Real Families: Coping with Huge Family Dynamics 

Robinson yeah like “you mess with 1 you mess with the other 15 of us”

Robinson my last name is ⬆️⬆️⬆️

Now theres 20 or 21 .

Yaaa x

Facts

KSMaxiefan01 yeah she said she first got pregnant at 14! That's insane. she was a baby!

Jessica Hamilton wv She wasent a baby?!?!?

Yes, they said she had her first at 14. There was a picture of her and her husband and first baby during the video. They looked like an older brother and sister holding a baby brother !!

2ndhandSue they really did

well that explains a lot

I agree, I mean If they are making there own money and are working then by all means have as many as you want, but it’s just when they don’t work and relay on benefits that’s when I have a issue. But ehh that’s my opinion

@@jessgriffiths6325 I agree, there is a large family who don't claim benefits and they rely on the money the parents bring in. So that is why I don't have a problem.

Charlotte Rosehoof sameee

@@theda_edits6663 The Radford's have their own business.

@@MultiEve35 yeah it's the ones who keep popping out children and expect the government and taxpayers to keep funding them. That's the ones I don't like. Nothing against the children it just the parents who want to keep reproducing like rabbits for money.

Meee

Me

Duh that’s why we are scrolling down

Me!

Or how many pads she has to buy

Unicorn _Playz oof

I guess it saves money because of the tampon tax that was a thing when this doc was made

I would rather not

Detranica AKA Delta LMAO

Detranica AKA Delta lollll

Detranica AKA Delta yeah I not having kids I having dogs lol

Detranica AKA Delta ya I was also thinking of that

I feel you man x

Agreed, the Sulivain family gives me the creeps, plus I feel so bad for the oldest, she basically has no space of her own (obvious from the first clip of them with a younger sibling taking a book she was reading and messing it up, there would be a smackdown if anyone took any of my books), which personally would drive me insane.

Kaitlin Hannah The brilliant thing about homeschooling is that you don't have to be a qualified teacher: my mum isn't, but she homeschooled all of us, and there are now three boys in Cambridge.

By "not qualified", the daughter meant that her mother has not got a teaching degree from University. Neither has my friend who is homeschooling her 6 kids. You don't need to be a formalized teacher. You get all the materials you need from the School Board to teach your kids with. All the curriculum is laid out and the lessons are in the book, with suggested activities for kids of different ages in order to learn the material. The only time my friend brings in someone else is to help with high school math which she feels she isn't qualified to teach. Then they use tutors if they need to, to help one or more kids get through a section of Math or Science that they're having difficulty with. Also, homeschoolers are not usually alone. Most of them belong to homeschooling groups which meet regularly for field trips and activities so that the kids get social time with other kids, like traditionally schooled kids would do at recess time - get together and play. Within those groups of homeschooling parents, there are usually parents who are good at Math, or good at Music, or good at Science, who help each other out. While my friend gets Math teaching help from another parent in the group, she will take his children and work with them on projects or crafts because she's good at those things. All in all, homeschooled kids get a lot more one-on-one attention from different "teachers" with different skill sets than traditionally schooled kids get.

Kaitlin Hannah also school just isn't about learning. It's also about the kids learning social skills and other skills they can't learn at home.

It doesn't matter that she doesn't have a teaching degree, she dropped out of college (British college is ages 16-18, so in American terms, she doesn't have a high school diploma). Surely someone who finished education at 16 is not qualified to teach a teenager! And high school teachers all have different specialities. My high school maths teacher wouldn't have been able to teach me history, so how can we expect a normal parent with no higher education to teach every subject to the standard of a high school teacher?

She definitely does not seem happy.

I hate it! The oldest one at the table is 13 she's teaching the same things, I'm sure she doesn't know everything about chemistry,calculus and more that the kids will need once in their teen years, they will suffer in college, especially with all the new ways and methods of teaching and evolving subjects

Gizzy's Travels agree, she needs help

Gizzy's Travels once they are in year 5 they have to go to school BC of sats and other things in secondary school

Ruby Ansu Gyeabour actually they dont have to go to school as long as they are getting educated Plenty of homeschooled children take exams pass them and do well

lol this comment made me laugh a lot. I’m thinking about having one kid and I’m terrified haha

Vienna Elizabeth my family has more than 30 dinner plates. I’m a only child.

tuan ngo ermmm.... did you see him standing on the table?!?

Rachel Steel you try to look after half of the amount kids they have and see how that works out for you, kids will be kids but in general they are well behaved, well mannered.

tuan ngo they were raised right! it seems crazy that shes got so many but she's doing amazing at raising them to be great people, she truly is an amazing mum

The older ones but not really the younger one the older ones a really helpful

th

Ugh I know, it crazy.

Chiara you're right. And she's not thinking about the kids she already has. They could be left without a mother due to her stupidity......and who would take on that many kids if something did happen?

bc what she loves is being pregnant, the moment she is not, she wants it again.

