To abc def: I don't suppose that many Mexicans read a Bible. Most of them are Roman Catholics, and the Roman Catholic "church" discourages its members from reading Scripture in their own language. That is why they used the Latin Vulgate for hundreds of years, and had services in Latin. They used to kill people who translated the Bible into modern languages, e.g. William Tyndale. Until this year, there was no perfect Biblia available en español, and just about everybody used a corrupt version, the Reina-Valera 1909 or 1960, which calls Jesus the pope (!) (el pontifice) in Hebrews. Now, there is a Purified 1602 Valera. (The correct title for Jesus in Hebrews is "the high priest", el sumo sacerdote.)
Wow..is incredible all the nonsense someone can write about a person's life and believes but simply reading a comment written about a video. Get a life or something.
@@AdrianaARetif thank you I was about to go off on him but you said it better than I could he's all methed up or maybe bath salts that really makes a person paranoid
I agree because in 19 kids and counting the kids are everywhere becuhhs the duggar are homeschooled and they are bored. #2 this family is way much quiet because they go to public school
What a beautiful family. They are not on public assistance. They pay for their own things. They have a business. National health care helps. I am awed by these great parents.
Pregnant women get treated as if they are very special, so the mother seems to enjoy the special treatment she gets from society, while her kids have to share her with 20 siblings.... Very selfish mum. Seriously sit down and think how little personal time you would share with your mum if you had 20 siblings.
I am not really a children person, but let's look at the situation objectively for a minute, shall we? 1) A hard-working man running his own business (not relying on welfare like many in a much less demanding life situation would); successfully supporting a huge family (even managing to support his almost adult daughter who is ambitious enough to study) 2) It is apparent that the children are well taken care of (both emotionally and materially) and they have a happy childhood 3) The Children are not spoilt rotten and are brought up well enough to know that they have a financial limit on the gifts , which is rarely seen nowadays Ergo: Hats off to this lovely, brave couple!
Yeah let's look at it objectively ... 85 grand a year in child benefits. How much you think that bloke's business makes a year? Their choice, but we're still paying for it.
+A Girl And her Glock if you watch the full series you will realise they don't abide by gender roles as you have implied. They all do an equal amount of work most of the time but it just so happens that most of the girls are younger than the boys and obviously as teenagers the older ones are given a bit more time to themselves to complete homework and to be teenagers.
The thing that stands out the most to me with this family is how close they are. I can see how much the parents love and cherish their kids. When the kids move out and can’t wait to come home again, that speaks volumes. The kids seem to be well behaved as well.
I thought this might have been like that Dugger family with 19 kids and counting, but this family actually seems really nice and normal. I don't think having that many kids should be encouraged, but do they look to be well taken care of.
The mom looks so young, and the kids all seem really healthy and well adjusted. The dad is at home, involved with the kids, hard working, and no one is on benefits. Good on them! For all the haters, I know crappy moms with one or two kids, and amazing moms with 10 or more kids. It comes down more to personality than anything. I'm perfectly happy with my one adopted child, and I don't judge anyone else for their family choices.
I find it incredible, not just the fact they have to look after so many kids. But the fact that they've managed to produce 16 healthy children! With no problems at all! That's what you call extreme luck!
It's nice to see the parents of this extra large family letting their children make their own decisions about their future. Think the Duggers could learn a thing or two!
+SuperAnnieOakley The boys seem to be able to make their own decisions. But when one of the girls considers going to New York for design, the parents "don't think that would be appropriate."
+C C Totally agree. I don't understand this second standard treatment of their children. I would hope they'd want All of their children to become successful adults. In my opinion, their daughters aren't successful unless they're married with lots of children. Don't get me wrong, there's nothing wrong with being a stay home mom, if that's what You choose for yourself! The Duggar girls aren't raised that way and it's a a shame.
Yeah? Mom to college bound daughter: you don't need to study on holiday so I'm ordering you home. There's a deeper issue with that mom. She's gonna have a meltdown when her reproductive organs give out. This is her identity: the perfect pregnant mom. I'm sure they're all loving & nice but I don't think it's healthy. Those parents can't possibly give each child the attention he/she deserves. It's left to the older siblings unconsciously by default.
