The malay family seems so calm and composed. even the children speak eloquently, job well done to the single mother
anne dee hahahah yup, when you’re forced into adulthood at a young age, we are forced to take on huge responsibilities, means we also need to act like adults..
yeah but still there will be some negatif effect from that. the big sister tends to hide her feelings and keep all the problem to herself coz she is being forced by condition to surpress her feelings.
but on positif side, she is mature before her age.
I couldn't agree more with some pros and cons you guys have outlined for an elder (likely eldest) child going through maturity. On one hand it's good to be obedient and responsible (respectful as well), but on the other hand being quiet and reserved may harbour regrets of missing out childhood/simply being a child later in adult life. Nothing can ever be prepared for what is to come to life… is the price I paid for being too sensitive and solemn of being an adult in the 12-yr-old me.
How come the elder child of each family is so mature and well spoken? I like the elder child of the each family.
Because they are older? Lmao
because they got the most attention when they were younger
LMFAO... How come not 🤣🤣
I am the eldest child and I agree 😉
Apart from the Heng family, the other 2 are loaded. 1 can afford bungalow and rent a 2 storey condo while the other can renovate the flat that nicely.
I’m very impressed with the two elder sisters in the Malay family: very well-spoken and well-mannered. They are both wise and graceful beyond their years. Kudos to the single mom.
Mom raised them well. The dad is a very bad dad.
Father : i love children...
Have u thought about the mother?Also not u clean the house, take care of them.
Still wan to quit without a job? where u get the money to support them financially?
He obviously has the means to support such a huge family and he isn't living off child support. One bring in bread and bacon, the other party does the housework. Nothing wrong with that.
@@sharine04 they depend on gifts and contributions from their church as well. I don’t see it as ideal. The mom looks half dead trying to do all the work and budgeting endlessly.
the heng family mother is so miserable. it must be the husband's own egoistic selfish reason to want so many kids. cant get a stable job yet want so many kids, making his wife have such a miserable life
Feminist
@@sofya3033 bro im actually agreeing with what op said. Wife like misreble af lol
Wow that's rude. Honesty that isn't nice.
no, hes already trying his best. so i think its good enough
Yes they're buying a house because they're so poor, listen first.
i think it would be better for esther to return to work as a teacher and for the father to find a part time job somewhere. this allows for a salary for the mother and more income for the family while the father can spend time with the kids and earn money at the same time.
While children should contribute to the family and do chores I think it is wrong to put a big burden on the older children by having a large family if you do not have adequate resources. The older kids did not choose this so should not be burdened with a lot of responsibility for looking after their younger siblings. They deserve to have some freedom to enjoy their childhood and focus on their studies without constant anxiety and stress. You can see how the pressure is negatively impacting Izzah and Izzati who are lovely bright girls.
Yes i agree with you
as the oldest sister in a 6 person household this is so true, sometimes I feel like my parents only got me to take care of their stuffs
Sometimes I wonder what made them want to continue having kids after like the 4th one. Like I find that quite selfish and they sort of put themselves into this stressful situation that’s not ideal for them or their kids
In Singapore, people like to stare at families with a lot of kids. It is really uncomfortable for the family.
38 yrs old with 7 children OMG.
Nothing new.. my grandma has 9 children at 35 😱😱
@@jasminetay9820 oh yah my grandma had 13 kids
@@dobbly9868 good for her 😍 this original comment or prob never seen parents with many kids before
nah, this video just convince me not to have so many children.

1 enough
Having so many children is not wrong,but its wrong when they cant provide quality life to them.The parents should know this,as simple as provide study room,but instead they make it as store.its 1 of the mistake,also making their eldest as co parenting.They need to change the mindset.
Its crazy to have kids more than 2 in such small country like SG
@Animation moonlight especially if you do have money. Having many kids causes inheritance battles.
In the Lim family, crystal , melody and the Brother share the same look while the rest look like their Mother.
carb day Melody is the youngest child, the 10 year old :)
Inherently this show how systemically wrong our houses are. People who want to buy a home to have this many children face so many hurdles. Even if you want, you have no space, and what, you Rob the future of your kids.
12:15 *bangtan enters*
omg dna!!
Lol 16:58 “why are girls braver than boys?” I loathed on that 😂
9 person in 3 rooms ..wow ..and nowadays new HDB become smaller and smaller. I think they need to find old HDB where the space is bigger. Gov really don’t know how to plan.. want us to have more kids but new HDB getting smaller.
I grew up in a family of 5 but i need to be responsible for my 2 younger brothers i was always angry and kept thinking why so unfair till now although I'm a grandmother now i sometimes still blame my mother for being unfair to me but i stilll take care of her
I'm not going to judge them for having a large family. But it's plain to see from this and the next episodes that having many children is a tremendous strain mentally on the parents and on the children themselves unfortunately.
The Lim family seems the happiest
crystal is so beautiful omg
iirachxl I think so too.
Dig out her ig HAHAHA
yes please what’s her ig !! Haha
Lee Zaccary yes HAHA im gonna find
Noah InfinityX ehh idk. lets find it hahah
Maybe they were staring cuz of the camera lmao
"I don't see children as burden"
Me: Are you sure...
i've just relise that these three family only had one boy 🤣
is it too late ?to relise that ?😂
I think more people are staring bc there is a camera lol
Why Rachel and not the eldest? Rachel is going to grow up wanting to get out of her family's house, amid so much responsibility!!
13:20 go library study!!
Ya lah!
omg yall she said she hang out with her friends more than her siblings because she always go out study what lmao
@@shermaynelim9665 depend what kind of hang out?maybe her mother had a curfew for them i guess?
