You can say that again. I grew up with two brothers and until my parents divorced (when I was nearly 16), I lived in a much bigger house. I'm not joking.
The family that lives off the government is a total disgrace. It's one thing to fall on hard times but it's totally different to just live off assistance and not care. 👎
Fully agree with you. The one wife says they weren't happy with such a small home. Instead of her or her husband working, they went back to their government (not sure the correct term) and told them they needed a bigger home to be provided for them. Its probably the same in that country as it is in the U.S. Where money is taken out of people's pay checks that work to provide for her family. That burns my butt. In the U.S. us working folks pay taxes to help financially support parents that are capable of working but don't. Why should people sacrifice their hard working money for other families by having taxes taken out of their pay checks to support, what I feel, are lazy parents? I could have used every extra cent to put food on my own table. I completely understand if you fall on difficult times and need extra assistance for a short period of time. But for the one family in this video, they expect help and have no problem just living off of others. The programs put in place to help are being abused and were not intended as a long term permanent source of income. Families in the U.S. live off these programs for a generations. I'm always the first to help anyone. But it's not ok when my kindness and other's is mistaken for ignorance.

I was one of 8 children. The youngest 2 and the oldest one have passed away in the past 15 years. I knew I did NOT want that many. We agreed on 2. We had our son first, then 2 years later I suffered an ectopic pregnancy and also lost my tube. They then told me it was on half as likely I'd have another. 14 months later our daughter was born. I refused to go home until they cut, tied and burned the end of the remaining tube. Both of our children are now in their 40's and each have 2 boys.
If they're having trouble making ends meet, why are both parents smoking? It's utterly ridiculous. They cause asthma and other respiratory problems. Second hand smoke is terrible for the entire family. They're completely irresponsible.
If you can raise the kids, WATCH the kids and CARE for them properly, then go for it, but that means YOU raise your own kids and dont have screaming uncontrolled tantrums all over the place. As for "kids dont eat veges" well, they wont if you dont give it to them. Lets hope drs everywhere (I know some do) have rules preventing them from giving treatment to enlarge an already large family🤨
Totally agree how unhealthy this is for children, to be squashed into houses full of siblings and noise and stress and chaos management. Kids should be allowed to have time to themselves to decompress not constantly having brothers and sisters climbing all over you and disrupting everything you do.
Maybe it’s because I had ivf to be able to have one pregnancy.. but after them having 13 babies and for them to be massively disappointed just baffles me. They have been blessed with 13 with no help needed! They’ve taken that for granted!
Worked my entire life in a few different careers. At one time I had 3 jobs. My five now adult children feel like a small family by comparison. The inequality in our country is at an all time high
So they won't stop having kids completely by choice and the council buy the neighbour's house and knock two into one for them, but wheelchair users are forced to stay in inaccessible homes, unable to use kitchen facilities, sleep in their own bedrooms, bathe themselves etc and instead have to pay for carers to do the most basic of things for them because what they need "just doesn't exist." But every year it's attack the disabled, cut funding for social care etc instead of forcing these animals to be sterilised. And then imagine being one of those disabled people living next door to one of these zoos. The noise is unbearable, and the unfairness and hopelessness is soul destroying.
Full rent paid in a 7 bedroom house, council even bought the house next door for them to convert Jag, BMW probably disability cars £2,400 a month benefits in 2003, like £5,000 in todays inflated rate A divna why a watch these programme its a proper piss take like
If you want to really get triggered, watch a few episodes of the British series Nightmare Tenants, or Can't Pay We'll Take It Away. Unbelievable entitlement and irresponsibility of some people.
They moan about how expensive everything is and yet still continue to pop them out. People that work are expected to keep these families that don’t contribute. There are couples out there that can’t even have one child.
Lots of the time it's values. Either religious, or the society they were raised in. I grew up in a Catholic family so large families were the norm. I came from a family of five, and my husband (Protestant) from a family of six but. We decided three was more than enough. They are all young adults (28, 26 & 20), and we love them to bits, but we also are enjoying being empty nesters 😊.
Jeez. Can't imagine these poor kids not having somewhere they can go if they're overwhelmed or need some alone time. There's no way these kids get enough attention from their parents either.
I hear this a lot but it’s just rubbish. I grew up in a large family and I never understood why folk keep banging on about time with parents. Who wants that? You get to primary school and you want less time with parents. You go off out to play with your pals.
