The father has to work himself to death to feed that many people! However I feel worse for the children. The father had the choice to blow his load in the mother but the children had no choice in coming out of her.
The woman complains about how her biological mother gave her up for adoption and made her feel unwanted but she doesn't realize that the lack of attention she gives to her kids is making them feel unwanted too.
@@skylarthompson299 Exactly, my parents would always use their childhood as an excuse to torment me when I was younger, and I never grew up with a healthy mindset. This is how the cycle continues, until somebody puts a stop to it.
@@deckmanbestie9772 I’m sorry that your awful “parents” did that to you, because they couldn’t get a darn therapist instead they pour all their problems onto their own family as excuses to make themselves look better when they’re not. Are you doing okay now?
@@skylarthompson299 Yeah I'm doing good now, thanks for asking :] although Im still in the same family and house as them Im finding better ways to cope like having friends around that care about me, etc.
"Having more babies is worth the risk." Really? Because um. Pretty sure your children would rather have their mother than another sibling. That mentality is actually scary.
It's an addiction, and they're treating it with what the mothers' are addicted to. Hearing them say it's worth the risk is like hearing a heroin addict say it's worth the risk. It'll never not be worth the risk unless something really, really drastic happens. And it can't just be their lives at risk because, again, addict mentality.
They are religious and live what the Bible says. "Fill the Earth.." or something like that. No birth control, God forbid abortion, so what do you do? You keep on having child after child. They live their convictions. And they are all healthy children, which is great. What I like less is that chaos is seen as normal. If you decide to have this many children, you have to give them other kind of attention and group occupations and clear responsibilities so they form a team and so they can get something from being one of many :). Lot of screaming, fighting, rivalry and not having enough peaceful time at home is not good.
@@majdavojnikovic the big "risk" I'm talking about is her life. I get why she's doing this, but if she ends up dying, she is leaving a husband by himself with all these mourning children. Does their God really want them to have children until she dies young and abandons her children? What is the point of that? I'm not even against her having a large family. That is fine. But when a doctor is telling you that death is knocking, I think you should take a second to seriously think.
@@brandym3926 I agree with you, for me this is not responsible behaviour, but you could see how they both rationalize their choices. One with way to cope with trauma of being adopted ("not wanted"), other one with following the Bible. As they themselves assume, it sure looks like a kind of addiction. If it is addiction, addicts don't think rationally, or can rationally address risks. What is also tragic is that all those children have nothing to say about all of it.
Having a kid at the age of 14 is something I can't even imagine, let alone a whole army of them. It's absolutely insane, the elder kids must feel so neglected ngl.
@steffimaier7297 he was 18, she was 14. Yes technically he was an adult but don't make it sound like he was in his 30s impregnating a 14 year old. They lived near each other and knew each other for years. From memory they connected over being adopted originally
She was 10 when they met and pregnant by 13 and had her first at 14 think on that 12/13 having sex and if you can find the pic of them she looks very very young. Him not so much @@ilonacharlton1144
Why would they feel neglected ? From what we’ve seen they don’t even do chores just because their the “bigger kids” like my family did.. I think we judge but damn they do a great job. Bible study , limited tv I mean come on. I have a few kids and we have iPads lmFAO’
It's not shown, but im sure majority of the responsibility is on the older kids to take care of most of the younger kids. Wbile the mother and father focus mainly on the youngest ones. I've seen it a million times on different TV shows. The older children are unhappy and exhausted, just not living the life a young person should live. And then, it makes them not even want kids.
exactly. Make as many kids as you want until you can afford everything they need and give them proper childhood, which in such a big family is just impossible. 0 silence, 0 or very little contact with mom, babysitting until you move out. That's sick.
i feel so sad for the thirteen year old girl at the second family, it seems like she actually wants to go to school and also genuinely cares for her brothers. probably her mom doesn't pay attention to her.