I haven't yet finished the video but I can't help but adore this family. The bond they share is beautiful and reminds me of my husband, babies, and our little family. That is a bond that money can't buy.
we have been trying so hard for a baby 😭. we lost our first last year and now I am pregnant again almost 8 months. I get plagued by nightmares that I might loose this baby, it's so hard to relax. I'm hoping so hard this baby girl gets here safe and sound in November.
***** yeah normal children tantrums. And if they were misbehaved or used uneducated, foul language, there would be no way to avoid it really. Thy are children, some very little, they could not fake it. Thank the skies there are actually good families the Media want to show... Because they only get audiences with the bad ones.
juice いあなた i dont think that is religion only that make kids kind, happy and behaved. And especially a speciphic religion like you mentioned. I know of some families that are extremelly nice, the kids are very happy, educated and polite. One of these families is buddhist. The other one just believes in the power of nature. So i think the teachings coming from the parents, their examples to follow, and a lot of nurturing are the main thing. =) Cheers!
i just watched another interview of this family. They had another baby after this documentary so 17 kids now. And this big family does not live on government benefits,said the father. He works really hard for his family. It is nice to see how the kids take care of each other and behave that well. They have been educated even better than some of the smaller families. And the mother had the first boy at 14!
+tinyfan100 They're incredibly selfish. They can't possibly take proper care of all those kids, which means part of the burden falls on the older kids which isn't fair
+Nancy Parks They would be if it wasn't for the show, when the show started they where living in a tiny cramped house. Also, they defended their son who molested their daughters, not exactly a healthy household
+Rachel Santana They didn't defend him, they handled it the best they knew how, should they have done more? Sure, but they didn't ignore it. As far as supporting their own kids, Jimbob was in real estate and has quite a few industrial rentals which enabled him not to have to work a 9 to 5 job, they aren't a family that cares about the latest gadgets or named brand stuff and they were working on moving out of the small house before TLC came along.
So what, none of the older boys help with the cooking, cleaning or baby care? Why is it falling to the 12 year old when there are clearly older boys in the house?
I grew up in the same kind of family and it is not that it beneath them it is just a womens job, and not that of boys. But yes, if they are christian then women are below men
I couldn't sleep & stumbled upon this video. While I find that many kids overwhelming, I'm not the one raising them. They appear to be a loving family & there looks to be much laughter & closeness. I do wonder why not adopt, if they have such a strong desire for a large family? That's a lot of stress on a nearly 40 yr old woman's body. Why not adopt the rest?
Yeah, like I want to say something, but really it's just a good thing. 17+ kids with loving and actively involved parents. You can't really say anything bad about them :)
+cayesh1234 precisely. and that is the problem with this in the first place. theres no way these kids get enough attention from their parents which is so important. thats why their dumb daughters grow up knowing nothing but how to make babies. its gross. these people dont even care about the negative effects of this lifestyle. greedy greedy greedy.
I have to admit, that just by hearing about a family with 17 kids, I was prejudiced and jumped to the conclusion that they must be some social case fanatic christian family, but in the documentary, their situation seems to work for them and they seem like reasonable people taking good care of every child, the kids also look like regular smart little kids. their home looks like a very warm environment filled with love. I still think its extraordinary that it is possible, but it just shows you not to be too quick to judge. Also extraordinary that the parents enjoy having that many kids both the same. They`re a great team.
I could not do this! she deserves a medal. what a lovely family they all are she is a lovely mam I bet all her kids have lovely memories when they grow up
It's so nice to see how much they all love each other. You can tell the kids are all really close. You can tell the parents have done something right that the older children aren't jumping at the chance to get out of the house.
+LongArmFossils Because sexism exists even in non conservative families, my guess is the older boys help out outside. I know with the Duggars, the younger boys have house hold chores like collecting laundry and cleaning bathroom floors, when they're older they do yard work and learn how to repair all those used vehicles.
the are obsessed in having Babies, try to enjoy and give your baby the attention it needs Before constantly getting new ones, i dont think this is normal.
Believe it or not but having large families was very common over forty years ago. Children are a blessing but it's impora to be able to be able to give them all the proper love and care. My dads mom had a family of 17 kids. My dad had six in his family. If I could I would like at least four but I know my limits lol.
