@@keepingitrealUK You all have to help in a large family. I was the eldest in a family of 4 kids (with a working mother and father--middle class). You look out to other siblings. Nobody would abuse a younger sibling or even a neighbour kid on my watch. You learn to be caring and valuable what's truly important in life--other people.
Any excuse to be nasty to them. I think it’s up to them how many children are born to the family. They obviously have nothing else to make fun of them and make awful remarks about them ☹️😢😔
@@barbarastead1227 I only see jealousy in their words. They are SO! Jealous, that both these two beautiful families have a great connection, a strong bond of caring & a powerful love for each other ..... Something I think these Negative Nancy, Jealous Like People don't have nor probably never will have in their sad lives. :(
this women isnt a prolific single mother, shes a mother of 14 with one father to all her children whose marrage fell apart. disgraceful the way this was put together. so what if she claims benefits, she already had her children, then her marrage broke down and she needed benefits, thats what its for!
@@HelenBellen123 With that many young kids still not of school age she'd spend more getting someone else to care for them than she could possibly make in wages. Where's the sense in that?? Not to mention the Dad should be equally responsible for their cost whether he lives with them or not. Then you have to consider that he is the one who wanted the big family in the first place, and he's the one who cheated on benefits. Where is your outrage at him? Why isn't the focus on deadbeat Dad?
@@burnyizland I said the "parents" - that includes the Dad. And I mentioned what was said in the programme that "she" pays. She doesn't. The sense in her working is so that she actually pays for them - same as for the dad. Why should they get away with doing nothing except breeding?
@@HelenBellen123 "True that all her kids are with one man. Benefits are to help people out - the idea isn't to live off them. If she doesn't work, she is scrounging." Exactly which one of those words of yours was 'parents'?
This narrative is disgusting. It starts off saying she's a prolific single parent on benefits. Then you realise she was married they had 14 kids. There's 2 parents yet she is the one being literally dragged..smh...
I know right! Couldn’t have said it better. The poor mother is doing her best, she doesn’t deserve that negativity and nonsense. I know parents of only two children and they can’t handle them and the kids suffer because of bad parenting. That lady has 14 and ALL her children look healthy, safe and happy and that’s all you can hope for as a parent.
@@SavannahVu1985 indeed... agree on people having 2 and struggling.. As for the mother of 14 kids, where's the ex husband in all of this. Why wasn't his lack of co- parenting raised as a issue...
@@katc899 I think that's for all size families. The moment a woman becomes single or separated with children, parent she's labeled, "single mother.. not a parent , coparent, ex wife or ex girlfriend ect.. I find the term single mother derogatory/degrading... Rarely is the term single father used... His just Dad or father...smh...
I'm the eldest of nine children. My heart goes out to the eldest daughter of all these children. We were/are the ones who had to help raise the kids. My father believed that the eldest daughter was responsible for all the other children's bad behavior. Therefore, at least in my case, I was beaten nightly. I hope these children are not being abused. I'm "75," now and I'm in constant pain, in part because of the abuse. I am sending love to all the children who are being or have been abused. May you all know that you will survive and you have the potential to create the life you want. My heart goes out to you.
I feel for what you went through, my grandmother was in the same stch, she had a wicked step mother who move right in after her mum died giving birth to her sister.
At least, if you are the eldest in a large family or even only a child in a large family, you learn early on how to look after yourself and your siblings. I'm the eldest of 4. My brother and my 2 sisters and I all learned to cook and clean at an early age because my mother worked and so did my father.
And, in that story, btw, it says this: "The pair got engaged after Craig jokingly dangled Joanne over a harbour wall until she said yes". So HE chased her, and then ran to the papers after the break up. A suspicious mind might think he'd planned that out.
Yes! Losing a baby stays with some women more than others, which is fine, but I lost mine due to frickin' Endometriosis. This damned disease took my whole womanhood away from me 🥺😖😖😭😭
When you make 14 kids and divorce the parents should take greater responsibility in still doing the day to day together.its not fair that he wanted this big family and he gets to live scott free
Guess u missed the part where the son was asking repeatedly for new trainers and was told he would get them then told they had a wedding to pay for he would have to wait THEN managed to pay for a visit to london (most expensive place I've ever been) for the dad and older son so he could "clear up his past" trainers for a kid that age could be £30 easily tickets for 2 or petrol to London plus overnight stay costs a lot more than 30.... yeah great parenting
@@alexistracey1187I guess U didn’t see the smile on the boys face about his Mum and Dad get married! And U can be sure he really had to go to London, he would never have wasted money just for a nice trip.
@alexistracey1187 None of them walk to school barefooted. Kids always want something. A family with only one child and ample money doesn't always rush out and buy what they ask for. As for trainers at £30 He would likely be a laughing stock. Kids need to know that life isn't without problems, delays and compromise, and understanding their emotions and feelings and how to deal with them in an appropriate way. The world doesn't revolve around only him. Why shouldn't the kids do without luxuries for a little while.
Lee and Emma were on Wife Swap a few years before this show. Lee came across terrible, screaming at the producers and the new wife etc to the point where the new wife had to stay in a hotel and the swap was cut short. Although in fairness that show is edited to really intensify the drama lol, he did come across amazing in this though! The full episode should still be on TH-cam I only seen it recently, pretty sure I could find the link for it if anyone is interested! :)
I’m the youngest of 10 and I love coming from a large family. My siblings are the best. Didn’t have a good father. But our Mom was the best you could ever have. I couldn’t have hand picked a better Mom. I’m so thankful that God let me one of her children .
This is the sweetest comment, aww bless you ❤️ sorry your relationship with your dad wasn't the best. At least you have a loving mother and siblings - sounds like a dream if you ask me. I wish I had lots of siblings like you. I have one half brother but have never met him.
Your mother was a blessing but she picked the wrong man as do most people. Having 10 kids by the wrong man isn’t a smart idea. I hope you make wiser decisions than your mom. I know that would make her proud of you.
This has made me think. I really feel for all the children. No way should they be attacked, either verbal or physical, for being a member of a large family. I really felt for the single mum's eldest daughter, Georgia (I think her name was). When she said she felt like the child's mother, it broke me. Wishing all families the very best in 2024 and congratulations on the nuptials!
Emma and Lee are amazing parents and do everything for their kids. Lee treats each child like they are his own and they work hard to provide for their beautiful children. The wedding was very special and yes I cried when the daughter gave her speech. I feel sad that they felt pressure to get married and the way the kids were bullied by their peers is dusgusting behaviour. I wish each and everyone of them have a wonderful life surrounded by love and fun . Xx
@@myrnawashington9057 you are right, kids pick up on things their parents say and can use it against another child. Parents should know if little ears are listening if they are going to say derogatory things.
Lee & Emma get my vote big time, what a lovely down to earth decent couple with lovely well balanced respectful children, Good on Them Both. Love , Structure & Respect , this Lee guy has his head on the right way . Nothing fancy , no therapy, no bullshit labels , I am seriously impressed by his humility & understanding.
I cried when the kids started crying about their parents getting married - Dillon touched my heart saying he understood why he couldn’t get new trainers because his parents were saving for wedding. Said a prayer for all of the families - God bless them.
They should have BEEN married not 6 kids later. It doesn’t take a man that long to know whether or not he wants to marry you. He knows that because he has 6 kids (the first 4 aren’t his) with her that even if he were to leave her he’d still be stuck because of child support. Plus a single man witj 6 kids isn’t necessarily desired by women unless he’s rich….which he is not. He’s stuck with that lady either way.
I'm the oldest of 10 kid's, growing up was the same ,people looked drow three noses at us, they said we where dirty and lived in dirty house,that was not the case,we had great meals,plenty of love ,clean clothes, had our own job's to do, but that was not the truth. We've all grown up now,all had job's got our own houses. So all I can say is you made me stronger than ever.
When i see so many families with self indulgent kids my heart beats so much harder when i seen a group like the Hamlin family. He might have had a hard start but i hope him and his now missus appreciate how much of a impact they are making in their kids lives. Any parent that can get tears out their kids like that are impressive.
It's not fair that Georgia is a carer for her mums 14 kids, is not her burden and shouldn't be put on her shoulders....the parents are selfish in that family
Renting a wedding dress is highly underrated! I rented my dress 30 years ago and it was the best $300 I ever spent! If you can rent a tux, why not rent for the bride and bridesmaids? Saves BUCKETS and no one is left with something they will never wear again. Bravo!!!
My wonderul dress was bought. Our girl and her friends, boys and girls , loved to play with that dress when she was about 7 /8 years. They played weddings, princess and prince, dancing events, their phantasie was endless. All their games have been 1000 times better than our wedding, although my darling husband and I are still in love. Good luck to brides and gromes.
I will not judge any of these families for what life has thrown at them, I just saw wonderful happy children with lots of love and care. I wish all the families the best of luck, and hope life runs a bit more smoothly for all. x
Because thats not fair to the kids. Swapping half the kids among the parents means that the kids arent going to get to grow up together and thats not fair.
@@Fusemoree I agree. But I still think there’s so much wrong with this dynamic after their divorce. There seems to be zero co-parenting going on since the father does not really seem present…
Going out for a date in a bright white dress somehow doesn't seem correct, but I really feel bad that the man who got her pregnant with the child who passed took off on her. Yes, agreed that the daughter does seem "over" mom behaving like a teenager and leaving her alone to take care of what 12 or so kids?
Yes, a mother of 14 dressed up to find a "decent" man leaving all her kids without an adult in the house. I don't know if this would even be legal in America.
@@albertafarmer8638 Agreed, yet what are the choices? All of them to foster care and mom doubling down on procreating? In the USA, it's a right to conceive and abort at will. In my mind, this "mom" is surely a selfish one. She gets more welfare for each child under her roof
@@gigi9301 Hi, we are going to pray for these poor kids and for this Age to come to an end. You can listen to Dr. Ron Rhodes on end times chronology if you are interested👋
I come from a community of large families and most of them live in small apartments. Older kids help a lot. Our kids do better than the average on state exams and the kids are happier than your average kids. Companionship and relationships are worth more than privacy😊
My great grandmother had 15 , her daughter ( my grandmother) had one! She was one of the older girls and my great grandmother got sick with all 15 pregnancies! So guess who got stuck with those babies? Back then ( 19th century) women couldn’t tell a husband , no and birth control was illegal!
They only thing i hate about seeing big families is that some parents use the older kids to look after the younger ones and the older ones never get a break or they never get any privacy especially if they have to share a room with more than 1 person even then they still have no privacy. Theirs a family where i live thats a family of 10 they would have been more but the mum miscarried 5 the dad told me he was in competition with his cousin who has 10 kids which is just stupid.
Okay, the single Momma is 40?!? I really thought she was 50! Life has been rough to her. Georgia has worked so hard, cleaning up after her Mom and Dad’s poor life choices. Bless her! I hope she has moved on from her mother’s chaos and is living her best life!
I'd say that's a 'smokers face' 20 or 40 a day.Not exhaustion as she appears not to raise them much, but cruelly expects the older ones to parent the younger ones.I think he left her not that she got rid of him.
@@keepitreal665definitely, I’m 48 and I’ve aged so much since starting up smoking again. But I think drugs may have been involved in her past. No judgement, just she has that look
Really admired how clean and orderly their homes were, Considering , But what stayed in my heart is the story of Leigh , his loving family he managed to make his testimony of his sad childhood into a happy family with 12 kids , very touching
We knew Roy Han when he was small, and lived in Aberdeenshire. His father has a big law firm now. They used to live on a farm in Balmedie called Eggie Farm, and the father - George Han, used to fix my Dad's car, so we went out there a few times. I remember they had chickens and a goat, and the goat got loose (probably due to us teasing it) it started eating all the strawberries. We had such fun with Nathan, Roy, Virginia and I think there was another one on the way, before George finished at University, and the family moved back down to Newcastle. It is good to see Roy again, as an adult. Hoping Julie and George are doing well, along with all their grown up children.
Absolutely, children are precious and if they are loved, respected, well looked after, and given the attention they deserve, that's all that matters. However, allowing your 15 year old child to go out with boys without understanding that she *will* get pregnant, is *dumb* , and *irresponsible* . Every child deserves the proper care and opportunities to grow and develop into an adult.
Lee is a great man. It’s terrible that family has to go through what they do. They’re not ask for anything or hurting anyone. Having this many kids was normal not that long ago. I hate when parents have children and make the older ones take care of them.
In the old days this is what happened. My gran told me her mother used to sit in a rocking. Chair and the oldest girls and. Boys did all the work she had 15 kids
Why do you guy keep bringing up people having a lot of kids back in the day? Back in the day you didn't have a choice and a lot of those kids didn't love into adulthood. There's no good reason to be having more than 3 kids now
I definitely think she is a good mum, I may not agree with her choices and her kids having babies young is a cycle that should be broken but that is their society aswell