Yeah it breaks my heart. I feel like she has potential that could be reached if she could study with kids her own age and not stuck with younger brothers who are disruptive and a mom who isn't qualified to run a classroom. So sad
@Tiffany Patton o god i guess you got no brain! she means to say the girl maybe wants to go to school to study with her aged friends and not with her younger siblings because her mother needs to focus more on the younger ones and thats how she gets ignored , parents can teach you and thats amazing but imagine studying with someone younger and then they will get more attention cuz they're younger and less smart so they have to be explained more whereas you know everything but still have to wait for them to understand! get in into your fat head dumbo!
This is challenging me as an OB nurse. I whole heartedly believe that everyone has the rights to their own body and we cannot force a hysterectomy on someone just for having kids. But the ethical issues that are associated with this is beyond my scope. The kids are clean, fed, and developing accordingly with their milestones. But I have to wonder how this is going to impact the kids mentally in the future. Both positives and negatives.
Mentally, you can tell the kids do not like this set-up. It’s ok to speak on the reality of things. In these women’s cases, a hysterectomy should be advised. The poor children are not doing as well as you think. Feeding, clothing, and housing is the bare minimum a parent must provide, and is not a true indicator of how well a child is doing.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 The man can do a snipsnip as well. To think there was a newspaper article where the man took NO responsibility in his part there...
Like they said, it is also unethical to stop life. And by using contraceptives, hysterectomy etc, it's all hindering a natural process of giving life. Surely, that's an ethical concern which needs to be considered, but the brainwashing has normalised anything that murders babies.
I feel so bad for the 13-year old girl. She is being denied her right of an education and lives in such a stressful household. This mother is not qualified to give them classes and she is sabotaging her daughter's future. I seriously hope that she didn't develop depression in her teen years, she looks so done with it all.
She can teach her kids what she sees fit its not our job to tell someone how to raise their child Edit: July 23rd 2022 After almost 2 years I keep getting harassed because of this comment and insulted. I myself was a teenager when I posted this and while I still think people need to mind their fucking business, the harassment I received because, "People have a right to their opinion" While trying to silence mine? Only proves my point that you people don't know what you are talking about and harass to feel validated. Please for the love of god, get a life and leave me alone. Clearly if you have time to harass a stranger for a comment they made almost 2 years ago you have way too much free time on your hands. And I will add after all the shootings, I've seen on the news lately, I am more determined now than ever to homeschool my children, when my fiancé and I decide we are ready for a family, I will probably homeschooled until they are ready for middle school then put them in public. So they can still form friendships, become more independent and so on.
@@melodiechartier5173 it's not abuse and no you dont have the right to have an opinion over how someone raises their children that girl ia obviously happy and thrilled to have more siblings both the families that are happy its not child abuse whatsoever they can raise the children they created, the way they see fit (as long as it doesnt break the law) you can save your opinions for your children and raise them the way you see fit
@@juliebrown8586 You sound like someone who would enable this kind of situation. I understand that it's difficult to work in school due to distractive students. However, I don't feel like it is appropriate for her to have her siblings disrupting. There should be a strict family and school division otherwise it will cause psychological stress for all of them. Clearly after watching the brief education their mother is providing, I strongly feel that she is being deprived of the potential education she could actually be having. She even looks fed up! I'm not saying homeschooling doesn't work because I know it does. Only if you have a sufficient teacher. Which, the mother clearly is not. Also, just to clarify, that person does have the right to an opinion. Just like you have a right to an opinion. So, don't tell them they can't express how the mother could be better in raising her children.
@@elisestokes7206 actually depending on the school situration my soon to be husband and I have agreed to homeschool our children and I juat think as long as shes not actually.abusing the kids which shes not then people should mind their own business almost every single parent is doing their best to raise their children the best way they can this is what she sees fit and I dont like how the school system is now so it's reasonable for her to teach them and shes doing a good job honestly anyone can be a teacher to their children if they tried my mom wasnt a genius but what she didnt know we learned together and it turned out just dind considering my brother is in college to become a lawyer and I'm going to become a therapist
Sounds like you’ve never had a baby lol. I would take a few days of cramps over months of mild/moderate discomfort followed by the single most painful experience of your life and the worlds longest period/bleeding.