@@FNBAWFE Exactly. From a kids point of view we’re ancient, geriatric even. This is just a thing adults think is what family is about. I’ve been guilty of it at times myself. But honestly, faced with spending the day out playing with your pals or sat with your parents, who are kids really choosing? It’s not us. It wasn’t our parents either. So we fall into the trap of upping the game to make ourselves more appealing to our kids than their pals and end up promising days out at expensive places. And even then once they hit teenage like my eldest you’ll get a resounding “sod off” for those too.
I've found that children from large families (from observing families around 8-10 kids) that once adults those kids do not repeat history and instead have small families of their own.
@@shez5964I can attest to that. My husband came from a family of six, and I a family of five. We have three, and he got snipped three months after our youngest was born.
My mum and dad had 8 kids and they fostered kids as well I'm the youngest . My parents lived on a farm and never got any benefits raising us . There are 6 girls and 2 boys ,and my mum looked after my half sister my dad had before he met my mother . 🙏💕
Some of the families featured support themselves. Give the guy a break his child has special needs and needs caring. And she wants to stop it. I’m more concerned she had 6 kids so early. She said she stopped 4 years before. Did she say she had 6 kids by 19? Age of consent seems to be different over there. The relationship does not seem appropriate for her given her age when she started and his age. In a few years she may be separate from him and then want children with the next partner. I’m glad NHS resisted at first her request for sterilization. @@sleepymoo6130

Made in 2006 - all grown up - this uploader is a disgrace putting ancient material up - look at the end credits! Probably all have children of their own now!
Aubrey has a very public facebook page and it seems like he and his partner didnt have any other kids together and she got married to another man when the youngest here was still a toddler. All of her kids have taken their step dads name and they seem to all be happy. A lot of Aubrey's kids also have kids of their own now
I think it should be up to the couple how many kids they want to have. I was unable to have children so we adopted a baby boy. I wanted to stay home with him so we could really only afford one on a single salary. His friends were always at our house so he was not lonely. He said he had a good childhood, we went to Disneyland and he had a puppy. We tried our very best.
To be honest it isn’t responsible is it! Especially when the council moves one family out & pays them from our taxes & gives a 7 bedroom house to a large family. Most are on some form of social welfare & it’s not fair. There are responsible people who don’t have loads & loads of children & get absolutely no help.
My husband and I are raising 8 and would never imagine using it as an excuse to force others to pay for our family when we are perfectly capable of doing so. No excuses for intentional choices. Sad as it is, that includes having life insurance.
The only family that TRULY impressed me was the catholic one. Well organised,clean,educated and eating good wholesome homemade food. Not crisps and rubbish like some of the others. Hats off to you dear family !!! ❤
Yes, the Radfords are the biggest family. However, the title of this is Britain's biggest families. Plural. The radfords are included in other episodes. Not meaning to nitpick. Just saying.
This was made in 2006. Some of these families have kids at 20 years of age. Half of Britain was living in council property back then. They built and owned most properties. An entirely different perspective to now or to those abroad to what benefits are. It would be like criticizing a 67 year old for getting social security.
Was not until the 80’s they started to sell stock to tenants. And these families would have all started families before then and certainly grown up in a home like that. @@georginacat7667
I think having a boat load of kids is insane! No way this could be enjoyable, no way!! Women that do this is obsessed with being pregnant, it’s absolutely ridiculous and extremely stressful for all of the kids. Totally unfair!!!
I've always wanted a large family too. But I decided to put what I wanted aside after 2 kids because finance made me have to put what they wanted first. And surely I couldn't of done anything they wanted if I had a large family. It's about being able to do it aswell and clearly from the hygiene standard in some of them houses some of the parents are not able to do it and I'm sure they should have understood that before 10+ kids.
These kids lack of basic needs which is quite clear. Anything they want meaning good education healthy food good life quality not handing them everything they want on a silver spoon. But I would rater have 1 or 2 kids I can afford to put decent food on the table for and provide good education for than have 10 and feed them unhealthy food and give them poor quality of life and education just because that's what I wanted and dreamed of having. Having kids should not be so selfish.
This is a great comment, it's really true, and the kids don't seem to be very happy at all 😢 kids can't choose to live but parents should make their lives worth living 😊
People moaning on here about they can't manage financially. We'll you shouldn't have had that many kids. I'm sorry if people think I am being horrible, but its the true. Stop having more kids, and you will be able to afford to support them.
