The one who’s exhausted is not the mother or father. It’s the eldest kids. 🥴

What appals me is how none of these parents listen to their children. All the children were saying how they couldn't stand the chaos, the noise, didn't want any more kids. "My parents are addicted to babies." And the parents are like, "I think they love having someone around them all the time, I think they love a big family."

The noise, the mess, the chaos, the expense, the lack of privacy. I'll be out of that house as soon as I can.

Having a kid at the age of 14 is something I can't even imagine, let alone a whole army of them. It's absolutely insane, the elder kids must feel so neglected ngl.

The dark truth behind these families is how much responsibility is put on the older kids....

I just can't imagine looking at my own genes and thinking, "Yup, this is perfect, let's make fifteen more."

This is challenging me as an OB nurse. I whole heartedly believe that everyone has the rights to their own body and we cannot force a hysterectomy on someone just for having kids. But the ethical issues that are associated with this is beyond my scope. The kids are clean, fed, and developing accordingly with their milestones. But I have to wonder how this is going to impact the kids mentally in the future. Both positives and negatives.

My grandma was like this, wanted to have babies but not children. As soon as they were 1-2 years she'd have another one, and just abandoned the older kids to be looked after by my mum who was the eldest.

The woman complains about how her biological mother gave her up for adoption and made her feel unwanted but she doesn't realize that the lack of attention she gives to her kids is making them feel unwanted too.

"Having more babies is worth the risk." Really? Because um. Pretty sure your children would rather have their mother than another sibling. That mentality is actually scary.

What concerns me is the ability to give each of their children the proper amount of time and attention and the huge amount of responsibility placed on the older children.

"Sue's been pregnant almost her entire adult life" My guy? She got pregnant at 14? She's been pregnant the ENTIRETY of her adult life

"Being in a big family is horrible" - child The parents = Yeah we just want another baby

i feel so sad for the thirteen year old girl at the second family, it seems like she actually wants to go to school and also genuinely cares for her brothers. probably her mom doesn't pay attention to her.

The thought of even having one kid is enough to bring me out in a cold sweat! Who in their right mind would want a dozen of them?! Madness 😮

If you want a lot of kids you better be able to give each child love, attention, care, a stable home, good environment/ education and for a child to be a child.

I'm not against big families but having many children and not being able to give each one the best future possible is just not right.

The lack of privacy some of these kids have. My god, being 22 and sharing a room with your baby brother must be freaking torment!

I’m the youngest of 7 children (20years old now) Our childhood was rough! After my mums parents started to get ill (when I was little) that put a massive strain on our family and sent my mum into a breakdown. My mum and dads relationship fell apart and she became a single mum. Her dad dying and the stress of the kids were too much to bear, we were neglected and had to be taken away from her. One of the older kids ended up in foster care, and the rest of us forced to live with our dad or sofa surf as a young adult. We all struggled with suicidal tendencies and depressed from the trauma of our childhood and I was raised completely by my siblings. I can’t imagine how hard it was for my older siblings to look after the young ones let alone being in a family double the size! Our childhood has effected us all even into a adulthood. However, the relationship I have with my siblings is absolute amazing. We are all best friends and love spending time with each other now. I truly hope that these family’s get the light at the end of the tunnel as I did. But, their age gaps are a lot larger than ours so being close as adults may be more difficult. Another thing is the house, having 7 kids and keeping a tidy house is almost impossible, with money being very tight and my mum couldn’t afford to get rid of anything and developed hoarding problems. Tidying the house and doing that much loads of washing was unmanageable alone. The house became so cluttered it was honestly a health hazard, we turned up to school regularly unbathed with knotted hair and the wrong shoes on. You can imagine the knock on effect that had to our education, it’s hard to concentrate with the pressure of what’s going on at home.

I had twins at 38 weeks naturally in hospital went home the same day. I had breathing problems as well around 27 weeks on because twins take up your whole stomach. They were 7 pounds per baby. Grateful ❤️❤️

Anyone watching this when the whole country is in isolation? Imagine how they will deal with that lol

I feel so bad for the 13-year old girl. She is being denied her right of an education and lives in such a stressful household. This mother is not qualified to give them classes and she is sabotaging her daughter's future. I seriously hope that she didn't develop depression in her teen years, she looks so done with it all.