Chiara that's terrible to say yes they have many but it's not living if ur not happy soo please don't leave comments like that

Chiara Yes and she say that its Gods will... yes right...!!! Selfish woman... and send those kids to School so they can get a life and not only listen to the bible...

Maryse Flore Ya the radfords seem happy with the big family but the Sullivan's seem like the kids are stressed

Yes I follow them now since Heidie was born and to think Oscar has now 6 (7) mre little tiny ones is amazing. Their vlogs are amazing.

Creepy? Why is that? Because she home schools her kids? Surely you must have some reasoning to back up your creepy claim.

@@DeplorableArab it's the vibe of "I want to control what my kids know". Sounds a bit like a cult

@@theMerryMonarch A parent should control what their kids know and when the children become of age they can venture out and learn on their own. But minors should have limitations on what they learn and who better to decide that than the ones that made them.. The alternative is letting the government decide and that's just ridiculous.

Millie Brookes I agree. My mother had severe complications with me. I'm her third child, she always wanted 6. She got her tube tied immediately after I was born. She knew it was better to raise the three she had than risk having another and not seeing any of us grow up.

What does conceptration mean?

Long Hair, Don't Care contraception isnt an abortion. stop spreading false information all due to your deluded views on how people should have freedom and expression of sexuality contraception is preventing an otherwise unwanted birth. abortion isnt prevention, its ridding of a foetus that is possibly conceived due to inaffective contraception how ignorant do you have to be

lmao ikr

Squishy Pixelz yeah and?

The difference between 11, 12 and 13 months is significant enough to not use years.

To your pediatrician, maybe. Not to the general public.

even to the general public. It's okay to use for children under 2 years of age (the closer to 2 years, the more obsolete it gets).

B 27x Idk.....I'd probably just like write em all down on calendar..

B 27x the thing is... how does she remember all those names?!

B 27x they don’t have to as long as they love them

Imagine all that cake 🤤😨

One for every month😂

I am in a family of 4 kids and have to watch my siblings during the summer four days a week for 12 hours and before and after school I'm only 14 and barely have a social life outside school because of watching them one of my siblings is autistic but I bet these kids don't get a social life i agree completely

Chiara I

Chiara i recently Saw that having so many children contributes to global warming. So I think it is extremely selfish to have so many even if they Can take Care of them. They d be happy with 2 and could give more attention and love to two rather than 14..

Everything contributes to global warming, many developed countries populations are starting to peak and decline, because many choose to have 1-2 so there is no growth. Families like this actually help to even the population rate. And in about 20-30 years countries like the US and U.K. Are going to be wanting more babies because we are gonna have too many elderly and not enough young to support and contribute to the work force

xcamillef94 think of all the cars on the roads and all the high rise buildings popping up everywhere. Theres the biggest problem with global warming.

that's why we will import Mexicans...

definitely and im not really surprised

Yeah

20th is due in September. Edit: Lost count somewhere - thought it was 19th but guess the last one (less than a year ago) was actually 19th. Oi. Stop having kids, folks! LMAO How do they keep it straight themselves? LOL

melissa 😩😳

melissa I think so 😂

Yes +Melissa coming September

They do really have 19 as Alfie had died but suppose they like to say we have 20 children

Glenda Field I have to wonder too

Glenda Field .

People with one or two children do the same thing. They don't pay enough attention. You can't say she would pay more attention to less kids. Some parents of 1 or 2 only give their children 10 minutes of their time if not less. Some people with 3 or 4 kids could give their kids 20 minutes a day. It really depends on the person. The parent. How much time is given to yours? More time doesn't necessarily mean more love because an 8 year old might not want to spend an hour being entertained while a 3 year old might need your attention every 15min. It's their home as long as they aren't abused and as long as the parent feeds, clothes, and shows some affection/nurturing they'll be fine.

watch the radford family channel and see for your self.... amazing parents.

Trisha Kay Paytas same lolz xx 💕💕💕

Trisha Kay Paytas so your not british

I worked with a woman who homeschooled her four girls. The woman in question wasn't educated beyond high school herself but she looked into anything and everything for her children. Sometimes they learned together, especially with languages. One of her daughters won an award for her writing from Princeton when she was 14. That is the school she is now attending. All 4 of those children have very impressive academic credentials. She took them to all sorts of places for field trips, organized volunteer work for the family on a regular basis, had a garden, cooked different ethnic foods and just anyting she could think of to enrich their lives. If only children in public schools had such an education.

Susan Williams Completely agree with your statement. I started Homeschooling when I entered high-school and it’s been a big game changer for me.

Thanks for this

i don't think anyone is saying homeschooling in itself is wrong, just that that family seems to be doing it for the wrong reasons (to shelter them) and with that many kids, its probably not ideal because you have to cover the curriculum for a wide range. one person can't give that many kids the attention they need academically, across a range of subjects. also i think, if someone is going to homeschool, its important that they have clubs or meet ups so the kids can still be socialised.