Sorry but whaaat. I’m all down for someone having a big family, fantastic BUT not at the sacrifice of their children’s well being and providing for their necessities. Having 13 children and saying you want more but you can’t provide for the ones you already have is completely wrong! That is your selfish “need” to keep bringing more life into the world. Not a benefit. At what point would enough be enough for some of these families 😔
The kady who lost her husband and nearly lost her house gets with this new man and wants to have more kids! Why would you risk it all again he said he was 56 !
She ended up losing her house anyway. I saw her in another documentary here on TH-cam and she had just received notice from the bank that the house was being repossessed due to mortgage arrears.The last scene in that doco showed them packing their stuff up and moving out.
Took all year to save for a hoilday im a single mother of three (all growen now) worked all my life and i can't afford a hoilday im retired now so i can take it easy those two need to get off there backsides and get a job
Oh my god, just seen the bit about the canaries - inbreeding animals as well as draining society and YOUR NEIGHBOURS HAD TO MOVE OUT SO YOU COULD HAVE A BIGGER HOUSE. I need to switch off because I'm going to lose it!
Großfamilien sind was Schönes und das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Kinder machen viel Arbeit und kosten viel. Zunächst aber, muss man die Kinder ernähren können und ausreichend Platz haben. Ich finde es schlimm, wenn man 13 Kinder hat und in so einem kleinen Haus lebt und die Kinder im Wohnzimmer,auf dem Boden, schlafen müssen.
I’m sorry, I can’t watch this “adult selfishness”! It’s tantamount to negligence when you can’t equally share your love, time and resources with your precious children and why are parents allowed to take out their own misgivings and poverty onto children???? I really don’t agree with people having lots of babies for government funding, because I know that the children are not really benefiting, but the parents do!
300 Pounds per month is about $500.00 CAD.. That's not even enough for a single person household here in Canada and I've heard that Britain is even more expensive than here....
That monthly amount is in addition to the rent on their house, which is also paid for by social services. Also the documentary seems to be at least 20 years old so prices were lower then. They get other benefits too. Clearly they were doing all right. Plus nearly all these welfare recipients do some paid work "under the table"; they're just smart enough not to mention it in a TV documentary.
This is crazy to have this mass of kids, it can’t be good on the women’s body, it crazy the ones on benefit to be allowed to have that much kids, surely getting all those benefits and given a massive council house because they won’t use contraception or get the snip and steralized, grr 😡
@@beaulieuc8910Obviously they would, if you can afford the kids and their lifestyles then go ahead and have them but if you can't and are just having them to only complain about your financial situation then why do you keep making the decision to have more?
I suspect the dad wasn’t actually not wanting more. Had a bunch of kids with one person, remarried another who must have been insanely young when they got together, and had a bunch with her despite supposed birth control? Something’s up there. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he was sabotaging contraceptive methods.
It blows my mind that people can lose a partner from death or divorce of 10,20,30 years then turn around and replace them in a year or two. No way have they gotten through the grieving phase.
every one grieves in their own way and in there own time. in some cases a lot of the grieving is done before the death of a loved one if that loved one was terminaly ill for instance.
Smiley face and beans etc says the mum , and they don’t like veggies etc !!! You’re the MOTHER; it’s YOUR responsibility to bring them up on good wholesome and nutritious food, which includes fruits and vegetables !!! Stop making excuses for your OWN poor food choices. Junk food is only a sometimes food. Things such as pasta , rice and potatoes etc can be made in large quantities, and are very versatile ; rice and pasta goes a long way and can make extras and store in fridge and reheat. Frozen veggies are convenient, pieces of fruit should always be available , milk, cheese, yoghurts. Whole grain and whole meal breads and so forth.
not to be mean, but there is something psychologically wrong with someone having a kid only because they need to feel needed. Toxic co-dependency and low self-esteem/insecurity is no reason to bring a life into the world. A child should not exist to solely fulfill an emotional need for an adult; it's selfish.
But it shouldn't be their responsibility to help the family financially! They didn't choose to have all those children, the parents did, so it's their responsibility to support them
It's the welfare state entitlement mentality. The more children there are in the family, the more money they get from the government, so there's no incentive for the teens to work and contribute. I don't think it's as common for teenagers to get part-time jobs in the UK, as it is in North America. They're expected nowadays to stay in school until they're at least 18, then often go straight on to some kind of post-secondary education, all without having their own income. A couple of generations ago it was very different; most kids other than the university-bound were finished with formal schooling by age 14-16 and would immediately enter the workforce, and they'd be expected to start paying their parents part of their wages if they continued living at home.