I know how it was in older days but the BIG difference is that nowadays we can decide and control how many kids we get. I dont think its normal to want to have 17 kids today, more like an obsession with the mom, wanting to constantly be pregnant. Its selfish of her constantly getting new ones instead of focusing in giving the ones she already have the attention and love all kids need. Someway in her chaos of kids she misses out every kids personality and need to thrive and develop as individuals. Its really not fair either to constantly let the older ones parenting the babies just because she needs to be constantly pregnant!! End of.
I agree it's not she hasn't thought if the eldest who's shoulders it falls on to looks after the youngest ones while she's pregnant all the time, what childhood have they had, and what are they trying to prove? You can keep having children why? Makes no sense to me
I'm oldest of 8 it is a blessing having a lot of siblings one never feels lonely. Some people can handle it and others can't . Doesn't make her crazy. Plus being oldest and watching after my siblings has prepared me well for when I had my first child.
+Weasel 23367 It usually doesn't work that way. I am one of 10 children, and I cannot tell you how sick I became of everyone saying to me ," Oh, and I bet you want a huge family too!" Um..no. I knew I wanted a small family-I was virtually raised by my older siblings, and I had to raise my younger siblings (I was right in the middle). I desperately needed more attention from my parents. Even with all those people around, I was horribly lonely my entire childhood. I don't know about this family, how they interact and spend time individually with their children, but I really think parental involvement is critical for a child to grow up emotionally strong and with good self-esteem.
That's so beautiful, and all the kids are so friendly and behaved, you can feel the love and support they've got for each other, super example for those who can't even raise two loving and caring siblings...
Why are people hating on this family?! They don't take help from the government. They are not brainwashing these kids with some cult like crap. As far as I can see those kids look happy and loved. If they want to have 50 kids God bless 'em. They love children, it brings them joy who are we to judge?!
For the people saying "why not adopt" no adoption agency in the whole of Britain would approve them, for the simple reason they're a big family! I got turned down for adoption because I don't drive (my husband does) like that makes you a good parent! They're both adopted themselves so it's not like they're unaware of poor childrens situations!They are both loving parents and have raised a family to be proud of! All you haters need to get a grip! They've done nothing wrong and deserve to be applauded!
Dani Davies I agree with you. Requirements for adoption are crazy. Both parents under the age of 40, no kids before, perfect health (in my country)... Like as if asthma or a potential sibling are somehow an issue.
I agree. So many kids that could be in wonderful homes are denied that because of trivial things that have zero affect on whether a person is a good parent or not.
Amen. You do not have to give up your dreams to fill all the needs of the world. Adoption is always nice, but no one needs to be forced to do it, while not being allowed to have their own children. I hate that argument.
Dani Davies it absolutely amazes me that it’s SO hard to adopt. Yet, you see the most god awful people popping out kids left and right that literally could careless about their kids. They don’t have homes, cars, money or they’re addicts. It blows my mind!
I think having so many children makes it difficult to the parents to get to know each one and have time for them individually. Anyway, wish them all the best☺
I think what bothers me about large families, is the older children end of taking care of the younger children. I don't think its fair. I think if you have a child its your responsibilty as a parent to take care of your children, not pass it to your older kids. And this family has so many boys and they aren't pulling their weight, its the girls. We are in the 21st century.
Engelse Wit also love how you generalized all only children. Not all only children are self absorbed spoiled brats. I am an only child myself and though I am spoiled, I appreciate what I receive and I am responsible.
Genetics. No woman in my family has stretch marks after pregnancies. Not every woman gets them. Guess we are lucky, but then you can always find other things to complain about. lol
I'm wondering. Their house is big and looks fairly nice inside, all the children have modern and neat clothes, they can buy christmas presents for £3000 and the mother is a stay-at-home mom. How are they able to afford all of this? Is there so much financial support for families in Great Britain?
Well chances are they probably get a ton of money from publicity and fame. Like this documentary. Every comment and like and view give them more money. As do every time they appear in magazines, tv shows, news reports, etc.
though in Britain now you only get benefits for one child, this is because so many people are trying to have as many children as they can for the money
When you have well behaved kids its easy and don't all older siblings in any family help out with little brothers and sisters?It teaches responsibility and life skills. Nothing wrong with it unless they are missing out on their childhood because of it. this family is not lacking anything by the looks of it.
My Dad grew up in a family that had 7 surviving kids, including him. (One died young.) It worked very well. He was born in 1916, and the two eldest, girls born in 1900 and 1901, helped a lot with the young ones. I knew all of them, and they all got on well.
