yes I agree and they are so placid. No yelling and screaming at their children.

Like they are dead inside. hahaha

I agree they seem sweet, and their children too.

I love the love shown between them! So sweet and kind hearted towards each other. (And truly in love. )

Lindsay Robinson I

And such a clean house for the amount of traffic, very well done.

They're not great. A good parent knows when to stop since you physically cannot give enough attention to all your kids when you have 15. Also the poor kids will never get privacy or a quiet evening. I'm worried about their grades too, having to study in that place would be a nightmare

Melinda Bell I giggled the entire time lol.

Amanda Gautier probably the kind who plays world of Warcraft and watches Dota tournaments on Twitch. My husband is like that and his parents also have no description for him, except disappointment because he's not "normal" 🤗 or what they would like him to be.

Tee Carr i agree , they could say atleast one nice thing and even if it was just for the documentary. he is probably the black sheep of the family, atleast that is what it seems like

It sounded like they hardly even know them. Who describes their own kid as "a very nice boy"? That's so generic.

"he's his own person" = we forget which one he is

Yes. It´s not a man´s job to support his husband or wife. But it´s nice to have someone to love who loves you. Someone who supports you and you support them. It´s not wrong to want that. Shout out to my hubby

I wish that too. But is not that easy!

@@purplexninjamom Umm.. that is exactly what a man's job is. It's what makes the world go round.

Its been five years, have you found that man?

it's selfish to force humans beings to live. they didn't choose to live. and it's destroying the earth

@@Me-Want-SnuSnu what is wrong with you

@@chocolatemafia4303 sorry I don't have a perfect world mentality. It's selfish to continually bring kids in this world. We are close to 8 billion, suffering and pain is part of life, etc. And IDC what anyone says. A family with that many kids cannot raise them right. The older children raise them. They do not get 1 on 1 with their parents.

@@Me-Want-SnuSnu if we dont have kids, well die out

@@chocolatemafia4303 good

Thats what I thought 😄

liz sewell I though the exact same thing. I never iron. Never. Ever.

I think it's because they don't currently have a dryer. Line drying creates wrinkles - even in knits.

you know....i wud not bother as well

I just wouldn't worry about it. We all can wear crinkled clothes. I mean,I'm sure everyone knows they are from a huge family so who gives a bugger? Only exceptions would be dad's work clothes and the older high schoolers.....even then they'd have to do it themselves. She's only one person and they are the ones out to impress. Littler kids don't give a hoot! Cooking,washing,cleaning,driving,shoe polishing,shopping,managing etc. I would be delegating the hell out of that place. They will all benefit after all.

HPFangirl71 卌 so wait, you don't think people should be so judgy, but you and your husband works two jobs and you live in subsidized housing, but what the hell are you doing all day? Taking care of kids? Why do you have children if you can't even afford to house and keep a roof over your head? Even worse if you're childless and it's just two of you, then your ass should never be given subsidized housing. It's a real shame that people think they should be given anything simply because they exist. Thanks freeloaders, enjoy the luxury off my hardwork, while I am homeless and working 50 hours a week.

HPFangirl71you tell us😋😋😋😋

clearly, your judgement shows how blessed you've been all your life. People who live with less should still enjoy having children.

Be sure to tell the "Refugees" that. BBC seems to just be down on white people having children.

Engelse Wit The US is different. As you can see from the comments in this thread American conservatives demand that anyone with less money than they live in misery. Poor people are NOT EVER to have any thing not necessary for life.

Renate - Me either. I do two loads of laundry a day and I thought that was excessive. After seeing her do 9 to 11 loads a day and hang them out to dry, I'll never complain again. Lol

I agree with you, but we have to hope that everyone doesn't do this or the planet will be too small.

Mary O'Connnor British humour

that baby is his sisters baby. that's why he could her like that.

Mary O'Connnor madness having so many children.

Mary Reynolds I just started watching this video and im maybe 10 mins into it and I already LOVE THIS FAMILY!!! I wanted to stop and read some comments b4 I went any further.... They seem like a very loving couple and the children seem to be well mannered!!! I hated seeing such negative comments about them simply bc IF THEY ARENT LIVING OFF GOVERNMENT ASSISTANCE AND THEY CAN FINANCIALLY PROVIDE FOR ALL THE KIDS THEN IM ALL FOR COUPLES HAVING LARGE FAMILIES!!! I was a only child I wld of loved a bro or sis when i was little so when i got married I wanted at least 5 or 6 but it just wasnt possible for me and Im happy with the 2 that God blessed me with!!! Im hoping to adopt one day! Ty for posting a positive and beautiful comment!!!

why would you respect anyone that selfish and stupid? do you not understand that the world is grossly overpopulated to the point where the entire planet is practically on fire? are you people deaf, dumb, and blind as well as stupid? wtf?