Lola Jones theres a documentary where she has 16 kids

Lola Jones 21 due in November I think , it’s a girl

SummerManning X what ??!!

Yes she had a baby girl called Bonnie on 13tn November. Number 21

Lola Jones 21 now

They appear very happy to me :)

Chloe and Callum well having twins is mostly a genetic thing, so unless there’s twins somewhere in their family tree she won’t have any either.

She's had over 20 kids. I'd say that's a sign that she's not handling it well.

Connie Beachump 😬😬😬

but no one show be allowed to tell them that they cant have so many kids. its her body if she wants to have 14 kids then its no ones say to stop her.

Carrie Cooper it's not overpopulated I have a lot of space where I live lol climate change isn't caused by more ppl tho

Priscilla Reyna because they are on benefits and the more kids they have the more benefits they get

Yes it is, each person consumes a huge amount of energy and other resources over the period of an average life time

Priscilla Reyna lol there not

Checkmate

cupcakeprincess it's not

cupcakeprincess Many believe that contraception it just another form of abortion, and that abortion is the murder of a baby.

Emilyne Caspers Ok, thanks

Contraception does not cause abortions. That's misinformation.

Emilyne Caspers that is wrong many christians believe it goes against god because he told us to be fruitful and multiply. (Aka make babys) any form of contraception is bad, the only 'contraception' that is acceptable is pulling out 😂

KatieGold they also have an Ellie and Hallie

diana tralli expecting* 😂😂

Sorry english is not my first language

Khushi Kapoor that’s why you have 14 kids to help out

Growing plants.

Rina: Isn't it "her body/her business?" That's what all the pro-choice women scream. LOL. (I'm against abortion btw) - However, if she wants and can have and can afford children...That IS her right. It's better to HAVE BABIES than to MURDER THEM like many women "CHOOSE to DO", don't you agree? I do. People, esp women, have to be the same in their "arguments." You cannot, on one hand, say you have a right to get abortion claiming "it's my body and my right and on other hand criticize a woman you don't agree with for wanting and having kids using logic or the ILLOGICAL argument that "she shouldn't hurt her body this way." (Not saying YOU are, but many woman commenters are saying this on here and it's ridiculous.) It's double-minded and either you have CHOICE over your body or you don't. I say LIFE is better THAN DEATH. Merry Christmas.

If they’re not suppose to carry children then why are they able?

Rubbish - weve all been brainwashed into having fewer and fewer children at an older and older age, in a more restricted and stressful financial environment - theyre self employed and that is the only way they have been free to live the life they wanted to live - unlike the rest of the population who are going entirely against nature and dont even realise it - look how healthy these people and their children look - compared to people who have been in education forever and start a career in their mid 20s and squeeze in children between the mortgage and the career. Were the mugs.

if you have you period , you're able to carry a baby ... that's the point of periods

Erica Asjaee it's about someone's maturity too and ability to raise financially.

Charlotte Mulhearn because they all rely on benefits

Over population - parents should have < two children, to replace the parents

Charlotte Mulhearn k

overpopulation, kids don't get enough attention (especially eldest)

People can judge them if they want to, if a mother decides to continue having children even after she knows that she is high risk then she is not only risking her life but also her children’s. If the mother dies in birth then those children will be left alone and no one could take care of that many alone. Not only that but when you have 12+ children then you can’t give all of them enough love and attention. Go and have kids but people need to realize exactly what it does to the children and how it will affect them. They can have kids but there’s a difference between having 5 dogs and having 15. Is selfish to have so many children just because you want to and to not think about the actual children who you will have to raise For example the family who went on vacation seem to be more then able to care and give attention to all of their children, and I’ve seen other families that also do well but the one where the mom is paranoid and insufficiently homeschooling her children is wrong. That mom should put the needs of her children above her own

Umm... The world is overpopulated not underpopulated

Chloe Stuart expecting number 20😂😂😂

i know right weird would never do that

She has has number 21 now Bonnie was born last month.

20 ,one dead

Lynsey Fuller I know that but they still include Alfie.

@@lynseyfuller3869 21 kids, but 1 called alfie died

@@lynseyfuller3869 22 kids now

Sadly, no choice sometimes I'm healthy enough to have my own children but not allowed to adopt or foster.

StevieJJhall1997 in he's adorable the Radford's are on Instagram (The Radford family)

Number 21 her names Bonnie Ray

ikr

jas what does it mean?

Theresa Baker it means I know right lol

Anna Mallory ii

JAchica11 She can skedaddle at 16, if she wants. I don’t think it’s fair, that the oldest, never gets a life of their own, because they have constantly having to help out. Why should they. If you can’t cope with them on your own, don’t have them. Why should other kids, not have a childhood.

Cupcakedude Yang it’s in the uk, there is no thanksgiving

Why would they need to pay for higher education? The loans are something most uni students have to take out in Britain, it's very unusual for parents to pay the fees. And the Radfords seem to have a decently sized house... you're right though, I would be worried looking after that many kids 24/7! Props to them for managing it