I love how loving and close this family is and I read how they don't claim benefits and sponge of society moaning like they've been badly done to hats of to them and much ❤️ to them ❤️
I think their family is ALOT better then the Duggars. This home feels more loved and warm and happy fuzzy feeling. They have a beautiful family. I am so sry to hear about her miscarriage. But i see she is a strong woman and family support, to help her thru the hard times.
It's frustrating seeing people living selfishly in their own bubble with absolute disregard to how overpopulated we are and how limited our resources are. If you can afford to raise 10, 15 children, ADOPT!!!!!!!! It's heart wrenching to know so many children are out there all alone with no parents to love and care for them!
Xendre Raine These people so attention seekers and will do anything to come in a news somehow ..adopting 3-4 kids would be great but No these fuckers gotta prove something to someone so popping out kids one after another
Chloe’s the oldest currently living with them but I know there was a 14 year old boy, I found it weird when they said ‘since Chloe’s left the two older daughters have taken to helping make dinner.’ Like um what about the 14 y/o?

+Iftakhar Haider not if the black family takes care and look out for each other and not just breed, do drugs and be a criminal and milking the system..
my son is number 5 but this is my second marriage so there are 16 years between the youngest of the older kids and him and he is constantly asking for a siblings, even volunteering me to babysit for strangers. I think it's wonderful that they will always have a brother a sister and best friend for life
there's a point where you have to say enough is enough and that is enough. they're aving kids while they're oldest daughter is having kids that shit is weird.
I am in awe. I’m pregnant with my 3rd and we are done done. I can’t even imagine such a full house all the time- or how to afford it: physically, monetarily, or emotionally.
Just because people have babies they can't take care of why should that mean I can't have my own kids if I can take care of them. I don't like when people say you shouldn't have your own you should adopt because there's lots of unwanted kids, if I want adopt that's my choice and if I want to experience pregnancy and have a biological child that's my choice too.
Gong! Children in a government school are raised in a very unnatural setting. It is contrary to the real world. The only place and time in our entire lives in which we are forced to be with numerous people our own immature age, or taught with artificially canned curriculum, is in schools such as that. Which is why graduates of these places have such a difficult time adjusting to the real adult world. Think, you only find home-schooling uncomfortable because you have been exposed to the government's artificial style for so long. In a historical perspective, it is government schooling that is the odd institution, not home-schooling.

He works really hard for his family. It is nice to see how the kids take care of each other and behave that well. They have been educated even better than some of the smaller families. And the mother had the first boy at 14!
Do they get money for doing interviews or documentaries? I wish they do
The Duggars or Bates have never asked for government assistance either.
+tinyfan100 They're incredibly selfish. They can't possibly take proper care of all those kids, which means part of the burden falls on the older kids which isn't fair
+Nancy Parks They would be if it wasn't for the show, when the show started they where living in a tiny cramped house. Also, they defended their son who molested their daughters, not exactly a healthy household
+Rachel Santana They didn't defend him, they handled it the best they knew how, should they have done more? Sure, but they didn't ignore it.
As far as supporting their own kids, Jimbob was in real estate and has quite a few industrial rentals which enabled him not to have to work a 9 to 5 job, they aren't a family that cares about the latest gadgets or named brand stuff and they were working on moving out of the small house before TLC came along.
If her kids all have 17 👶 she will have 289 grandchildren 😂😂😂
I know right?!
Ellen melon4eva how come
Kleiven: 17x17=289
Ellen melon4eva loool
They have 16
Th house look like a castle. Wow! What a lovely family fill with so much loving. The husband must have a really good job.
they own a bakery
+Danielle Blake it better be Greg's the amount they spend
So what, none of the older boys help with the cooking, cleaning or baby care? Why is it falling to the 12 year old when there are clearly older boys in the house?
If they're anything like the Duggars, men aren't allowed to cook and clean. That's beneath them. Cooking and cleaning is for women.
feminists, BE GONE
I grew up in the same kind of family and it is not that it beneath them it is just a womens job, and not that of boys. But yes, if they are christian then women are below men
+Leni Mikaelson fuck you, sometimes gender doesn't mean they have to do certain jobs
+Scarlet Wingate woah. She wasn't saying that's what she believes.
I've got two and pregnant again. My family told me, "you've got a lot of kids!"