I only have one sibling and still sometimes thought that my parents weren't giving me enough time when I was growing up. Now as an adult and having adult conversations with my parents, I had my mom confess that more than once she struggled harshly with being a stay-at-home parent, and my dad telling me of how he lost sleep thinking on how to provide and not being home that much. We were just TWO kids and there were still so many things my parents wished they did differently and things my sibling and I wished they did to connect better with us. Most kids here are still small, but when they start becoming teens and needing new different kind of attention and more space things are gonna get wild. I can only imagine that it already is to the older kids who, for intents and purposes, have to be parents to their youngest siblings, that's a responsibility they didn't ask for. There's more to having kids than giving them food, clothes and shelter, there is no way all those kids are getting their emotional needs met

Damn man. I'm a middle child in a family with only 3 kids but that middle child syndrome is so real. Even though I've only got 2 other siblings, I felt ignored a lot of the time as a child and I often felt as if I didn't matter as much as my older and younger siblings. I can only imagine how the kids in incredibly large families like these must feel. It breaks my heart. It really does 💔

Woman: *keep having baby’s * Vagina, bills, etc.: *am I a joke to you*

Isnt it a red flag when the kids sound like they have more common sense than the parents??? Jeez

Imagine growing up with zero privacy, a mum that spends 6k on strollers instead of education, parents who suffer SO HARD from being adopted, they spend their entire life on popping out children. These kids will never escape this family bubble or get a job outside of the family business..

I feel so bad for those kids. They need public school. They need to reach all the school milestones and need to make friends and get a break from the exhaustion. Especially the ones over the age of 8 that are stressed. Poor guys. 😕

The fact that the lady’s 8th grade daughter was learning the same things at the first grader is soooo concerning. Her “history lesson” was pathetic

it's so sad how thw daughter quite clearly says her mom isn't qualified to be a teacher... she sounds as if she really wanted to learn

The fact the first family have had like 7/8 more babies since the video

I actually saw a documentary about the Radford family as the 21st (!!) baby arrived. I actually think that this family is surprisingly happy. The children all seemed well still and the oldest children said that they wouldn‘t want it different 😊

Her:I really enjoy being pregnant. Me: scared of the thought of even being pregnant

I’m not watching bc I want a lot of babies, I’m watching bc I’m bored and I’m in quarantine🙃😂 who else?

Is she trying to do the 100 baby sims challenge????😭

These parents are beyond selfish. They’ve got this baby fever without considering the fact that they can’t equally care for and love every child, it’s impossible. That mum “teaching” her children is a crime how can you teach a 4 year old and a 13 year old at the same level. I feel so bad for that 13 year old girl she deserves proper education as well as all of them. Smh.

This man is saying it’s immoral to stop a life. It’s immoral to neglect your already living and growing children!

A lady who dropped out of school after getting pregnant with her first child takes her kids out of school, one, because she doesn’t agree with early childhood sex education. Is that irony or just plain ignorance? I guarantee those kids know full well where babies come from already.

He says he hates a big family , but take them all away and he’s miss them terribly . They really do run a wonderful daily life, dinner together , school lunches, and just overall love you can see . Hard work and dedication from mom and dad. ❤

I’m the youngest of 10, my mom was the oldest of 9 and her dad was a middle child in a family of 13. Screw anyone that doesn’t like it! We all loved growing up in a big family! We always had someone to play with. My mom was an Angel and was a wonderful mother! My dad was never afraid of hard work!

A lady, addicted to having children, does not believe sexual education at the beginning of puberty is appropriate.... 🤦🏾‍♀️

If if were one of the older daughters, I'd be slipping some birth control in mom's tea.

Did anyone else here the narrator say “and his wife sue is about to have baby number 50”

Imagine being close to teenage years and being stuck at home all day learning about the same stuff as your 3 year old sibling? 😢

Having that much kid isn't blessing, it's a torture to the kids.

I grew up in a family of 13, my mom LOVED being pregnant. Watching this reminded me of the complete chaos, noise, and fights. I was the quiet one that craved attention but always felt a sensory overload. My mom also homeschooled us - but we went into the education system for high-school. Some struggled, some thrived - a social life was impossible as a kid, we had to babysit, do chores, do homework etc. I love and have close bonds with my siblings, but I'm a little bitter I missed a relationship with my mom. She was so focused on the new baby or the new pregnancy, or the chaos on hand; it's not possible to remember the quiet child.