She doesn't work outside the home!!!! So, yes her job is the house and kids. Lots of women have to work and try and care for all the res. Yet, she has the stupidity to get pregnant again. All the while her teenage daughter is caring for her young children.That girl has the stress of an adult because of her parents life choices..
As for being the most hated large family In Britain I'm British I live In Britain and I read the news and current affairs religiously...I and everyone I know have never heard of these famlies.
Wait, she didn’t make 14 kids alone!!! Here there’s a thing called CHILD SUPPORT and most things the state provides the family for free, he’s required to pay all or a portion back! What is it with Brits and letting deadbeat dad’s shirk any financial responsibility raising their kids just because of a split? It’s still both parents job and responsibility.
She needs to give her head a wobble what she want another child for when her eldest daughter has her hands full she should be going out with friends at her age not being mum to her siblings! Now mirah is following suit as a tax payer im not happy these women need to take charge of there own bodys & use the pill
Ain’t no damn way I’d let my husband leave and have me raising 14 kids alone. If I hated him, I’d still have him live in the guest room and play Dad during opposite hours lol. No way in hell I’m raising all those kids alone!
@@ChsM-jk4oy But I’m sure she’s on the dole and her oldest is doing a lot of the work the parents should be doing! THAT IS NEEDY! He can get a desk job AND MOVE IN AND PARENT!
Lee and his now wife are a lovely couple who work for their children and support them and each other, god bless them stay strong and safe you have a beautiful strong family ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
Having that many kids is irresponsible and selfish imo. My parents were baby hoarders, I'm one of 9 (they told us they had so many kids because they loved babies and when we grew older they had to replace us with another baby). My dad worked three jobs out of state to provide for us, we only saw him on the weekends so our mom was essentially a single mother. The older girls had to help raise the younger siblings, which put a lot of strain on us as we were children ourselves. My mom lived in survival mode, neither of our parents were consistently emotionally and physically present for us and even tho we had our basic needs provided, food, clothing and shelter, we didn't get our emotional/psychological needs met which scarred us for life. It's not possible to give that many children enough of your time and attention for them to develop into healthy functional adults, there's just no way that's possible, even with two involved parents. Having herds of children also puts a strain on the marriage/relationship, finances (even if you're wealthy), health etc. It goes against nature to raise children on an assembly line, it's not fair to them.
I was only one of three. But being the oldest and a female i was commandeered to get up early to make the snap tins (lunch), to iron the clothes, get everyones alarm going, our uncle lived with is and so i had five males & shorts galore to iron and my mother acting like a femme fatale doing nothing. I never had a childhood I was just a skivvy - i have apologised ever since for living and being alive. It affected me badly. On many ways. I pity Georgia. Peace ☮️ out 🇬🇧
I feel for the second family because of so much prejudice. Also the kids from the first family aren't to blame for their parents mistakes, especially Georgina that is growing up too soon. People should have some comun sense. I am Portuguese, we have more seniors than kids. I'm a teacher and don't tolerate that kind of bullying.
We are a family of 9 siblings, it was not easy growing up, and one of the problems is when the oldest children have to take care of the youngest siblings like their ones, and when the money was not enough to supply the basic needs.
The Jo lady is so irresponsible. Atleast all the other big families have responsible hardworking parents. She is a single mom, poor, have her kids being bullied, but all she’s hyper fixated on is having a man that’ll give her a 15th baby. Leaving the parenting to her young daughter.
She wasn't 'hyper-fixated' on her man! He treated her poorly, going to the papers! She felt betrayed! Also, she lost this baby and was grieving! Easy for u to look down on her, without knowing the full story, nor know her personally! How would u like to be judged by others?
I feel so sorry for Georgia , bless her 😢 The mother going out dressed as she did does not play her any favours … it sadly makes her look sort of cheap … also the way she’s sort of ‘desperately’ looking on the net for a new man to father her 15th child … 😢🤦♀️
How many more She needs ? Omg woman ! You has 14 children ,so be happy I cant have even 1 child Who will take responsibility for woman with 14 children ? Who will pay for this bunch ? Tax payers
I would be too tired and involved in surviving much less to think about dating and another man in my life. Shame on Jo for using her daughter for her own selfish desires.
I’m sorry but it should have been the other way around. I’m talking about Georgina staying at home and her mother going out looking for boyfriends.. I mean, u can tell that the mother is more interested in going out herself. She has a babysitter for free, why she shouldn’t do it? A real mother should say: U go out, I’m staying at home with the kids I PUT IN THIS WORLD.
It's interesting to see how perspectives change depending on how you grow up. The mother said she wanted a big family because she was an only child. My guess is her kids will want smaller families because they grew up having to share everything with lots of siblings.
God bless you all. Your Touching story of love, respect and harmony really tugged at my heart strings. I wish you all the best life has to offer. Love from a Blackburn girl who lives in Australia.
The only one I would make a comment to is the mother that said her new boyfriend got her pregnant, she knows how to prevent pregnancy and should have taken measures to prevent it until she is able to work a little, and I don't understand why neither one of them didn't use some sort of birth control, just not responsible for either adult.
Vacuum the main house daily, at least one load of laundry daily, Saturday was a whole house vacuum/bathrooms/sheets and blankets done by everyone. I don’t recall if we put it off on the days we were out of town or got up early to do it before we left. My brothers never helped in the kitchen.
Even if you're wealthy it isn't fair to children to have to compete with 10 other siblings to get their needs met. And being raised by nannies isn't healthy either.
Grew up poor in a big family. Never knew I was poor until I went off to college. I am far more thankful for my big family and poverty than I would be had ai been given a single sibling and a porsce at 16. Kids are good. Fiances shouldn't be a reason to not raise a family. Really, I can't think of a good reason not to have kids. They're amazing and as long as a parent is willing to provide, it doesn't have a certain income minimum, or lifestyle look.
I think it’s wonderful…good luck to these families..I lost two babies and would loved to have had more but it was too hard for me to go full term and heartbreaking to loose my baby girls..Australian
I believe people should definitely be permitted to have as many children as they are blessed to have. Having said that the mom going out dressed up while her teenage daughter babysits was a bit much😳. Give the young girl a chance .
My Surname is Watson, my son William died aged 27 suddenly, I had a stroke the next year, My husband Dennis gave up work to care for me, he passed in his sleep 18months later. I am here all alone, Look after each other, Ignore the bigots, they are like that because they are not happy in their own skin, DON'T let them chip away at yours.❤
I am very happily married and have 2 wonderful sons. We're the only living relatives in our sons lives, except for 2 grandparents, in their 80's , living in another Country. I lie awake, worrying that they may never marry, never have anyone to love them. That it'll just be the 2 of them, in this World, one day. One son is wheelchair dependent, with Rheumatoid Arthritis. They love each other, but the other deserves to have an Independent life, and not be his brother's carer. These children, who are part of big families , are blessed to have each other. They will never know loneliness. I wish these families well
I love seeing how my love exists within each household. My dad is from England, and his parents were from Scotland. My mother is African American. It was at some point in high school, when some of my cheerleading peers took note of how awkwardly I looked when I went in for a hug (we had to hug 2-3 football players each week during football season to drop off their good luck signs we designed). I was awkward because I really had not been used to any form of physical contact and affection from my family. And the same is true for other ways family extend their love toward one another. Now, my mother told me the family is the way it is because British people aren’t affectionate, don’t communicate, etc. And for a long time I really believed that. However, every time I see a British family in a documentary, I see unquestionable expressions of love, adoration, gratitude, and a longing to maintain closeness when children grow up and leave home. So I am not sure I really buy the idea of it being the norm that Brits are cold and distant. Can any Brits weigh in on this?
@7SevenStars7 Rest assured we are not cold, dismissive or uncaring, we might appear so at a first introduction, beyond that not so. I believe the older generation might be stand offish, it was how they were brought up. If a problem arises we deal with it, we don't have time for the drama😊
It's nothing to do with anyone else. Bless you all and love to you all. My Nan was 1 of 13 and my Grandad was. Both lost siblings. Your business, no-one else's❤ ❤❤
... So the husband asks for big family and when he gets the big family he so wanted, he bails out cos he can't deal with it anymore & she has to raise the kids alone.... Typical men😅 0:35
Seeing Emma cry and thank Lee when he asked her to marry him really pulled on my heartstrings. They’re obviously a very happy family but you could tell how much that meant to Emma. She definitely had been hoping to marry Lee and wasn’t sure if it would ever happen officially. I’m so glad they managed to have their special day and I hope they’re still going strong today.
Emma & Lee❤ Youve a lovely, polite & healthy family & you are both the reason for that. If you're reading this Lee, Emma & especially the kids....PLEASE IGNORE THE HATERS. Georgia is an absolute star🌟, what a great young lady.🎉 The other families are dont deserve any nastiness because the kids just dont deserve that. All the best to them allh
Outraged that the mother didn't educate & empower her daughter to not follow her example & allowed her 15 year old to become pregnant. The mother has set a very bad example & her daughter is just following suit. Talk about psychological abuse.
Agree that both parents have responsibility but the Mother's desire for babies is frankly pathological & I am aware that some men often have an ego issue about being seen as "potent" & producing a large number of children - suggesting a vasectomy is heresy to them. The daughter didn't stand a chance.
She decided to have all the kids, why is it up to the eldest girl to mother her own siblings? And the mother wants a 15th baby, so strange! The kids are kept healthy and clean and seem loved, so I credit her (mom) with that and the oldest daughter, of course!
Such lovely stories. Mother of 14 is one very brave mother. She deserves an Oscar for best mother. The other couole were the sweetest story of love, courage and devotion. For a runaway, he's done himself proud. I hope baby 13 will one day be reunited with his big beautiful family. Congratulations to single mum of 14, and the other parentsl for showing us the true meaning of family. 🎉
These parents all really love their kids and the children seem to be healthy and overall happy. There are no things more important in defining a good family than love and care. These kids get that. The parents are providing for the kids as best they can. They may not be in situations we would choose for ourselves. But our business should be on our own lives, not criticizing theirs. It seems the worst challenge these families face comes from outsiders judging them. It is grossly unfair to insult them and simply, not our place to do so.
Well said, exactly what I was going to comment. These parents provide for their children financially, mentally, emotionally, they love and care for every single child, the children are very well cared for in every way, they’re all very well behaved, intelligent, articulate, compassionate, empathetic, kind and well rounded. There are so many parents and children, from much smaller families where so many of these important aspects are missing completely. We should be praising the skills and achievements of the families shown here, not judging them at all. Their dedication and determination should be praised and acknowledged, not judging them on how many children they chose to have, that’s irrelevant and we have no right to judge others the way they are being judged by other members of society. Both the parents and their children are very much an asset to society. People need to get their own ‘house’ in order before criticising and judging others. ❤ Please forgive me for ranting about this but you’ve raised so many good points that people need to think about and I wanted to support what you’ve said. 👏
I think it's the mom that's behind the newspapers always talking about her and her family. How come in 39:46 they coincidentally call her when her daughter is about to give birth? She even told them that her daughter is getting induced. It's like she secretly craves the drama and attention.
Having a big family is definitely not easy, but on the other hand i feel like it could be lovely and cozy My father used to have a friend who has 10 brothers He said nobody could mess with them, imagine fighting 11 boys at the same time😂
Emma and Lee are lovely I was crying so much , such beautiful kids , as for Georgia I feel for her having to take care while her mum goes out to try find yet another boyfriend 🙄
Good lord that lady escaped a 'loud mouth' not the other way around. Newspaper Headlines like that are just unecessary. Why would you demean some innocent childs parent or mother? They looked well cared for
Bless these amazing families. I hope they can rise above all the nastiness as it says everything about those who criticise and the opposite about them. Each to their own. XXXXX
These families are truly blessed! They are right, having a large happy family is better than having a pile of disposable cash. Looking forward to seeing how their 12 or 14 children look after their parents once they are grown! I’ve experienced that a large family sharing and caring together will make the kids more likely to look after each other and their parents later in life than a family with few kids who get everything but grow up (spoilt) with disregard for their parents!
shes doing so good as a mother of 14 and she looks great too, the abuse she gets is mad, they’re all mad jealous of how gorgeous she is inside and out bc she turned out to be a better mother then any of them.
Abuse of these families is disgraceful. These children are loved, cared for and wanted. If only all children were treated as well.
Hmm yeah did you not see the face of her daughter when told she is in charge while she goes to find yet another boyfriend!!!!!
@@tinadeacon5721 thought the same! …I guess it was about the dress too. the daughter should enjoy her live and not beeing put on so many duties!
@cg9616 She was the one who got pregnant so she should bring her kids up, not expect the onlder children to do it.