Then, I saw this......
She has no stretchmarks. How.
ikr
She's done this 16 times she's probably mastered how to prevent strechmarks.
I don't have any kids and I have stretch marks :( Im only 22
I_Only_Laugh_When_Im_In_Deep_Trouble like ur name
I_Only_Laugh_When_Im_In_Deep_Trouble it's ok. I have stretch marks from idk where and I'm only 12
I couldn't sleep & stumbled upon this video. While I find that many kids overwhelming, I'm not the one raising them. They appear to be a loving family & there looks to be much laughter & closeness. I do wonder why not adopt, if they have such a strong desire for a large family? That's a lot of stress on a nearly 40 yr old woman's body. Why not adopt the rest?
Yeah, like I want to say something, but really it's just a good thing. 17+ kids with loving and actively involved parents. You can't really say anything bad about them :)
I don't think they would fit the criteria for adoption. Too many children, too little attention.
+cayesh1234 precisely. and that is the problem with this in the first place. theres no way these kids get enough attention from their parents which is so important. thats why their dumb daughters grow up knowing nothing but how to make babies. its gross. these people dont even care about the negative effects of this lifestyle. greedy greedy greedy.
Its absurd not to mention physically draining
I have to admit, that just by hearing about a family with 17 kids, I was prejudiced and jumped to the conclusion that they must be some social case fanatic christian family, but in the documentary, their situation seems to work for them and they seem like reasonable people taking good care of every child, the kids also look like regular smart little kids. their home looks like a very warm environment filled with love. I still think its extraordinary that it is possible, but it just shows you not to be too quick to judge. Also extraordinary that the parents enjoy having that many kids both the same. They`re a great team.
Muslim so-called refugees(mostly adult men) are what drain the social services of Britain.
'Fanatic Christian Family'? That was still quick to judge. There's nothing fanatical about Christianity.
They do seem like happy well adjusted kids. All I can say is that it probably helps that they are still quite young.
I would love to know how they afford this! Genuinely in awe!
I know! I barely have enough to support my dog and I XD
+Pentatonix and Superfruit Trash lol
they're always at home as well
They have their own bakery business and online shop
by welfare which is from taxpayer's money so i guess entire uk has part in supporting this family.
Why is there so much hate?!?! They are a special family,so accept it! If u don't like the idea of that much kids than why'd u click the video?!😳
So true😕
I could not do this! she deserves a medal. what a lovely family they all are she is a lovely mam I bet all her kids have lovely memories when they grow up
can we all talk about the change of hair colors
I noticed that as well! I think Chloe looks better as a blonde , what a sweet girl, I genuinely liked her.
She looks so beautiful.
true true omg it made me so confused
These are some awesome parents
+Kari Vanderlip lmao each one must've cost something that trip was like 20k
*****
The Elena,m
cook
they are amazing :)
I was about to judge them (parents) but later realized that they love their children and no one should question them in their judgement.
It's so nice to see how much they all love each other. You can tell the kids are all really close. You can tell the parents have done something right that the older children aren't jumping at the chance to get out of the house.
I judged at first, but you know what, these kids are loved and well-raised!
Same here, but as you say, the kids are all loved for themselves and they don't rely on the state to bring them up! Lovely to watch :)
This family seems so full of sincere love. That's beautiful.
These people actually seem normal unlike the overly religous people on the American show 19 kids and counting.
+Kaitlyn Marie There's nothing wrong with religious people.
***** what difference does it make? If they are overly religious how does that affect her?
+Cookie lover she didn't say it affected her but what i believe she is trying to say this looks like a more average day in the life for a big family
The duggars are such hypocrites
+LongArmFossils Because sexism exists even in non conservative families, my guess is the older boys help out outside. I know with the Duggars, the younger boys have house hold chores like collecting laundry and cleaning bathroom floors, when they're older they do yard work and learn how to repair all those used vehicles.
I just looked them up, they've had two more little girls: Hallie & Phoebe.
thanks I was just wondering that!
That's a really good name
They've 19 now??
and they want one more for a even 20
they want 20
How do the parents remember all their birthdays?!?
marni-the sast-up-unicorn right?
marni-the sast-up-unicorn probably have a huge list that they check every day 😂. Like their name, age, birthday and other things like that etc.
They probably have an excel file to remember.