What concerns me is the ability to give each of their children the proper amount of time and attention and the huge amount of responsibility placed on the older children.
What appals me is how none of these parents listen to their children. All the children were saying how they couldn't stand the chaos, the noise, didn't want any more kids. "My parents are addicted to babies." And the parents are like, "I think they love having someone around them all the time, I think they love a big family."
Honestly no kid is gonna be happy about a sibling idk I have 3 kids atm and I am pregnant with another I take care of all my kids by my self and spend alone time with each of them
@@aishahowasis8484I was happy at the beginning not anymore because I always loved babies little kids but not teens not younger siblings it’s fine everybody’s different
So many of the primary school aged children were neglected and under stimulated - both these women need therapy to address their unresolved issues of abandonment and control.
Reminds me of that Nick cannon surely people who keep reproducing are mentally ill using Bible verses or silly beliefs on why they keep on having children this is honestly sickening
Guess just from living in that household the kids are better prepared for the future than their parents. I bet, everyone will be rather on contraception and start a family in their 30s.... They grew basically up all the time with babies... So I am sure they want to have at least 15 years of child-free time.
Agreed....It seems when the parent's age are passed and the now grown-up children will come and visit them, things will be really sad. No attention=no attention. Unfortunately there is no strong bond of the kids to the parent.
My grandma was like this, wanted to have babies but not children. As soon as they were 1-2 years she'd have another one, and just abandoned the older kids to be looked after by my mum who was the eldest.
Omg, I was thinking the same! These are the type of kids that need it the most. Statistically children of women, who have children very young or have a lot of children, also tend to have children young.
Addicted to babies is right. They don’t care about having and raising children and watching them grow up. They just want the babies. But they don’t stay young so they’ve got to keep having them. Selfish and irresponsible. Poor kids.
Ikr like if you just want the babies you might as well give them to a person to trust since you obviously can’t take care of them and it might cause problems for older kids that have to take care of them
I’m the youngest of 7 children (20years old now) Our childhood was rough! After my mums parents started to get ill (when I was little) that put a massive strain on our family and sent my mum into a breakdown. My mum and dads relationship fell apart and she became a single mum. Her dad dying and the stress of the kids were too much to bear, we were neglected and had to be taken away from her. One of the older kids ended up in foster care, and the rest of us forced to live with our dad or sofa surf as a young adult. We all struggled with suicidal tendencies and depressed from the trauma of our childhood and I was raised completely by my siblings. I can’t imagine how hard it was for my older siblings to look after the young ones let alone being in a family double the size! Our childhood has effected us all even into a adulthood. However, the relationship I have with my siblings is absolute amazing. We are all best friends and love spending time with each other now. I truly hope that these family’s get the light at the end of the tunnel as I did. But, their age gaps are a lot larger than ours so being close as adults may be more difficult. Another thing is the house, having 7 kids and keeping a tidy house is almost impossible, with money being very tight and my mum couldn’t afford to get rid of anything and developed hoarding problems. Tidying the house and doing that much loads of washing was unmanageable alone. The house became so cluttered it was honestly a health hazard, we turned up to school regularly unbathed with knotted hair and the wrong shoes on. You can imagine the knock on effect that had to our education, it’s hard to concentrate with the pressure of what’s going on at home.
That was quite a vulnerable share, thank you. Insight into the reality of huge families and the strain and toll it takes on children. It's just so lovely that you all are tight now as adults, and have that love and support for each other. But you paid your dues young, so I hope it paved the roads for your adult life to be smooth and easily traveled. You deserve that!
I have two sisters and as a kid I thought it's a horrible thing, even tho each one of us have a separate room. And when I moved out i realized that family is the best thing and having siblings is not a horrible thing, kids say stuff
I'd be interested in hearing what that eldest daughter in the homeschool family has to say about her family. She looks bored, frustrated, confused and exhausted. The part where both parents go outside and that daughter is left holding two children, one of them crying. In most cases, families this large are a recipe for disaster, especially for the older children. Add homeschooling as bad as this to the mix, & it's downright scary.