I was one of 8 children. The youngest 2 and the oldest one have passed away in the past 15 years. I knew I did NOT want that many. We agreed on 2. We had our son first, then 2 years later I suffered an ectopic pregnancy and also lost my tube. They then told me it was on half as likely I'd have another. 14 months later our daughter was born. I refused to go home until they cut, tied and burned the end of the remaining tube. Both of our children are now in their 40's and each have 2 boys.
Hats off to the family's that work for there kids. The spongers are a different story 😅
Well said
Some ppl struggle and never have a child cant Shirley and her hubby be grateful with 13 healthy kids
Some people are greedy and I think Shirley hubby is glad
If they're having trouble making ends meet, why are both parents smoking? It's utterly ridiculous. They cause asthma and other respiratory problems. Second hand smoke is terrible for the entire family. They're completely irresponsible.
If you can raise the kids, WATCH the kids and CARE for them properly, then go for it, but that means YOU raise your own kids and dont have screaming uncontrolled tantrums all over the place. As for "kids dont eat veges" well, they wont if you dont give it to them. Lets hope drs everywhere (I know some do) have rules preventing them from giving treatment to enlarge an already large family🤨
Yeah you as the adults care for the children. NOT THE OLDEST CHILDREN CARING FOR THE YOUNG ONES!!! That crap is abuse, you are the adult not the kids…
u obviosly never had kids.
Totally agree how unhealthy this is for children, to be squashed into houses full of siblings and noise and stress and chaos management. Kids should be allowed to have time to themselves to decompress not constantly having brothers and sisters climbing all over you and disrupting everything you do.
So western, lol 😆
Ya
Maybe it’s because I had ivf to be able to have one pregnancy.. but after them having 13 babies and for them to be massively disappointed just baffles me. They have been blessed with 13 with no help needed! They’ve taken that for granted!
You don't know the poorest, lazy bums scrongers are very very fertile then you get those that can't have or battle like you do which is so sad 😢
Have as many kids as you want but pay for them yourselves by working!!
Agreed
Yesssss
Absolutely
Worked my entire life in a few different careers. At one time I had 3 jobs.
My five now adult children feel like a small family by comparison.
The inequality in our country is at an all time high
So they won't stop having kids completely by choice and the council buy the neighbour's house and knock two into one for them, but wheelchair users are forced to stay in inaccessible homes, unable to use kitchen facilities, sleep in their own bedrooms, bathe themselves etc and instead have to pay for carers to do the most basic of things for them because what they need "just doesn't exist." But every year it's attack the disabled, cut funding for social care etc instead of forcing these animals to be sterilised. And then imagine being one of those disabled people living next door to one of these zoos. The noise is unbearable, and the unfairness and hopelessness is soul destroying.
Both parents out of work. Two cars, one a Jag! Both smokers! Say no more...........!!
On the Dol of course
Full rent paid in a 7 bedroom house, council even bought the house next door for them to convert
Jag, BMW probably disability cars
£2,400 a month benefits in 2003, like £5,000 in todays inflated rate
A divna why a watch these programme its a proper piss take like
What I was thinking
If you want to really get triggered, watch a few episodes of the British series Nightmare Tenants, or Can't Pay We'll Take It Away. Unbelievable entitlement and irresponsibility of some people.
They moan about how expensive everything is and yet still continue to pop them out. People that work are expected to keep these families that don’t contribute. There are couples out there that can’t even have one child.
I'm not sure why a woman would do this to herself?
Lots of the time it's values. Either religious, or the society they were raised in. I grew up in a Catholic family so large families were the norm. I came from a family of five, and my husband (Protestant) from a family of six but. We decided three was more than enough. They are all young adults (28, 26 & 20), and we love them to bits, but we also are enjoying being empty nesters 😊.
It’s a psychosis. You heard Shirley: running around after kids is her whole existence.
Bored, lonely, don't require much intellectual stimulation, think their genes are profound.
"KIDS DON'T REALLY EAT VEGETABLES" ?? SERIOUSLY...MAYBE YOU ARE JUST TOO LAZY TO COOK THEM???