Benefits are to help people out - the idea isn't to live off them. If she doesn't work, she is scrounging.
@@HelenBellen123 With that many young kids still not of school age she'd spend more getting someone else to care for them than she could possibly make in wages. Where's the sense in that??
Not to mention the Dad should be equally responsible for their cost whether he lives with them or not. Then you have to consider that he is the one who wanted the big family in the first place, and he's the one who cheated on benefits. Where is your outrage at him? Why isn't the focus on deadbeat Dad?
@@burnyizland I said the "parents" - that includes the Dad. And I mentioned what was said in the programme that "she" pays. She doesn't.
The sense in her working is so that she actually pays for them - same as for the dad. Why should they get away with doing nothing except breeding?
@@HelenBellen123 "True that all her kids are with one man. Benefits are to help people out - the idea isn't to live off them. If she doesn't work, she is scrounging." Exactly which one of those words of yours was 'parents'?
This narrative is disgusting. It starts off saying she's a prolific single parent on benefits. Then you realise she was married they had 14 kids. There's 2 parents yet she is the one being literally dragged..smh...
I know right! Couldn’t have said it better. The poor mother is doing her best, she doesn’t deserve that negativity and nonsense. I know parents of only two children and they can’t handle them and the kids suffer because of bad parenting. That lady has 14 and ALL her children look healthy, safe and happy and that’s all you can hope for as a parent.
@@SavannahVu1985 indeed... agree on people having 2 and struggling.. As for the mother of 14 kids, where's the ex husband in all of this. Why wasn't his lack of co- parenting raised as a issue...
Its always the same with 'big families' the woman always gets dragged and the man never gets mentioned !
@@katc899 I think that's for all size families. The moment a woman becomes single or separated with children, parent she's labeled, "single mother.. not a parent , coparent, ex wife or ex girlfriend ect.. I find the term single mother derogatory/degrading... Rarely is the term single father used... His just Dad or father...smh...
That is how the media portrays women. It's disgusting.
I'm the eldest of nine children. My heart goes out to the eldest daughter of all these children. We were/are the ones who had to help raise the kids. My father believed that the eldest daughter was responsible for all the other children's bad behavior. Therefore, at least in my case, I was beaten nightly. I hope these children are not being abused. I'm "75," now and I'm in constant pain, in part because of the abuse. I am sending love to all the children who are being or have been abused. May you all know that you will survive and you have the potential to create the life you want. My heart goes out to you.