She also looked so annoyed by her little brothers in the beggining, imagine having 6 younger brothers and being 13... I hope she has her own room and private space.
If you want a lot of kids you better be able to give each child love, attention, care, a stable home, good environment/ education and for a child to be a child.
This hole Thing is about her having 15 children. *Why is no one talking about the fact that she is 36 years old and have a 22-year-old daughter making her 14 years of age when she had her first kid that is insane*
Sure... yeah... A woman who dropped out of college and then starts obsessively having babies thinks she can do a better job than fully qualified teachers. I feel so so sorry for her kids.
@@altar_girl depends on who teaches you, i was also homeschooled for a time and was ahead Others were not so lucky, only a few were ahead like us, the others (usually from religious households) were far far (years) behind
@@altar_girl I'm glad you had a good homeschooling experience, but that one example does not a rule make. Additionally, I am willing to bet that your parents were more educated and qualified then this woman.
sometimes i´m really happy to life in germany. Our school system isn't the best but everybody is in the same school system so everybody have similar chances to get good education. (sorry, in case there are mistakes in my text, my english isn´t really good)
Selfish parents. How are these children being properly looked after in such a huge family? None of these children have privacy either. I would go insane.
I come from a family of 6. 6 is enough. Arguably too many. But at least with 6 the ages can be well spread out, and there's time for both parents to have one on one time. Rooms weren't cramped due to the age gap, as soon as I hit my tweens 3 siblings were already out. That said, I don't want to have kids of my own. I love my family more than anything in the world. But I think battling for food like we were in the apocalypse scarred me enough to swear off children of my own lmao
As a family of 9 children, I was forgotten a lot (I was #7) there’s really not much time you can spend one on one with your parents. And when you do, you also realize that their attention is not solely going to be directed on you because they also have a lot of other children too. When I was a kid I got left at home once because they didn’t count up all their children when they left to the store. Also, as all adults now there’s a lot of drama and not many of us talk to each other, and there’s a ton of grandchildren now. It’s just a big mess overall. The oldest one of us passed away at 23 years old, and I think it’s made me realize how much I care for the siblings I do have. So even though it’s a big family I wouldn’t want any less siblings than I already have.
I only have one sibling and still sometimes thought that my parents weren't giving me enough time when I was growing up. Now as an adult and having adult conversations with my parents, I had my mom confess that more than once she struggled harshly with being a stay-at-home parent, and my dad telling me of how he lost sleep thinking on how to provide and not being home that much. We were just TWO kids and there were still so many things my parents wished they did differently and things my sibling and I wished they did to connect better with us. Most kids here are still small, but when they start becoming teens and needing new different kind of attention and more space things are gonna get wild. I can only imagine that it already is to the older kids who, for intents and purposes, have to be parents to their youngest siblings, that's a responsibility they didn't ask for. There's more to having kids than giving them food, clothes and shelter, there is no way all those kids are getting their emotional needs met
That uterus is working day and night shifts for a poor living.... Wondering if that body part is not almost in burnout mode.... But soon, menopause hits and finally retirement
I grew up in a family of 13, my mom LOVED being pregnant. Watching this reminded me of the complete chaos, noise, and fights. I was the quiet one that craved attention but always felt a sensory overload. My mom also homeschooled us - but we went into the education system for high-school. Some struggled, some thrived - a social life was impossible as a kid, we had to babysit, do chores, do homework etc. I love and have close bonds with my siblings, but I'm a little bitter I missed a relationship with my mom. She was so focused on the new baby or the new pregnancy, or the chaos on hand; it's not possible to remember the quiet child.
I can only imagine. I had one daughter and I can’t imagine raising and being emotionally invested in more than one child. They deserve undivided attention.
Ikr i feel like after she lost a baby she keeps trying to replace it, but she always think its not enough when the truth is she cant really replace the lost child.
The thing is, most people dont even recognize this as a form of neglect. You cannot have that many children and take care of their emotional needs. Those eldest siblings must be exhausted too
i already have to deal with the aftermath of neglect just because my mom was emotionally immature and couldn’t handle TWO kids. this video makes my skin crawl honestly.