The one little girl in the van was way too old for that bottle.
Jeez. Can't imagine these poor kids not having somewhere they can go if they're overwhelmed or need some alone time. There's no way these kids get enough attention from their parents either.
I hear this a lot but it’s just rubbish. I grew up in a large family and I never understood why folk keep banging on about time with parents. Who wants that? You get to primary school and you want less time with parents. You go off out to play with your pals.
@@lanabmc3519 yeah ugh yuck, horrible. Who'd want to spend time with family right? 😒
@@FNBAWFE Exactly. From a kids point of view we’re ancient, geriatric even. This is just a thing adults think is what family is about. I’ve been guilty of it at times myself. But honestly, faced with spending the day out playing with your pals or sat with your parents, who are kids really choosing? It’s not us. It wasn’t our parents either. So we fall into the trap of upping the game to make ourselves more appealing to our kids than their pals and end up promising days out at expensive places. And even then once they hit teenage like my eldest you’ll get a resounding “sod off” for those too.
@@lanabmc3519 Na not for our family. Our kids love doing things with us, they must like us.
@@lanabmc3519some of us actually have wonderful parents, so we enjoy our families and parents.
I got 2 kids and I still wonder if I am spending enough time w each one of them, I can't understand how these ppl have so many kids...my anxiety
This is obviously an old documentary, a pay phone? and the prices in the supermarket? it would be nice to see where they are now.
It’s from 2004 I think and yes would be great to know where all these kids are now
I've found that children from large families (from observing families around 8-10 kids) that once adults those kids do not repeat history and instead have small families of their own.
@@shez5964I can attest to that. My husband came from a family of six, and I a family of five. We have three, and he got snipped three months after our youngest was born.
@@shez5964thats not always the case, a friend of mine had 9 kids one of his daughters is already at 6 of her own ..
I would like to know where they are now.
My mum and dad had 8 kids and they fostered kids as well I'm the youngest . My parents lived on a farm and never got any benefits raising us . There are 6 girls and 2 boys ,and my mum looked after my half sister my dad had before he met my mother . 🙏💕
I watch this and think they're not the Radfords ....22 biological kids and they support themselves
Some of the families featured support themselves. Give the guy a break his child has special needs and needs caring. And she wants to stop it. I’m more concerned she had 6 kids so early. She said she stopped 4 years before. Did she say she had 6 kids by 19? Age of consent seems to be different over there. The relationship does not seem appropriate for her given her age when she started and his age. In a few years she may be separate from him and then want children with the next partner. I’m glad NHS resisted at first her request for sterilization. @@sleepymoo6130
@@sleepymoo6130I absolutely love the radfords! Thankfully they have broken the stigma of large families and they are supporting themselves and showing up all of the families on this video. The ones on here should be ashamed of themselves, keep birthing more for their OWN need and at the sacrifice of the ones they currently have x
If you’re in the UK they still got child benefit
@@potato1084 you get child benefit until the child is 18-20 (as long as they’re in education) you get £24.00 for the first and £15.90 for additional children, it might sound like a lot but it doesn’t cover much.

Made in 2006 - all grown up - this uploader is a disgrace putting ancient material up - look at the end credits! Probably all have children of their own now!
That would be interesting especially, since some of these kids probably have children of their own now.
Aubrey has a very public facebook page and it seems like he and his partner didnt have any other kids together and she got married to another man when the youngest here was still a toddler. All of her kids have taken their step dads name and they seem to all be happy. A lot of Aubrey's kids also have kids of their own now
Bloody hell 😮I wouldn’t want to be on a campsite with them lot !
Me either
Imagine being camped next to them. I’d pack up and go home
@@jocanham44 me too
You find the quietest corner away from everyone and there’s always a huge family with screaming kids that rock up and pitch right next to you!!!
I’d tell them to be quiet
I think it should be up to the couple how many kids they want to have. I was unable to have children so we adopted a baby boy. I wanted to stay home with him so we could really only afford one on a single salary. His friends were always at our house so he was not lonely. He said he had a good childhood, we went to Disneyland and he had a puppy. We tried our very best.
Aww, that's really nice. I hope you enjoyed the experience together
Sounds like you are wonderful parents to your son xx
I agree people should have as many as they want as long as they can afford them and not rely on benefits or the counciĺ
To be honest it isn’t responsible is it! Especially when the council moves one family out & pays them from our taxes & gives a 7 bedroom house to a large family. Most are on some form of social welfare & it’s not fair. There are responsible people who don’t have loads & loads of children & get absolutely no help.
