This Only Human documentary explores the lives of Britain's biggest family and how they cope with their chaotic and unique lives. Sue and Noel Radford have 16 kids already and they aren't stopping there. The couple were both given up for adoption at birth and due to their neglected childhoods wanted a big family. Sue first fell pregnant with Chris at just 14 in 1989 and was determined to keep the baby. She married Noel four years later - and they were soon expecting their second child Sophie. From then onwards she gave birth to a new child every year for over a decade. But as they try for number 17 there are complications and the family is faced with some life-changing news.
Only Human celebrates and explores the unique and personal qualities we all have. Our channel offers a range of TV series and documentaries about human experiences and life journeys - while looking at the challenges life throws at us, turning ordinary people into everyday heroes.

I just looked this family up and they've since had more children. (Wasn't surprised as this video seemed old) but as of Jan 19, 2022 they have *22* children and *12* grandchildren

@andred7684 2 года назад

Truth be said: There's no way parents can give total psychological attention to all of their kids. Dad doesn't even remember everyone's birthdays, so I wonder how many kids might feel displaced by that? As if it were an easy task to raise children and give them proper support and equal treatment. It's visible that there are kids who feel bugged that there are babies still popping out. I wonder also how many fights those kids pick, that's really saddening, children aren't toys to be part of a collection to an egoistic parent but humans living through their own eyes and in their own universe (mind).

@gillianbrookwell1678 2 года назад

@blackswan1983 2 года назад

I worked in social services and my dad is #3 of 21 children. I can confidently say that it comes down to how healthy their attachment develops. When asked about whether or not they felt neglected, my aunts said the love only grew, it didn't divide. There weren't any luxuries such as vacations and farmwork was mandatory, but they talk about their upbringing like they won the jackpot. Contrast that with well-off, small, cold families.

@R.M.3.14 2 года назад

@@blackswan1983 I agree with this. My ‘step’ grandma had like 14 kids/pregnancies and between miscarriages and a childhood death, she ended up with 8 living. All of them lived in a one room house/shake. They are still very close in their 50-60s and have family reunions every year and there’s always multiple some ones to lean on in times of crisis. My other grandparents had 1-3 kids each and the bonds/attachment between parent and child and between siblings is miserable compared to the big family. I’m one of two kids and I’m not close to my mother or my sister at all. I’ve had 6 kids and I wouldn’t trade it for anything in the world. I’d have 10 of it weren’t for the way the world is right now.

@RowanWarren78 2 года назад

Parentification is bound to be an issue, along with a certain amount of neglect. Children need individual attention. I don't want to sound too negative, honestly. They seem well adjusted and happy, and I feel the parents are loving caretakers. There are simply negative elements that are often inevitable in these situations.

@jokerz7936 2 года назад

And one child can become a social awkward spoiled brat. There's no magic number if they seem well adjusted and happy as you said that's better than most IMO, so brave to the parents.

@icequeen917 2 года назад

I have to agree with you. How can the kids possibly get that one-on-one time that is so precious with each child. There's no doubt of the love and care but it was a balancing act to give each of my 3 (now grown) kids alone time with me. A lot of times, when there are this many kids, the older kids are tasked with taking care of the younger ones and I believe kids should be allowed to be kids without that kind of responsibility. It can breed bitterness that may come flooding out when the kids are adults. Not to mention the sheer cost of raising children! Insanity!

@cindysemblante4411 2 года назад

I love children, especially babies and toddlers. I was a preschool teacher for many years before I became disabled. I was blessed with 2 beautiful daughters and 2 bonus daughters from my husbands first marriage. Me and my husband both worked full time to provide for our girls. I would have loved to have more then the 4 girls but we knew we couldn’t afford more and it would have been irresponsible to have more babies when couldn’t provide the life I would want to give them. Our kids took piano and guitar lessons, they played the cello, played soccer, did gymnastics and dance and took karate. So they did do extra things, and when I was a kid I was dressed in hand me downs and goodwills clothes, I was teased endlessly about my clothes and didn’t want that for my girls. I have the patience to raise lots and lots of babies but I didn’t have the pocket book to back it up so we stopped. In hindsight I’m glad I did because the kids didn’t have to compete for my attention too much and I was able to focus on them individually several times throughout the day. They had a better quality of life because we stopped

He was very explicit when he said being adopted wasn't the driving force behind having so many kids. He knows his own, and his wife's, mind. There are plenty of people out there, who were not adopted but go on to have lots of kids. I've seen families with 30+ kids.

@priscillarobinson7740 Год назад

@@deathbycheese850 I love children and being pregnant and having babies. I’m the middle of 17 and my husband is also the middle of 17. We met in grammar school and went to the same places like the beach, played ball in the street and did a lot of other things with my and his sisters and brothers. One of my brothers married one of his sisters. We now have such a large family with a few adopted kids in there. No one is out of sorts for being adopted. There are some children that should’ve been placed for adoption as their parents were not mature enough, couldn’t afford them etc. the Radfords are very much in love, love their children, can afford their family and are VERY happy ❤ If they want more children I think that’s great. They are very blessed ❤

And the parents, having so many that you can't even keep the birthdays straight, how can you have a good, strong bond with each child in a situation like that?