The calendar app
Mama remembered all eight of us growing up AND her fifteen grandchildren when we left home God rest her lovely soul. You just DO.
"Once I get to forty, then that'll be it"
Forty years or forty babies?
They meant years
@@amybess (it be a joke 😛)
Interesting to see such a huge family that isn't doing it for religious reasons like the Bates or Duggers
Is dat jimin
+Jibooty Is life sure is 😊
At least the Bates have a loving family like this one though

Johana La True
THE BABY APRIL IS SOOOO CUTE SHE HAS REALLY PRETTY EYES AND A CUTE LITTLE NOSE JUST SO ADORABLE LIKE IF U AGREE!
They have a lot of kids but I think they're well organised and give every kid attantion.
Attention*
the are obsessed in having Babies, try to enjoy and give your baby the attention it needs Before constantly getting new ones, i dont think this is normal.
Believe it or not but having large families was very common over forty years ago. Children are a blessing but it's impora to be able to be able to give them all the proper love and care. My dads mom had a family of 17 kids. My dad had six in his family. If I could I would like at least four but I know my limits lol.
I know how it was in older days but the BIG difference is that nowadays we can decide and control how many kids we get. I dont think its normal to want to have 17 kids today, more like an obsession with the mom, wanting to constantly be pregnant. Its selfish of her constantly getting new ones instead of focusing in giving the ones she already have the attention and love all kids need. Someway in her chaos of kids she misses out every kids personality and need to thrive and develop as individuals. Its really not fair either to constantly let the older ones parenting the babies just because she needs to be constantly pregnant!! End of.
I agree it's not she hasn't thought if the eldest who's shoulders it falls on to looks after the youngest ones while she's pregnant all the time, what childhood have they had, and what are they trying to prove? You can keep having children why? Makes no sense to me
missangie29
I'm oldest of 8 it is a blessing having a lot of siblings one never feels lonely. Some people can handle it and others can't . Doesn't make her crazy. Plus being oldest and watching after my siblings has prepared me well for when I had my first child.
How do you even make a baby in that crazy house without the kids hearing?
They all hear
Think how many grandchildren they will have :D
And what about when all her children want as much children as their parents? That would be a lot of grandchildren..
Weasel 23367 Yeah, XD
Anddd it's 10000 baby's
+Weasel 23367 It usually doesn't work that way. I am one of 10 children, and I cannot tell you how sick I became of everyone saying to me ," Oh, and I bet you want a huge family too!" Um..no. I knew I wanted a small family-I was virtually raised by my older siblings, and I had to raise my younger siblings (I was right in the middle). I desperately needed more attention from my parents. Even with all those people around, I was horribly lonely my entire childhood. I don't know about this family, how they interact and spend time individually with their children, but I really think parental involvement is critical for a child to grow up emotionally strong and with good self-esteem.
+Cerii even is grandchildren they might have less kids because I know since my dad has 5 siblings and I have 4 cousin on my dad side.
I feel like the producers suddenly realised a little bit in that the 12 year old boy was really photogenic and just started using him for everything 😂
That's so beautiful, and all the kids are so friendly and behaved, you can feel the love and support they've got for each other, super example for those who can't even raise two loving and caring siblings...
At least the parents aren't ugly, their kids are pretty and cute
I will put a name tag on each kid lol thumbs up to the parents. I wanna have a big family too some day..this big if i can afford them.
That sounds like a terrible idea
timeticker326 😂
kate Cameroon met great great grandma had 26 children, so technically not the largest British family because my family is the largest
kate Cameroon lol
Gemma Wilson
How dose she remember all of those names
Jared Tynes maybe she has a song
DEEJ Notice I bet you remember all ur classmates name which are like 24 students, such a dumb question if I asked you how do you remember all?
DEEJ J their her children! I still remember 50 class mates from primary and that was 2 years ago !
DEEJ J my mom can't even remember my sisters names and theres only 3 of us 😂😂😂😂
DEEJ J I have a sister called Hannah and I'm always called Hannah by all my relatives 😂😂
Why are people hating on this family?! They don't take help from the government. They are not brainwashing these kids with some cult like crap. As far as I can see those kids look happy and loved. If they want to have 50 kids God bless 'em. They love children, it brings them joy who are we to judge?!