This is why i have 1 child, i am one and done, couldnt imagine living hand to mouth with so many mouths to feed
ur poor kid probably wishes they had 12 siblings
My husband and I are raising 8 and would never imagine using it as an excuse to force others to pay for our family when we are perfectly capable of doing so. No excuses for intentional choices. Sad as it is, that includes having life insurance.
29:42 Pete’s face says it all
The only family that TRULY impressed me was the catholic one. Well organised,clean,educated and eating good wholesome homemade food. Not crisps and rubbish like some of the others. Hats off to you dear family !!! ❤
Why do people have so many children if they can't control them in any way? no manners whatsoever! mess, noise, and low standard of living
I couldn’t stand the chaos. I had three daughters. That was enough. ❤❤❤
I used to work with Charles (Charlie Lewis) it was in sainsburys on alder road on poole. Really nice lad .
These aren't Britain's biggest family ,the radfords have 22
Yes, the Radfords are the biggest family. However, the title of this is Britain's biggest families. Plural. The radfords are included in other episodes. Not meaning to nitpick. Just saying.
@@petitehippie7064 The radfords put up recent updates - this was made in 2006!!!
The mother was a grandmother and was still having kids.
this was made in 2006, at that time the Radfords had 11 children and so these families had more!
This was made in 2006. Some of these families have kids at 20 years of age. Half of Britain was living in council property back then. They built and owned most properties. An entirely different perspective to now or to those abroad to what benefits are. It would be like criticizing a 67 year old for getting social security.
2006? No. 1976 maybe
Was not until the 80’s they started to sell stock to tenants. And these families would have all started families before then and certainly grown up in a home like that. @@georginacat7667

Why do they all eat so unhealthy, surely it's cheaper to cut all the rubbish out
Awesome video
I think having a boat load of kids is insane! No way this could be enjoyable, no way!! Women that do this is obsessed with being pregnant, it’s absolutely ridiculous and extremely stressful for all of the kids. Totally unfair!!!
12 daughters 1 son holly crap
I've always wanted a large family too. But I decided to put what I wanted aside after 2 kids because finance made me have to put what they wanted first. And surely I couldn't of done anything they wanted if I had a large family. It's about being able to do it aswell and clearly from the hygiene standard in some of them houses some of the parents are not able to do it and I'm sure they should have understood that before 10+ kids.
These kids lack of basic needs which is quite clear. Anything they want meaning good education healthy food good life quality not handing them everything they want on a silver spoon. But I would rater have 1 or 2 kids I can afford to put decent food on the table for and provide good education for than have 10 and feed them unhealthy food and give them poor quality of life and education just because that's what I wanted and dreamed of having. Having kids should not be so selfish.
This is a great comment, it's really true, and the kids don't seem to be very happy at all 😢 kids can't choose to live but parents should make their lives worth living 😊
When u have that many kids all ur doing is housekwork, cooking, cleaning laundry.

If you can financially manage it , then so be it! If not, just don’t!🙁
The team work in the Glove’s household is great
People moaning on here about they can't manage financially. We'll you shouldn't have had that many kids. I'm sorry if people think I am being horrible, but its the true. Stop having more kids, and you will be able to afford to support them.
Sorry but whaaat. I’m all down for someone having a big family, fantastic BUT not at the sacrifice of their children’s well being and providing for their necessities. Having 13 children and saying you want more but you can’t provide for the ones you already have is completely wrong! That is your selfish “need” to keep bringing more life into the world. Not a benefit.
At what point would enough be enough for some of these families 😔
The kady who lost her husband and nearly lost her house gets with this new man and wants to have more kids!
Why would you risk it all again he said he was 56 !
She ended up losing her house anyway. I saw her in another documentary here on TH-cam and she had just received notice from the bank that the house was being repossessed due to mortgage arrears.The last scene in that doco showed them packing their stuff up and moving out.
I will say it, Aubrey you obviously eat and smoke well, go to Work. And a holiday....
Just 3 kids and dealing with hw and activites, cleaning, cooking and laundry is overwhelming.