I feel sorrier for the tax payers funding them
I feel for what you went through, my grandmother was in the same stch, she had a wicked step mother who move right in after her mum died giving birth to her sister.
At least, if you are the eldest in a large family or even only a child in a large family, you learn early on how to look after yourself and your siblings. I'm the eldest of 4. My brother and my 2 sisters and I all learned to cook and clean at an early age because my mother worked and so did my father.
Losing a baby is truly awful. And the betrayal of the father in the papers soon after was horrific.
Scum of the earth type, she’s a legend!
And, in that story, btw, it says this: "The pair got engaged after Craig jokingly dangled Joanne over a harbour wall until she said yes".
So HE chased her, and then ran to the papers after the break up. A suspicious mind might think he'd planned that out.
Yes! Losing a baby stays with some women more than others, which is fine, but I lost mine due to frickin' Endometriosis. This damned disease took my whole womanhood away from me 🥺😖😖😭😭
He's the worst type of man

Lee and Emma are parenting goals!! If you are gonna parent, this is how you do it!!! Love, support, structure, respect and guidance..Wonderful
Guess u missed the part where the son was asking repeatedly for new trainers and was told he would get them then told they had a wedding to pay for he would have to wait THEN managed to pay for a visit to london (most expensive place I've ever been) for the dad and older son so he could "clear up his past" trainers for a kid that age could be £30 easily tickets for 2 or petrol to London plus overnight stay costs a lot more than 30.... yeah great parenting
@@alexistracey1187I guess U didn’t see the smile on the boys face about his Mum and Dad get married! And U can be sure he really had to go to London, he would never have wasted money just for a nice trip.
@alexistracey1187 None of them walk to school barefooted. Kids always want something. A family with only one child and ample money doesn't always rush out and buy what they ask for. As for trainers at £30 He would likely be a laughing stock. Kids need to know that life isn't without problems, delays and compromise, and understanding their emotions and feelings and how to deal with them in an appropriate way. The world doesn't revolve around only him. Why shouldn't the kids do without luxuries for a little while.
Lee and Emma were on Wife Swap a few years before this show. Lee came across terrible, screaming at the producers and the new wife etc to the point where the new wife had to stay in a hotel and the swap was cut short. Although in fairness that show is edited to really intensify the drama lol, he did come across amazing in this though! The full episode should still be on TH-cam I only seen it recently, pretty sure I could find the link for it if anyone is interested! :)
You are delusional.
I’m the youngest of 10 and I love coming from a large family. My siblings are the best. Didn’t have a good father. But our Mom was the best you could ever have. I couldn’t have hand picked a better Mom. I’m so thankful that God let me one of her children .
This is the sweetest comment, aww bless you ❤️ sorry your relationship with your dad wasn't the best. At least you have a loving mother and siblings - sounds like a dream if you ask me. I wish I had lots of siblings like you. I have one half brother but have never met him.
Your mother was a blessing but she picked the wrong man as do most people. Having 10 kids by the wrong man isn’t a smart idea. I hope you make wiser decisions than your mom. I know that would make her proud of you.
Aw how lovely❤❤❤ I’m sorry about your dad , but your Mum obs did an amazing Job bringing you all up :) 😊
Your poor mother, cant imagine a worse, more meaningless life.
This has made me think. I really feel for all the children. No way should they be attacked, either verbal or physical, for being a member of a large family. I really felt for the single mum's eldest daughter, Georgia (I think her name was). When she said she felt like the child's mother, it broke me. Wishing all families the very best in 2024 and congratulations on the nuptials!
Emma and Lee are amazing parents and do everything for their kids. Lee treats each child like they are his own and they work hard to provide for their beautiful children. The wedding was very special and yes I cried when the daughter gave her speech. I feel sad that they felt pressure to get married and the way the kids were bullied by their peers is dusgusting behaviour. I wish each and everyone of them have a wonderful life surrounded by love and fun . Xx