Those kids need a better life, Most times it amazes me greatly how I moved from an average lifestyle to earning over $63k per month, Utter shock is the word. I have understood a lot in the past few years that there are lots of opportunities in the financial market. The only thing is to know where to invest.

One of my close friends has 9! She homeschools and her husband is retired military. They are very calm and great with their babies! I could never do it, more power to these families. God Bless them!

If my parents were to tell me "take care of your 15 brothers and 13 sisters" I'll be like "bye, you made them not me" 🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️🏃🏻‍♀️

They all need therapy, not more babies. It seems they are trying to treat their different traumas with more babies

The real issue is you simply don't have the time to give each kid the attention they need to grow up mentally healthy. Even two kids can stretch that sometimes. It's irresponsible and selfish to have this many children. It's not about them, it's just about the parents. At what point does this become child abuse?

i noticed how fast the kids seem to mature when theyre caring for the littler ones

I think she just enjoys not having her period

Addicted to babies is right. They don’t care about having and raising children and watching them grow up. They just want the babies. But they don’t stay young so they’ve got to keep having them. Selfish and irresponsible. Poor kids.

In my opinion it’s an addiction. Children require attention as well as love and food and security. They seem happy God bless them all 🙏🙏🙏

As an only child this is unimaginable, I don't know if I would survive living in such families

there is no way any of these parents can give the healthy amount of time and attention to each individual child to guarantee these children will be psychologically & emotionally sound. what a tragedy

This hole Thing is about her having 15 children. *Why is no one talking about the fact that she is 36 years old and have a 22-year-old daughter making her 14 years of age when she had her first kid that is insane*

here's some homeschooling advice: you don't teach 7th grade subjects to 3rd and 4th graders and kindergartners, as well as 11th graders.... teach them the subjects they need to be learning at their age and stop generalizing. Plus just copy a public school schedule from the internet and get rid of the topics you find inap like education on ... and so on EDIT #1: You could send them to kumon for math and english difficulties so that they can have structure and still have a somewhat normal classroom experience and direct communication with friends and teachers.

This is a sickness and should not be allowed to happen. None of those children will get enough attention and love from their parents, growing up in constant chaos. This is what hell looks like.

Here’s a red flag three minutes in how they keep on saying they love babies yet never really mentioned their own children when they grow up it’s like they love the euphoria that they get up having a shiny new toy but once it wears off they can’t handle it and want a new one

Imagine loosing a fundamental part of childhood which is school, making friends and socialising just because mummy want the feeling of a new baby

I’m the second of 7 kids and my younger siblings all suffer from a learning need or a disability it’s hard to be living all under one roof but I’m glad my parents didn’t make me feel like I had to look after them for them I always feel as I’m helping and not a second mother I’m happy my family are happy as large as we are we never have a dull moment ❤❤❤❤

I would be so mad at my mom. With that many kids the individual children dont get enough attentention and even more bc of the fact that she risks her life with more and more pregnancies. I cant imagine the feeling of loosing my mom because of it ... The risks are insane. How can she confidently continue and risk all of it... her kids could grow up without a mom :( The fact she doesnt even let them go to school and socialize or get a proper education is even worse :( This woman needs help and work through her trauma instead of ... this... :(

Sure... yeah... A woman who dropped out of college and then starts obsessively having babies thinks she can do a better job than fully qualified teachers. I feel so so sorry for her kids.

The thing is, most people dont even recognize this as a form of neglect. You cannot have that many children and take care of their emotional needs. Those eldest siblings must be exhausted too

It is impossible to give attention to all kids at the same time, it most always turns out the older sibilings raise younger ones while mom is busy making more kids. You dont even have time to spend any alone time with each kid to get to know them, you can barely talk to each during the day.

Poor kids. Just having kids for selfish reasons is inhumane.

Usually when someone’s mom tells her children she is pregnant, they are like really we are getting A new sibling, for them it’s just a regural monday.

When the little boy says “Living in a big family is horrible” wow.... you really see the cause of that. There’s NEVER time for the individual... :(

This is the IRL Loud House yo

Oh God, poor children. It's really hard to watch how sad, overwhelmed and hard - pushed they are. I'm really sorry dor rhem.