Would love updates on all these families
There is a video involving the family with 13 daughters and one son. It’s called parenting 12 beauty queens and a son

Großfamilien sind was Schönes und das muss jeder für sich entscheiden. Kinder machen viel Arbeit und kosten viel. Zunächst aber, muss man die Kinder ernähren können und ausreichend Platz haben. Ich finde es schlimm, wenn man 13 Kinder hat und in so einem kleinen Haus lebt und die Kinder im Wohnzimmer,auf dem Boden, schlafen müssen.

300 Pounds per month is about $500.00 CAD.. That's not even enough for a single person household here in Canada and I've heard that Britain is even more expensive than here....
This was made nearly 20 years ago.
That monthly amount is in addition to the rent on their house, which is also paid for by social services. Also the documentary seems to be at least 20 years old so prices were lower then. They get other benefits too. Clearly they were doing all right. Plus nearly all these welfare recipients do some paid work "under the table"; they're just smart enough not to mention it in a TV documentary.
This is crazy to have this mass of kids, it can’t be good on the women’s body, it crazy the ones on benefit to be allowed to have that much kids, surely getting all those benefits and given a massive council house because they won’t use contraception or get the snip and steralized, grr 😡

bet if they kould afford them all you would be ok with it
@@beaulieuc8910Obviously they would, if you can afford the kids and their lifestyles then go ahead and have them but if you can't and are just having them to only complain about your financial situation then why do you keep making the decision to have more?

Not all big families make eldest kids baby plenty if small family make kids babysit...
Are some people allergic to condoms? Why not get the snip after 3 kids if you didn't want more?
Are some people allergic to condoms? The answer to that is yes due to the Latex in them.
Also snip? Not your body not your choice to make.
@@DreamaCorbyn1 news flash, there's latex free condoms.
I suspect the dad wasn’t actually not wanting more. Had a bunch of kids with one person, remarried another who must have been insanely young when they got together, and had a bunch with her despite supposed birth control? Something’s up there. I wouldn’t be surprised to learn he was sabotaging contraceptive methods.
Good advert for Tena lady.
9.35. He said the twins.. what they don’t even deserve the respect of saying their names now.. it’s just the twins. Shocking
I wondered the same thing. The filmmakers should have asked them to give their names if the parents didn’t have the decency to do so.
It blows my mind that people can lose a partner from death or divorce of 10,20,30 years then turn around and replace them in a year or two. No way have they gotten through the grieving phase.
Agreed
They want to move on... Nothing wrong with it..
every one grieves in their own way and in there own time. in some cases a lot of the grieving is done before the death of a loved one if that loved one was terminaly ill for instance.

Smiley face and beans etc says the mum , and they don’t like veggies etc !!! You’re the MOTHER; it’s YOUR responsibility to bring them up on good wholesome and nutritious food, which includes fruits and vegetables !!! Stop making excuses for your OWN poor food choices. Junk food is only a sometimes food. Things such as pasta , rice and potatoes etc can be made in large quantities, and are very versatile ; rice and pasta goes a long way and can make extras and store in fridge and reheat. Frozen veggies are convenient, pieces of fruit should always be available , milk, cheese, yoghurts. Whole grain and whole meal breads and so forth.

15 people, no jobs, but get free housing? How?
not to be mean, but there is something psychologically wrong with someone having a kid only because they need to feel needed. Toxic co-dependency and low self-esteem/insecurity is no reason to bring a life into the world. A child should not exist to solely fulfill an emotional need for an adult; it's selfish.
Agree
Does anybody know if there's a follow up with these people at all?
how do they afford food? also why are the teenagers not getting part-time jobs after school and on the weekends? it would help the family so much.
But it shouldn't be their responsibility to help the family financially! They didn't choose to have all those children, the parents did, so it's their responsibility to support them
@@katypotaty906 i meant for themselves to buy what they want or need they would probably be going without
I started working at 13.
It's the welfare state entitlement mentality. The more children there are in the family, the more money they get from the government, so there's no incentive for the teens to work and contribute. I don't think it's as common for teenagers to get part-time jobs in the UK, as it is in North America. They're expected nowadays to stay in school until they're at least 18, then often go straight on to some kind of post-secondary education, all without having their own income. A couple of generations ago it was very different; most kids other than the university-bound were finished with formal schooling by age 14-16 and would immediately enter the workforce, and they'd be expected to start paying their parents part of their wages if they continued living at home.
Why must the children pay for their parents' selfish and irresponsible decisions? They are victims in these situations.