I cried when the kids started crying about their parents getting married - Dillon touched my heart saying he understood why he couldn’t get new trainers because his parents were saving for wedding. Said a prayer for all of the families - God bless them.
…it really shows you what is important to children- a secure family unit ❤
They should have BEEN married not 6 kids later. It doesn’t take a man that long to know whether or not he wants to marry you. He knows that because he has 6 kids (the first 4 aren’t his) with her that even if he were to leave her he’d still be stuck because of child support. Plus a single man witj 6 kids isn’t necessarily desired by women unless he’s rich….which he is not. He’s stuck with that lady either way.
I'm the oldest of 10 kid's, growing up was the same ,people looked drow three noses at us, they said we where dirty and lived in dirty house,that was not the case,we had great meals,plenty of love ,clean clothes, had our own job's to do, but that was not the truth. We've all grown up now,all had job's got our own houses. So all I can say is you made me stronger than ever.
When i see so many families with self indulgent kids my heart beats so much harder when i seen a group like the Hamlin family. He might have had a hard start but i hope him and his now missus appreciate how much of a impact they are making in their kids lives. Any parent that can get tears out their kids like that are impressive.
It's not fair that Georgia is a carer for her mums 14 kids, is not her burden and shouldn't be put on her shoulders....the parents are selfish in that family
Yes, if Mum wants to go out Dad should come over and look after the kids. She's his daughter too and you bet at 14/15 he didn't want to be babysitting
Renting a wedding dress is highly underrated! I rented my dress 30 years ago and it was the best $300 I ever spent! If you can rent a tux, why not rent for the bride and bridesmaids? Saves BUCKETS and no one is left with something they will never wear again. Bravo!!!
I couldn't imagine spending huge money on a dress to wear once.
True
My wonderul dress was bought. Our girl and her friends, boys and girls , loved to play with that dress when she was about 7 /8 years. They played weddings, princess and prince, dancing events, their phantasie was endless. All their games have been 1000 times better than our wedding, although my darling husband and I are still in love. Good luck to brides and gromes.
All of the families seem really nice AND happy. I don’t know why anyone would look down on them?