@@fauxcommander I can’t even explain how pissed I am by this. There’s nothing funny about it. These women should be stopped. Putting kids into the world like this should be a crime, specially in those financial circumstances. As someone w an emotionally draining relationship w my parents, and there wasn’t more than 2 of us underage at home living w them, I hate these people. And I realize how strong that word is
@@maraivfrance2557 on the other hand, my mil is a ball of anxiety and would never have given her kids an ounce of privacy if she hadn't had 5 kids. My husband is definitely more well adjusted because his mother couldn't focus just on him and if she had had 7 kids instead of 5, he would probably have been even more well adjusted. Some mothers need to be forced to cut the emotional umbilical. So, yeah, neglectful mothers are bad, but many mothers tend towards the other extreme as well and I can see how having more kids would help those kids emotionally, because they wouldn't be under their mothers microscope all the time.
@@maraivfrance2557 I agree, my mom and dad just kept having babies. I started to take care of them when I was 6 years old. Giving the little ones baths cooking and all that. I was 9 and told my grandmother that I was only going to have 3. Funny thing my grandparents only had small families, just not sure why my parents kept having children
@multi-stan trash I agree, I always was made to look after my younger sisters from a young age and my mom just kept pumping babies out. I was always stressed and upset that my mom didnt care about how much she made me literally parent her own kids.
@Shapri Baddest I am a twelve year old girl going on 13 and I have one older brother and 3 younger and I am stressed and don't get peace but I love them and can manage but sometimes it's so hard
I had twins at 38 weeks naturally in hospital went home the same day. I had breathing problems as well around 27 weeks on because twins take up your whole stomach. They were 7 pounds per baby. Grateful ❤️❤️
there is no way any of these parents can give the healthy amount of time and attention to each individual child to guarantee these children will be psychologically & emotionally sound. what a tragedy
That's exactly what I thought. I have 2 younger sisters and I already struggle to get alone time with our mom. I can't imagine in these families, my god...
I have two little brothers and i dont get alone time with my mom one brother is just 2 months old so mom has to be with him at all time but i still want a sister😂i want my mom to adopt a baby girl cuz she said she is done having kids so i said adopt she says when my brother is 1 year old but i dont believe it but i wipl get her to adopt so yeah I dont know how im going to get any alone time with her if she dose adopt when u had 1 brother i hardly geted alone time with get now i sometimes get alone time with her at 1am when both my brothers are sleeping
A lady who dropped out of school after getting pregnant with her first child takes her kids out of school, one, because she doesn’t agree with early childhood sex education. Is that irony or just plain ignorance? I guarantee those kids know full well where babies come from already.
I think it’s because she doesn’t want to promote any type birth control? If she is pro-life that might be the reason why, because in school they teach you about using protection, ways of not getting pregnant and so on…
Damn man. I'm a middle child in a family with only 3 kids but that middle child syndrome is so real. Even though I've only got 2 other siblings, I felt ignored a lot of the time as a child and I often felt as if I didn't matter as much as my older and younger siblings. I can only imagine how the kids in incredibly large families like these must feel. It breaks my heart. It really does 💔
“She can’t have any more we won’t fit in this house “ Imagine your 7yr old child having more common sense than the adult ... honestly I feel bad for them, that’s an unhealthy environment.
Yeah. They have too many children to give a sufficient amount of attention too individually. I don't care how loving they are or how hard they try, its impossible.
The reason I don’t agree with people having a lot off kids like more then 4 or 5 is because no child will be getting enough attention, time etc which will effect them badly and as the kids say they get no peace no privacy etc it can be tiring and if a child had a mental illness or needs more quite too be able too focus etc this Will be difficult for them too cope and it gets tiring.
its funny how the homeschool mom doesnt want them in public school because of "early sex education" yet your talking to ur first grade child about genocide and war.... but dont want to address how all of your blessings are made...????