For the people saying "why not adopt" no adoption agency in the whole of Britain would approve them, for the simple reason they're a big family! I got turned down for adoption because I don't drive (my husband does) like that makes you a good parent! They're both adopted themselves so it's not like they're unaware of poor childrens situations!They are both loving parents and have raised a family to be proud of! All you haters need to get a grip! They've done nothing wrong and deserve to be applauded!
Dani Davies I agree with you. Requirements for adoption are crazy. Both parents under the age of 40, no kids before, perfect health (in my country)... Like as if asthma or a potential sibling are somehow an issue.
I agree. So many kids that could be in wonderful homes are denied that because of trivial things that have zero affect on whether a person is a good parent or not.
Amen. You do not have to give up your dreams to fill all the needs of the world. Adoption is always nice, but no one needs to be forced to do it, while not being allowed to have their own children. I hate that argument.
Dani Davies it absolutely amazes me that it’s SO hard to adopt. Yet, you see the most god awful people popping out kids left and right that literally could careless about their kids. They don’t have homes, cars, money or they’re addicts. It blows my mind!
I've never seen brothers and sisters who actually like each other before... There's hope for world peace.
I wonder what's the scenario inside the laundry room every time the mom is doing the laundry.
+Hannah Halfacre the laundry shop might give up
Yes everyone should have their own tasks.
I want to have a big family but not a big pile of laundry or any pile😂
+girl pango Michelle never does laundry and Jana and Jinger,Joy Anna are the one who do laundry
I thought i was the only one who thought that
I think having so many children makes it difficult to the parents to get to know each one and have time for them individually. Anyway, wish them all the best☺
Who else nearly cried when they heard that baby Alfie Thomas died
i literally cried I was so sad. Because as a child you wonder what its like and how they feel. But seeing chloe upset that's what made me cry.
Ella Simpson I cried because my baby brother died also
Ella Simpson how did u know he was called Alfie
Oh please. It's just the mother's body telling her that enough is enough.
Ella Simpson I started to cry
It is like the 100 baby challenge on sims
Yes 😂😂😂😂
Hahah yasss
aha
AHHAHAHA OMG
You have to do that with different men
I've watched this so many times i just love it xx
who hasn't we all love this family.
Ikr
Same
I think what bothers me about large families, is the older children end of taking care of the younger children. I don't think its fair. I think if you have a child its your responsibilty as a parent to take care of your children, not pass it to your older kids. And this family has so many boys and they aren't pulling their weight, its the girls. We are in the 21st century.
Helena Edwards Well, that's what you get when you have 16 children.
Yeah maybe but they get mature really soon and know how to take care of themselves soon and how to face the reality of life too.
Engelse Wit love how you generalized all kids based on what you see and hear in the media
Engelse Wit also love how you generalized all only children. Not all only children are self absorbed spoiled brats. I am an only child myself and though I am spoiled, I appreciate what I receive and I am responsible.
Engelse Wit it's okay to help with your siblings, but if you are practically raising them, that's a huge problem.
I have 2 brothers and I feel like that's a lot
Ava Susser-Stein I have 2 brothers and 4 sisters I'm one or seven (most are from different moms)
I have 6 brothers
lol I have a brother and a sister and yeah it does feel like a lot
Ava Susser-Stein I have 6 brothers and I'm an only girl.
All about Accessories SAME!!Im an only girl!!
36:11 Where the hell are their stretchmarks? That's the real story here.
Genetics. No woman in my family has stretch marks after pregnancies. Not every woman gets them.
Guess we are lucky, but then you can always find other things to complain about. lol
Bless this mum and all her hard work. Beautiful genes her children are so precious and she looks amazing honestly amazing.
I'm wondering. Their house is big and looks fairly nice inside, all the children have modern and neat clothes, they can buy christmas presents for £3000 and the mother is a stay-at-home mom. How are they able to afford all of this? Is there so much financial support for families in Great Britain?
Well chances are they probably get a ton of money from publicity and fame. Like this documentary. Every comment and like and view give them more money. As do every time they appear in magazines, tv shows, news reports, etc.
If the father owns a business then they can't claim benefits
Child support
though in Britain now you only get benefits for one child, this is because so many people are trying to have as many children as they can for the money
+Lucy Castle no, you get child support for two, or three of the third is from a multiple birth.
she should write a book to help parents who cant handle one child....she's so happy. how do you afford it love?