The problem with big families is that the older children have to be parents to the little ones. It seems to be hard on them
I come from a community of large families and most of them live in small apartments. Older kids help a lot. Our kids do better than the average on state exams and the kids are happier than your average kids. Companionship and relationships are worth more than privacy😊
@@tamarfischer283keep telling yourself that

My great grandmother had 15 , her daughter ( my grandmother) had one! She was one of the older girls and my great grandmother got sick with all 15 pregnancies! So guess who got stuck with those babies? Back then ( 19th century) women couldn’t tell a husband , no and birth control was illegal!
They only thing i hate about seeing big families is that some parents use the older kids to look after the younger ones and the older ones never get a break or they never get any privacy especially if they have to share a room with more than 1 person even then they still have no privacy.

Really admired how clean and orderly their homes were, Considering , But what stayed in my heart is the story of Leigh , his loving family he managed to make his testimony of his sad childhood into a happy family with 12 kids , very touching
We knew Roy Han when he was small, and lived in Aberdeenshire. His father has a big law firm now. They used to live on a farm in Balmedie called Eggie Farm, and the father - George Han, used to fix my Dad's car, so we went out there a few times. I remember they had chickens and a goat, and the goat got loose (probably due to us teasing it) it started eating all the strawberries. We had such fun with Nathan, Roy, Virginia and I think there was another one on the way, before George finished at University, and the family moved back down to Newcastle. It is good to see Roy again, as an adult. Hoping Julie and George are doing well, along with all their grown up children.

@@CarolLeslie-x5n Yes - I meant Balmedie. Thank you
Absolutely, children are precious and if they are loved, respected, well looked after, and given the attention they deserve, that's all that matters. However, allowing your 15 year old child to go out with boys without understanding that she *will* get pregnant, is *dumb* , and *irresponsible* . Every child deserves the proper care and opportunities to grow and develop into an adult.
Maybe she trusted her daughter too much. .
Lee is a great man. It’s terrible that family has to go through what they do. They’re not ask for anything or hurting anyone. Having this many kids was normal not that long ago. I hate when parents have children and make the older ones take care of them.
In the old days this is what happened. My gran told me her mother used to sit in a rocking. Chair and the oldest girls and. Boys did all the work she had 15 kids
those are usually the ones who end up most responsible, most successful and the best parents :)
Why do you guy keep bringing up people having a lot of kids back in the day? Back in the day you didn't have a choice and a lot of those kids didn't love into adulthood. There's no good reason to be having more than 3 kids now
Her house looks clean and so do the kids so that’s a priority to her ,
I definitely think she is a good mum, I may not agree with her choices and her kids having babies young is a cycle that should be broken but that is their society aswell
She doesn't work outside the home!!!! So, yes her job is the house and kids. Lots of women have to work and try and care for all the res. Yet, she has the stupidity to get pregnant again. All the while her teenage daughter is caring for her young children.That girl has the stress of an adult because of her parents life choices..
She is a part-time mom am sure and has got the time to clean the place up
I am guessing children helping to keep clean

Well, the house is ommaculate, the children are immaculate, well fed, happy and well adjusted. People are quick to point fingers. Newspapers are sick
As for being the most hated large family In Britain I'm British I live In Britain and I read the news and current affairs religiously...I and everyone I know have never heard of these famlies.
Wait, she didn’t make 14 kids alone!!! Here there’s a thing called CHILD SUPPORT and most things the state provides the family for free, he’s required to pay all or a portion back! What is it with Brits and letting deadbeat dad’s shirk any financial responsibility raising their kids just because of a split? It’s still both parents job and responsibility.