Library is a good option,but teenagers they won't uses Library anymore.They will know gather at starbuck & coffee beans to study,but most 20% studying 80% talking about other things.
To me,their children need to learn to be patience.You can't simply blame everything on your parents.Just because your dad promises to move does not mean he doesn't care about you guys.
He already taken note of his children request & he know it,but his children need to understand the job that their father has.
Be grateful that she can own an Iphone(most probably all uses data,cheapest plan probably $30,wearing a braces,yet not grateful.
They are so lazy,not wanting to help their mom pack the stuff(except the eldest daughter) & their parents not handling the youngest child attitude.
Boy,if you can't study is ok,but try to improve & stop playing games.
Their children had so many request yet they can't even take note of their parents request.
Your parents just ask you to just pass your exam.they don't expect you to score 80 or A.They are not even scolding you.Prove to others that you can pass,but he look like he doesn't care about it.It time for his parents to confiscate his phone.
As for the 2nd daughter,i don't what to say about her.she need to improves on her attitude.
Yes your father may not be a sociable person,but he cares for you guys.he send you guys to school for Free,not even a single thank you to your own dad?
Why?because he broke the promises.He mentions that he is getting job overseas which is giving him good pay unless the jobs in SG give him a good pay.
This children have they ever think about 'who paid the utilities,electric,water,phone bills,school education,groceries,basic necessities) lmao this kids..they need a spank.
They are too spoiled.
The Lim family
*Knock the door multiple times*
Opens
"Shut up!"
normal people: hMm the Heng family , the Malay family.....
army : DNA ?! BTS ?!!?
Winona Tan lmao relatable
Poor couples want a big sized family whereas rich or highly educated couples tend to be childless or have 1 child.
Whenever I see family with more than two kids , I just look at them , and ask myself , why can’t I have siblings ?
Well there are perks of being a single child too.
I tell you, you will confirm regret one
Too many siblings will have sibling rivary.
The lim family stay near my house lol
Yesss represent our school Bryan and melodyyyy
I think it's good, when the kids grow up their sense of tolerance will be better.
this is depressing to watch. I am 39 this year and I'm still petrified at the thought of asking a girl out. 🤣
It's very unfair to the kids of big families.
They should come malaysia, alot of empty big houses.
Yea but they must still work in sg. Unlikely they can get a comparable job in Malaysia, and also must take into account the exchange rate...still very hard for large families to survive
I live malaysia and that is true 🇲🇾🇲🇾
This can work:Buy house in JB take bus/airplane to SG work.
Galaxy _Cupcake and they have to wake up 3 hrs earlier due to not stuck on the causeway jam
Nah.. Malaysia worst place ever.. Alot of crime, expensive and everywhere far..
The big family. It's a hell hole.
1:30 See SMB1419E on Bus Service 302 at Choa Chu Kang. The Sgwiki says on Bus Service 300 under Choa Chu Kang Bus Feeder.
12:16 OMG IS THAT DNA SKSKSKSKSJ
Ikrrr hahahha
iT iS SKSKSKSKSKSKD
I WAS FINDING WHO THINKS THE SAME WAY
@@heesbigheart Y E E T
See their parents daily schedule i also tired
The eldest in the family is growing up so alot of changes why parents didn't explain to them when they grow up they will also behave like that
Me: being the youngest and having 8 older brother, Oh my life was just like them but more chaotic
Hey hey hey, life is short, think positively your kids are your happiness not your troublemakers. Teach them to be more independent, it will be hard but it's worth the effort. 👍😁👌😜😏😔
David Heng in disguise ?
Wonder how they can afford to keep hsewifes in such a big family. I mean shouldn't they work to contribute? Just hire a maid!
Minimum an educated wife can earn: $2K+
Minimum wage for a maid: $400-$500
2 maids: $800
I think its more of spending time with the the kids, educate them and give them time and affection
How come the malay house like to clean and doesn't have books every where compared to the other families lol
,We malays dont really study thats why many of us end up in ITE
Malay families generally (not all) take pride in their homes ala an abode to retire to after work or school
@@StealthLACHESIS Do you really have to be self deprecating of your own community like this?

As a doctor, I’m concerned that Bernice has an adenoidal voice. Note to parents-if she snores, sleeps poorly and is irritable, sleepy during the day and can’t concentrate, please get her tonsils and adenoids checked out :)
Esther should be ashamed of herself interrupting her daughter Rachel from studying to play peacemaker for two of her little siblings in a minor argument. All because Esther wants to be 'friends' with her kids and not a responsible Mother. Grow up lady, they are YOUR kids, not Rachel's.
u also have to understand she has multiple children.
@@pllee1956 That isn't Rachel's fault.
This feels ironic for me cause my parents have 6 kids but have a huge house go on vacation our parents are our biological parents but I rarely see my 3 other siblings cause their overseas and so much older than me.
I have one older brother how I wish I could have a big family and a lots of siblings
Go study hard earn money next time you want 50 children also no problem
ok.. i need to point this out ok... I HEARD FREAKING DNA LIKE OMFG BRO DNA ARMY HERE
Kerine Huang -Kookielover MOOD
Im sure esther would have earned more staying in the teaching service
i got 8 siblings:)
Except for the Lims, how other two family survived? Unless they have side hustles to bring in extra income. Senior PSA max pay is $2900 before cpf as of 2021. Not sure now. Really overpaid.
Rachel is very mature good for her
Crystal is cute tho
As a single child I beg my parents to have a brother.
Not me after watching this show