+yokozuna165 she can't handle the kids. it's sort of a madhouse, just one where they take the lumps instead of scream.
You have a beautiful family, enjoy every day with those lovely children. And im so sorry for your loss of Alfie my his tender heart rest in peace 💞.
rewatching these while in quarantine and,,, being quarantined in that house must be a nightmare
Yeah 17 kids........the kids are raising the other kids and that is not how things should be.
Who says the kids are raising the kids? Their helping their parents.
Yes they help, but no parent can have that many kids and not have kids watching them.
When you have well behaved kids its easy and don't all older siblings in any family help out with little brothers and sisters?It teaches responsibility and life skills. Nothing wrong with it unless they are missing out on their childhood because of it. this family is not lacking anything by the looks of it.
My Dad grew up in a family that had 7 surviving kids, including him. (One died young.) It worked very well. He was born in 1916, and the two eldest, girls born in 1900 and 1901, helped a lot with the young ones. I knew all of them, and they all got on well.
They actually have 19 kids now..
I love how loving and close this family is and I read how they don't claim benefits and sponge of society moaning like they've been badly done to hats of to them and much ❤️ to them ❤️
the kids weren't even surprised when the mum announced!
+Lindsey Cassano they are used to it
I was literally crying my eyes out when they lost the second baby
The amount of patience these parents and children have! Incredible!
I think their family is ALOT better then the Duggars. This home feels more loved and warm and happy fuzzy feeling. They have a beautiful family. I am so sry to hear about her miscarriage. But i see she is a strong woman and family support, to help her thru the hard times.
It's frustrating seeing people living selfishly in their own bubble with absolute disregard to how overpopulated we are and how limited our resources are. If you can afford to raise 10, 15 children, ADOPT!!!!!!!! It's heart wrenching to know so many children are out there all alone with no parents to love and care for them!
Xendre Raine These people so attention seekers and will do anything to come in a news somehow ..adopting 3-4 kids would be great but No these fuckers gotta prove something to someone so popping out kids one after another
The older boys need to help out with domestic duties. Not cool.
Amanda Allen exact my point! 😠
Chloe’s the oldest currently living with them but I know there was a 14 year old boy, I found it weird when they said ‘since Chloe’s left the two older daughters have taken to helping make dinner.’ Like um what about the 14 y/o?
That's a woman's job
They have. Very cool.
omg in tears by the end. my heart goes out to the family
I have eight brothers and sisters from the same parents wooo I love having a big family.

there's a point where you have to say enough is enough and that is enough. they're aving kids while they're oldest daughter is having kids that shit is weird.
Actually that's more common than you think. Especially if you were a young mom.
I am in awe. I’m pregnant with my 3rd and we are done done. I can’t even imagine such a full house all the time- or how to afford it: physically, monetarily, or emotionally.
there are little kids and babies they could adopt and give a good life to them...they should be doing that instead really
adoption is super expensive
+Ashleigh Ray adoption is free if you adopt foster children
+tonda l no it is not
+Ashleigh Ray I adopted two kids through foster care and with my County they paid for everything
Just because people have babies they can't take care of why should that mean I can't have my own kids if I can take care of them. I don't like when people say you shouldn't have your own you should adopt because there's lots of unwanted kids, if I want adopt that's my choice and if I want to experience pregnancy and have a biological child that's my choice too.
What a nice family Christmas time would be lovely at there house with all the family
I hope God continues to bless and provide for this family! It looks like everyone has a smile on their face and is healthy! Good for them!
But the kids look properly fed, and clean, and that's nice.And the house is more or less organized.

So glad these children go to school, date, and get to be children, unlike the Duggars in the U.S.
Liz Arnott -I know!! They seem like they have much more personality and love!!
Gong! Children in a government school are raised in a very unnatural setting. It is contrary to the real world. The only place and time in our entire lives in which we are forced to be with numerous people our own immature age, or taught with artificially canned curriculum, is in schools such as that.
Which is why graduates of these places have such a difficult time adjusting to the real adult world.
Think, you only find home-schooling uncomfortable because you have been exposed to the government's artificial style for so long. In a historical perspective, it is government schooling that is the odd institution, not home-schooling.
Bigot
@@zerichonz6541 funny, interesting concept. Your accusation basically means you are a bigot, too.