First thing that i noticed was the clean tidy house. Continuing to watch....
I came from a family of 15 children with three sets of twins. My parents where never on any state benefits.
Okay.
Having that many kids is irresponsible and selfish imo. My parents were baby hoarders, I'm one of 9 (they told us they had so many kids because they loved babies and when we grew older they had to replace us with another baby). My dad worked three jobs out of state to provide for us, we only saw him on the weekends so our mom was essentially a single mother. The older girls had to help raise the younger siblings, which put a lot of strain on us as we were children ourselves. My mom lived in survival mode, neither of our parents were consistently emotionally and physically present for us and even tho we had our basic needs provided, food, clothing and shelter, we didn't get our emotional/psychological needs met which scarred us for life. It's not possible to give that many children enough of your time and attention for them to develop into healthy functional adults, there's just no way that's possible, even with two involved parents. Having herds of children also puts a strain on the marriage/relationship, finances (even if you're wealthy), health etc. It goes against nature to raise children on an assembly line, it's not fair to them.
I was only one of three. But being the oldest and a female i was commandeered to get up early to make the snap tins (lunch), to iron the clothes, get everyones alarm going, our uncle lived with is and so i had five males & shorts galore to iron and my mother acting like a femme fatale doing nothing. I never had a childhood I was just a skivvy - i have apologised ever since for living and being alive. It affected me badly. On many ways. I pity Georgia.
Peace ☮️ out 🇬🇧
I feel for the second family because of so much prejudice. Also the kids from the first family aren't to blame for their parents mistakes, especially Georgina that is growing up too soon.

We are a family of 9 siblings, it was not easy growing up, and one of the problems is when the oldest children have to take care of the youngest siblings like their ones, and when the money was not enough to supply the basic needs.
The Jo lady is so irresponsible. Atleast all the other big families have responsible hardworking parents. She is a single mom, poor, have her kids being bullied, but all she’s hyper fixated on is having a man that’ll give her a 15th baby. Leaving the parenting to her young daughter.

This is true, however, I did feel sad watching how she was grieving her miscarried little one.

I would be too tired and involved in surviving much less to think about dating and another man in my life. Shame on Jo for using her daughter for her own selfish desires.
I’m sorry but it should have been the other way around. I’m talking about Georgina staying at home and her mother going out looking for boyfriends.. I mean, u can tell that the mother is more interested in going out herself. She has a babysitter for free, why she shouldn’t do it? A real mother should say: U go out, I’m staying at home with the kids I PUT IN THIS WORLD.
It's interesting to see how perspectives change depending on how you grow up. The mother said she wanted a big family because she was an only child. My guess is her kids will want smaller families because they grew up having to share everything with lots of siblings.
I’m an only child and always wanted a big family (nowhere near 14!!) but life turned out very differently
God bless you all. Your Touching story of love, respect and harmony really tugged at my heart strings. I wish you all the best life has to offer. Love from a Blackburn girl who lives in Australia.
The only one I would make a comment to is the mother that said her new boyfriend got her pregnant, she knows how to prevent pregnancy and should have taken measures to prevent it until she is able to work a little, and I don't understand why neither one of them didn't use some sort of birth control, just not responsible for either adult.
Were u there? They may have used a birth control, but it failed!? Besides, it's none of our business! You be responsible for urself!
How can any of these poor kids get individualised time and attention from either parent. Very irresponsible to produce 14 kids in this day and age.
Georgia is a wonderful big sister. Bless her.
She doesn’t deserve to be a second mum, it isn’t fair
She’s got gorgeous eyes. These families are amazing. Look at their love and how they keep their houses so nice and tidy. These are lucky children
Can't believe how clean her house is with so many kid's and they are so happy
Vacuum the main house daily, at least one load of laundry daily, Saturday was a whole house vacuum/bathrooms/sheets and blankets done by everyone. I don’t recall if we put it off on the days we were out of town or got up early to do it before we left. My brothers never helped in the kitchen.
It is financially irresponsible to have such a large family.
I don’t understand why the families are being criticized by others. The children are loved and extremely well behaved.

@@BunnyPajamas her mother is nothing but selfish
I have to agree. In that situation, she still wants more children. We all want things we can’t afford. Most of us just do without.
If you cant afford a big family, don't have one. If you can afford a big family, then fine. It is that simple.
Even if you're wealthy it isn't fair to children to have to compete with 10 other siblings to get their needs met. And being raised by nannies isn't healthy either.
So you seem to believe that circumstances never change. Sad how stupid you are. Good luck to you.
Grew up poor in a big family. Never knew I was poor until I went off to college. I am far more thankful for my big family and poverty than I would be had ai been given a single sibling and a porsce at 16.
Kids are good. Fiances shouldn't be a reason to not raise a family. Really, I can't think of a good reason not to have kids. They're amazing and as long as a parent is willing to provide, it doesn't have a certain income minimum, or lifestyle look.

I lie awake, worrying that they may never marry, never have anyone to love them. That it'll just be the 2 of them, in this World, one day. One son is wheelchair dependent, with Rheumatoid Arthritis. They love each other, but the other deserves to have an Independent life, and not be his brother's carer. These children, who are part of big families , are blessed to have each other. They will never know loneliness. I wish these families well
@jenniferwatson7769 I'm so sorry for your indescribable loss and heartache. You're in my thoughts.
@@jacqueline8559Thank you so much for your kind words. I hope life is just as kind for your boys.❤❤
It is not a 15 year olds job to raise their siblings. You had them, you raise them!
I love seeing how my love exists within each household. My dad is from England, and his parents were from Scotland. My mother is African American. It was at some point in high school, when some of my cheerleading peers took note of how awkwardly I looked when I went in for a hug (we had to hug 2-3 football players each week during football season to drop off their good luck signs we designed). I was awkward because I really had not been used to any form of physical contact and affection from my family. And the same is true for other ways family extend their love toward one another. Now, my mother told me the family is the way it is because British people aren’t affectionate, don’t communicate, etc. And for a long time I really believed that. However, every time I see a British family in a documentary, I see unquestionable expressions of love, adoration, gratitude, and a longing to maintain closeness when children grow up and leave home. So I am not sure I really buy the idea of it being the norm that Brits are cold and distant. Can any Brits weigh in on this?