I'm the second oldest (6 kids, me included) and I always felt like my parents didn't give me much attention. I can't imagine how some of these kids feel. There's no way you can give each kid the love and attention they need

This is me when I play the sims lmao

A parent is the most important teacher they teach every day raising their children

As soon as the eldest ones can do tasks, they are put to work to care for the younger ones. That is how it was years ago with large families, too. The eldest never got to be kids, as they became caregivers to their brothers and sisters. They spend their time with housework, laundry, cleaning up messes, and generally being a free housekeeper/babysitter who is taken for granted after the age of about 5, and labelled as "Momma's helper." As each one gets older they must also pick up the chores as they are able. They feel a lot of responsibility for the welfare of the household. If they are on a farm, the chores become harder and kids become adults long before they are ready.

its funny how the homeschool mom doesnt want them in public school because of "early sex education" yet your talking to ur first grade child about genocide and war.... but dont want to address how all of your blessings are made...????

I feel so bad for the 13 year old girl, She must be so stressed :(

I'm the youngest of 14 kids but we lived on a farm so grew lots of our own food. I can't imagine growing up in a city. It wouldn't be as fun cuz the outdoors are such a big part of life.

The Radfords have 21 children now and they lost one to miscarriage between the 15th and 21st. The thing I can say about that family is they’re not on benefits, don’t need handouts, provide a lovely loving home for their children and financially cover everything on their own. They should be able to have as many as they’d like as they are the exception to these families because all of their children and now grandchildren as well still choose to live at home or come over daily and holiday as a family too. Even the one they say is the most hated- why do they hate her? All her children are happy, healthy and from the same father. She divorced the father and now has no support from him and now needs benefits. Until the divorce she never needed help. Her and her husband provided. She’s not leeching off the system. She’s a single mom now and she can’t work enough jobs to provide for her family by herself. She needs assistance. I’m sure between her and her husband they paid in plenty. I don’t necessarily agree with these mega families but if they can take care of themselves and they’re happy and not causing problems then what’s the problem? They’re not popping out kids and using the benefit money for booze and drugs…

It’s fine, she’s just doing the 100 baby challenge.

They say not wanting to have children is selfish but when I see these women who ignore health risks and their other children’s needs because being pregnant and nursing is a drug to them, I can’t help myself thinking that this is real selfishness.

1st family seem hectic but so much fun, and the second family seem stressful. I wish all health and happiness.

I think the biggest hit on life gets the oldest kids since they get to take care of young ones while the mother is busy with the newborn and pregnancy most of the time. My grandmother was born into a big family, she wanted to go to school but her parents wouldn't let her cuz they had young kids and a farm to look after.

Selfish parents. How are these children being properly looked after in such a huge family? None of these children have privacy either. I would go insane.

the mom: i love being pregnant the older kids: but imagine how tired we are

This is straight up abuse 😭 I know damn well they not rich and they definitely putting all the responsibility on the oldest kids

When it gets to the point where your children are raising your babies and those babies are taking care of each other and missing out on their own childhood, that's a damn problem

36 with a 22 year old. She was 14 when she started having children!!!

weird how they talk about the women can't stop having babies. The women presented in the video have a partner who happens to be the dad of these children. So I guess the fathers cannot 'stop having babies' as well. I think the linguistic framing is off either way.

It’s honestly sad she’s never even given her uterus time to heal enough 🤦🏻‍♀️

ironic that the dad is a baker. really puts emphasis on “a bun in the oven” lol

Even with their now 22 children, the Radfords seem to be the more "normal" family. I never knew that they were both adopted, but it makes sense that they want what they never had before, biological relatives.

So many children without parents, without homes that really would be blessed to be adopted… 😢

Kids from big families have skills most will never get. Being few and spoiled is far worst and wont prepare you for adulthood. I was alone and I always been struggling in understanding social skills.

“She can’t have any more we won’t fit in this house “ Imagine your 7yr old child having more common sense than the adult ... honestly I feel bad for them, that’s an unhealthy environment.

It is like the parents don't hear their children crying.

As an individual who doesn’t want any children this would be my worst nightmare.

This is horrible. There's no way each child gets the attention they need. There's no way they will get the education that they need. No matter how I try, I simply can't get behind this.

These people don’t need more children, they need therapy. I’m scared to see what would happen when they go through menopause.
