1 bathroom, 5 kids aged 10 to 16, and only 40 minutes to get them ready for school - perfect ingredients for plenty of chaos, fights and family drama.
It may sound like a nightmare to some, but mum Ethel Lee says her children are her "greatest achievement".

On The Red Dot looks at life in Singapore's rare big families, in the series Full House: cna.asia/2MPtePH
About the series:
It’s tough to raise children in a country where the rising cost of living coupled with the huge stress to excel at school makes most couples consider stopping at 2 - or even 1. But our 4 families are bucking the trend with 5 and even 7 children! What does it take to raise a supersized family? Amidst the laughter and the tears, On The Red Dot reveals the inner lives of what it means to grow up in a Full House.

in consideration of the previous ' 7 kids and less than 3k per month vid ' , this is what i find to be the ideal big family - a family where they can actually afford for the children to be happy and live comfortably without having to sacrifice the mother's emotional wellbeing / scrimp and save all the time without being able to enjoy themselves. life shouldnt be about just barely living , but this family can actually make enough to have some form of luxury ( from what we can see at least ) eg going to adventure cove n having two dogs , not to talk abt the landed property they stay in now . most importantly , feel that the father here takes more responsibility for the kids and he actually does a lot more since he travels a lot for work but was also depicted cooking for the family

@renderz8435
@renderz8435 6 лет назад
fuusha 99 it was a 2 storey kind of rental house. Not some pathetic 1 room flat. I presume he sold his previous landed property/condo and stayed in this rented house as a short term thing to save up for a landed property. They didn't mention that the kids were on financial assistance. Unlike the 7 children family. So this family could afford to raise the kids, and was well to do.

5 kids, 2 parents, 1 aunt, 1 maid. and yet they have 2 large dogs. and only the dad works. how much is he earning to be able to support so many people including 2 dogs. i feel like if the mom could even work part time, their earnings would double. since they have a maid at home and the children are grown, she could help the dad out with the financial burden.

But they have something very important a working parent seldom have with their children . Communication and understanding. Instead of just shutting them out, and correcting "misbehaviour" with only discipline. I applaude her for being a stay at home mom to build a wise , trusting and fun relationship with her daughters. So that when they have problems, whether house chores wise, school education, friends or even boyfriend girl friend problems they can turn to her instead of them bottling it up with no help or resolution..
@aishaansari9369
@aishaansari9369 3 года назад
If she will start working who is going to look after the kids? Talking to them and solving their problems? Doing chores and cooking? People don't appreciate housewife work. In reality her work is stressful, raising 5 kids plus doing house chores. Ma sha Allah, may Allah guide this family to the straight path.

@mickayla1914 5 лет назад
it's good that's she's pretty young with that many kids, from the video it says she had her first child when she was 21 and crystal is 16 which means she's about 37. most of the kids i know in my grade, 7th grade, their parents are in their 40's and some in their 50's. it's good that the mum is young therefore she has enough energy to deal with the children. i do agree they have a lot of children but i like this type of family as opposed to the one with seven children because the father has a good job and has a large income. i see that the older children have like the new iPhones, crystal from what i see has an iphone 7 or 8 plus. they do have a smaller place than the seven children family but now they are moving into a bigger place where im sure the kids will have their own rooms. the dad is a bit crazy for thinking of a 6tg child. i get that it is their choice and my opinions or anyone else's shouldn't hold them back but the wife does not want any more kids so i think the dad should respect that. also if the wife has another child at this age she'll be in her 50's when the child is in their teens while all the other five children are all grown up.

It’s easier said than done. It’s not easy to raise a child in Singapore borderline, with how high the standard of living is, how do you pay for a child’s school fee alone when one-third of your income is used to pay taxes and having your hard-earned money credited into an account that you have no control and reach over? Lets not forget that even if you take public transport and eat plain rice everyday for 3 meals, your monthly expenditure could reach up to 200-300 dollars alone.

When I become a mum, I would like to maintain a close relationship with my children - because I want them to have emotional understanding from both sides, not just lock it all up and let it burst in the future. Having a close relationship with your children can have it's disadvantages yes, but in the long run you will end up closer to them and have more fun in life. Life does not need to be so serious... :) Love.