Rest assured we are not cold, dismissive or uncaring, we might appear so at a first introduction, beyond that not so. I believe the older generation might be stand offish, it was how they were brought up. If a problem arises we deal with it, we don't have time for the drama😊
It's nothing to do with anyone else.
Bless you all and love to you all.
My Nan was 1 of 13 and my Grandad was. Both lost siblings.
Your business, no-one else's❤ ❤❤
Its sad that big families are treated so horribly.
... So the husband asks for big family and when he gets the big family he so wanted, he bails out cos he can't deal with it anymore & she has to raise the kids alone.... Typical men😅 0:35
Seeing Emma cry and thank Lee when he asked her to marry him really pulled on my heartstrings. They’re obviously a very happy family but you could tell how much that meant to Emma. She definitely had been hoping to marry Lee and wasn’t sure if it would ever happen officially. I’m so glad they managed to have their special day and I hope they’re still going strong today.
I would have loved to have had lots of children. All these families are beautiful. ❤
Emma & Lee❤
Youve a lovely, polite & healthy family & you are both the reason for that. If you're reading this Lee, Emma & especially the kids....PLEASE IGNORE THE HATERS. Georgia is an absolute star🌟, what a great young lady.🎉
The other families are dont deserve any nastiness because the kids just dont deserve that.
All the best to them allh
This has quickly become my favorite TH-cam channel. Seeing how brits live is intriguing to say the least.
We don't all live like this!
I love Emma and Lee. Their children are beautiful soul's, theyve clearly been brought up very well.
Outraged that the mother didn't educate & empower her daughter to not follow her example & allowed her 15 year old to become pregnant. The mother has set a very bad example & her daughter is just following suit. Talk about psychological abuse.
This is the fault of both parents. That 15 year old needs guidance and support. That responsibility is on both parents
Agree that both parents have responsibility but the Mother's desire for babies is frankly pathological & I am aware that some men often have an ego issue about being seen as "potent" & producing a large number of children - suggesting a vasectomy is heresy to them. The daughter didn't stand a chance.
Jo, as long as your kids are happy, fed and emotionally fulfilled, you have done a great job... Please don't let these people get under your skin x
All of them well fed, well dressed and schooled. Good on her
All of the kids in this show are absolutely amazing. The compassion they show! Mitch crying over his dads childhood broke me:(
She decided to have all the kids, why is it up to the eldest girl to mother her own siblings? And the mother wants a 15th baby, so strange!
The kids are kept healthy and clean and seem loved, so I credit her (mom) with that and the oldest daughter, of course!
Such lovely stories. Mother of 14 is one very brave mother. She deserves an Oscar for best mother. The other couole were the sweetest story of love, courage and devotion. For a runaway, he's done himself proud. I hope baby 13 will one day be reunited with his big beautiful family. Congratulations to single mum of 14, and the other parentsl for showing us the true meaning of family. 🎉
An Oscar is for acting. That mom was NOT acting. bite your tongue.

These parents all really love their kids and the children seem to be healthy and overall happy. There are no things more important in defining a good family than love and care. These kids get that.
The parents are providing for the kids as best they can. They may not be in situations we would choose for ourselves. But our business should be on our own lives, not criticizing theirs.
It seems the worst challenge these families face comes from outsiders judging them. It is grossly unfair to insult them and simply, not our place to do so.
Couldn’t agree more t
Well said, exactly what I was going to comment. These parents provide for their children financially, mentally, emotionally, they love and care for every single child, the children are very well cared for in every way, they’re all very well behaved, intelligent, articulate, compassionate, empathetic, kind and well rounded. There are so many parents and children, from much smaller families where so many of these important aspects are missing completely. We should be praising the skills and achievements of the families shown here, not judging them at all. Their dedication and determination should be praised and acknowledged, not judging them on how many children they chose to have, that’s irrelevant and we have no right to judge others the way they are being judged by other members of society. Both the parents and their children are very much an asset to society. People need to get their own ‘house’ in order before criticising and judging others. ❤ Please forgive me for ranting about this but you’ve raised so many good points that people need to think about and I wanted to support what you’ve said. 👏

Well said, I couldn't agree more!
I think it's the mom that's behind the newspapers always talking about her and her family. How come in 39:46 they coincidentally call her when her daughter is about to give birth? She even told them that her daughter is getting induced. It's like she secretly craves the drama and attention.
What a lovely sweet family - there are many big families, why are these nice people being picked on - God Bless them All - cheers from Canada 🇨🇦
thanks georgia for helping mum i think you are doing an amazing job😘
The Watson’s ….such a gorgeous family and she’s doing a great job especially as a single parent.
Having a big family is definitely not easy, but on the other hand i feel like it could be lovely and cozy
My father used to have a friend who has 10 brothers
He said nobody could mess with them, imagine fighting 11 boys at the same time😂
Emma and Lee are lovely I was crying so much , such beautiful kids , as for Georgia I feel for her having to take care while her mum goes out to try find yet another boyfriend 🙄
Good lord that lady escaped a 'loud mouth' not the other way around. Newspaper Headlines like that are just unecessary. Why would you demean some innocent childs parent or mother? They looked well cared for
Bless these amazing families. I hope they can rise above all the nastiness as it says everything about those who criticise and the opposite about them. Each to their own. XXXXX
These families are truly blessed! They are right, having a large happy family is better than having a pile of disposable cash. Looking forward to seeing how their 12 or 14 children look after their parents once they are grown! I’ve experienced that a large family sharing and caring together will make the kids more likely to look after each other and their parents later in life than a family with few kids who get everything but grow up (spoilt) with disregard for their parents!
shes doing so good as a mother of 14 and she looks great too, the abuse she gets is mad, they’re all mad jealous of how gorgeous she is inside and out bc she turned out to be a better mother then any of them.