She is also giving the same class for children of all ages, probably ranging from 14 to 7. How would that work? Shouldn’t at least the oldest be at school?, Christ
Here’s a red flag three minutes in how they keep on saying they love babies yet never really mentioned their own children when they grow up it’s like they love the euphoria that they get up having a shiny new toy but once it wears off they can’t handle it and want a new one
That's kind of how my mom is. She and my dad had 7 children and my mom loves babies so much, but we were emotionally neglected as children and growing up. It's funny you mention that because I've always thought that way about my mom.
Like people with kittens they want a new kitten cuz its tiny and cute until its 5 or 6 months old when its bigger and when it starts to spray in the house they just throw them outside like garbage and forget about them instead of caring enough to get it fixed and love it its whole life and get a new one . Like this mother she said when they they are 6 to 10 months she starts thinking of having a new one that's fucked up

These parents are beyond selfish. They’ve got this baby fever without considering the fact that they can’t equally care for and love every child, it’s impossible. That mum “teaching” her children is a crime how can you teach a 4 year old and a 13 year old at the same level. I feel so bad for that 13 year old girl she deserves proper education as well as all of them. Smh.
I know right! If they really want big families and love children maybe adopt a few. It seems they are only obsessed with being pregnant and having babies ...baby fever smh
Lol, you guys are all funny 😆 Ronja Hack, I have a large family and people have joked about that kind of thing with me for years. The most common thing I used to get when they were all young was that my doctor should just install a zipper in my stomach to make the c-sections easier 🤦♀️ By big, I mean 4 in 6 years, and #5 4 1/2 years later.
I feel so bad for those kids. They need public school. They need to reach all the school milestones and need to make friends and get a break from the exhaustion. Especially the ones over the age of 8 that are stressed. Poor guys. 😕
NOBODY in their right goddamn mind needs that sheesh it’s possible to make friends with family:(no it doesn’t necessarily have to be a sibling):instead of with strangers during forced unwanted extremely boring as all goddamn hell schooling
Both, mom and dad, are idiots It must be horrible for the oldest kid, because i bet you mom isn't gonna take care of all children on her own... and the fact that she wants to continue having more babies because "loves being pregnat" omg poor children
weird how they talk about the women can't stop having babies. The women presented in the video have a partner who happens to be the dad of these children. So I guess the fathers cannot 'stop having babies' as well. I think the linguistic framing is off either way.
The women hold the child inside them for 9 months. They live in a country where abortion is legal and birth control is readily available. These women are the the ones ultimately choosing to have more children. It’s very evident the men in these relationships are submissive to the woman’s desires.
@I am truly Greg back to my point about women having the easy option to take birth control or get an abortion. The men aren’t “victims.” They’re just submissive to their wives desires to keep having children.
How is he providing for this many children? Now im hearing they have 22 kids! Noway is he providing on that salary. So are they living on benefits? Surely not!?
I actually saw a documentary about the Radford family as the 21st (!!) baby arrived. I actually think that this family is surprisingly happy. The children all seemed well still and the oldest children said that they wouldn‘t want it different 😊
Such a naive thing to believe older kids are happy in family like that. No privacy no attention no escape from home because they’re homeschooled. They might seem happy on cameras but I wouldn’t be surprised if the kids would get depression from it
@@Teshiro Maybe you need to practice your listening comprehension. They have a whole scene where they take the Radford family to school. They are not homeschooled. You know this documentary followed 2 families? Maybe you confused them.
My midwife had 8 and then after 40 no more came and she was very sad for a few years. Then boom, last weeks she delivered her 1st grandbaby and she seems happy as a clam now.
They say not wanting to have children is selfish but when I see these women who ignore health risks and their other children’s needs because being pregnant and nursing is a drug to them, I can’t help myself thinking that this is real selfishness.
I don't think it is selfish to not want babies. What is selfish is having so many, that you can't provide proper care. Those kids need dental work, they need education. Honestly, I am all for big families but this made me sad. Those 14 kids are not being taken care of properly. What job does the parents have?? I guarantee it is not enough to pay for all the needs of their children. I can tell that within the first few minutes of the video. It is disgusting when parents do this. Rely on the government system to take care of your children. Disgusting. I normally am supportive of big families but this is just ridiculous
Even with their now 22 children, the Radfords seem to be the more "normal" family. I never knew that they were both adopted, but it makes sense that they want what they never had before, biological relatives.