Right! The Duggers got nothings on this family. They aren't all brain washed, nor making the children do their siblings raising or the house work. I actually like this family....

the world is overpopulated. it is selfish and stupid to have more than two kids.

I would love to see a follow-up documentary of this family.

ocmiss I was thinking the same thing and the electric bill too 😂

anastasiagirl1342 Me too, it is just sad that some ppl are so judgemental of them!

I do as well 💕. People judge what they can't relate to, don't understand, or subconsciously judge in others, what they don't like in themselves...then again some people are just judgemental. It's sad, but I believe we all judge to a certain extent; just my opinion. Hoping all is well.

Absolutely

i dont get it either. i had a job as a cleaning lady when i was a teenager, and the family even paid me to iron their pajamas... so unnecessary

I know your comment is old but someone mentioned that because she line dries the clothes, she probably irons them since they get way more wrinkled, but to be honest, I wouldn't iron the little kids clothes, maybe the older kids could iron their own, and just do the husband and her clothes but yeah, there's no way I'd spend that much time purely ironing, even in a year.

treasurz1 I only iron dress clothes (and other clothes) that are clearly wrinkled. However, they may iron a lot because she has to line dry. Using a dryer usually eliminates most wrinkles. Line drying does not.

treasurz1 I iron all my cloths, cuz I'm a perfectionist and hate wrinkles xD but honestly even I wouldn't spend that much time on ironing...I'd rather spend it on cleaning, I couldn't live in her house, it is so dirty and there is so so so much chaos and the toothbrushs *frightend look * (okay understandable if u have this many kids)...I spend at least 2 hours/day on cleaning every inch in my 40 qm apartment (I even vacum+clean under/behind the couch, my bed and capports every day...so yeah...I'm a little OCD and better shouldn't have (many) kids anyways ^^)....if I was her I would spend my whole day cleaning the house I guess xD

It says a lot about them as parents

@@naseerahvj 🤣

There's one in every family

Sorry about your flashbacks, J. Get well soon.

Drieyers are uncommon in most of the world, a very American thing.

That's lovely.

I disagree often this is the case, but not always. I think this woman loves having a full home, not nessarally newborns. She knows each child as an individual.

I agree. It's rare to see a large family that doesn't resort to parentification of their oldest kids. It's standard operating procedure in the large fundamentalist Christian families here in the States. But Sue and Ian seem truly dedicated to their kids, and quite loving.

Theresa Baker this is a nice family I have six children and she is doing a amazing job

Theresa Baker yes and we need more men who want to support a (big) family :)

You're one tough cookie

Sorry to hear what you've been through. That's a lot of loss ❤

Like that creepy family...the one that used to have a tv show...the Duggors or something like that. the one with 20 kids? Didn't they get banned from tv because of some incest shit that went down and the parents accepted it even though as you say they were over the top religious?

Kahlen Durin yup, that's them. They were weird.

Tatenda Madondo Weird and creepy as shit!

thank you for making all 330 million of us all alike.

Tatenda Madondo not true at all. That was just the Duggers and cults 💀🙄😂

miss chase Hart 180 pounds is like $230

miss chase Hart she said she spends 180 pounds PER WEEK (not month).

Pounds, not dollars. And in 2003, not 2017.

That wasn’t really fair to you. I’m so sorry.

Diana Garza we had 9 in our family and one bathroom. This family had more bath rooms. You cope.

They have one in the master bedroom. Did you miss that part? I am sure the children are allowed to use it.

Nun Ya I think they have one for the master so the parents can go in peace.

Are you kidding? Taking care of such a large family is like 4 full time jobs.

I worry what would happen if something happened to either parent. Logistically it would be nearly impossible to manage as a single parent.

I would think all the kids are aall grown and moved out.I would love to see an update.

+Kristen Kurk It was only for a few minutes while she adjusted the baby's car seat.

Christy Wright At the start of the video she said she originally wanted six kids. I meant that if she had only six of her own, she could just wait to become a grandma many times over.

I used to wish I had more than two kids, but now that I'm a grandma I'm happy I didn't. All the love and none of the dirty work lol

Roe Kemp Totally no one's business but her own how many children she has. They have enough love and provisions to go round. That's all that matters. If they want to have over 20 that's their business too, not ours. Large families are the happiest and their children best balanced.