“ we will never be lonely “ I think that was really hard for them plus she said she didn’t want to track her biological family for fear of rejection , that’s so sad honestly.
Imagine growing up with zero privacy, a mum that spends 6k on strollers instead of education, parents who suffer SO HARD from being adopted, they spend their entire life on popping out children. These kids will never escape this family bubble or get a job outside of the family business..
The poor teenager getting home schooled.. she’ll miss out on so much - education in EVERY aspect, her actual qualifications that will get her into a college and a university.. this poor girl is being robbed of friendships, experiences and trips.. really feel sorry for her
I just can’t get over the reasoning. Sex education for younger kids usually means telling them a period exists and they’re gonna grow hair. It’s what my primary school did. It’s not worth stopping your kids getting a proper education over. It’s ok if you can provide some kind of qualification but this ain’t it.
Maybe there is a reason behide homeschooling and it's up to the parents what type of schooling their kids have not up to random strangers on the internet...
The mother that had 8 miscarriages seems like she did not get psychological help dealing with that lose so she’s trying to make up for those loses with a new baby
Especially the older ones. They don't have time to enjoy their childhoods because they are forced to take care of the younger kids. They will never have privacy, free time and their parents probably don't even show them much love because they see them as caretakers instead of their children. Parents like these disgust me.
Danica ._. Those parents are literally the worst. Like 1 kid every year? Take care of the first 1-2 baby’s and give them the love and attention they deserve before producing more and more. Jeeeez
One of my close friends has 9! She homeschools and her husband is retired military. They are very calm and great with their babies! I could never do it, more power to these families. God Bless them!
Omg yes. Many people adopt kittens and give them up after they’ve grown older. This is basically what these people are doing with their children. It makes me sick.
I'm the oldest daughter in a family of 12 kids, and I can tell you that a lot of responsibility has been put on me. It's almost like I am their second mom. I'm 15. It's insane how much food we need, and we are usually low on money cause my mom can't work cause she has to take care of all of us (we are homeschooled). But big family hate is a thing, we like never get invited to anything.
I tell my oldest granddaughter that her whole life is open to her to do whatever she wants because she is already experiencing motherhood. She can be a doctor, lawyer, whatever she wants cuz the motherhood thing has already happened for her
So sad for all of these children 👧 👶. What about one on one attention? I think these parents need serious counseling! Are they Mormon or Catholic or just crazy? Makes me angry that they have no self-control! So selfish when you consider the adult lives of these kids!
Honest advice from someone who has been there: therapy (not medications, I mean TALKING about your traumatic childhood- being emotionally neglected is traumatic, but of course nobody intended it to be; it’s not your parents’ fault your needs weren’t met, but it still affects us) will save your life. Life is so long, and if you can’t access therapy yet, don’t panic, but work towards it as hard as you work to get to college and get out. The longer you have to wait to start therapy, the longer your recovery time will be, but it’s not too bad; you CAN live a happy life of your own and you deserve to! ❤️
i understand this. i only have one sibling, but lots of cousins. and anytime i see them (the longest i have gone without seeing them was a week and that was because i went on vacation) i am the babysitter. once i went to the restroom and my aunt got mad at me for leaving them for 5 minutes to go to the restroom. so believe me. i understand. you got this! i believe in you!
My grandma had 11 siblings (4 boys and 7 girls) . She had to share a room with 6 people as she only had a 3 bedroom house. She got almost nothing for Christmas and when 16, everyone had to have a job. She said it was so hard for her and her mental health, she loves her life now and is probably the most successful out of them all (she was the 4th youngest)
I'm the second oldest (6 kids, me included) and I always felt like my parents didn't give me much attention. I can't imagine how some of these kids feel. There's no way you can give each kid the love and attention they need
Heck I am # 2 out of 3 kids and the only one without neurodivergence, and even my mom will admit that there were a lot of times I didn't get the same attention my siblings did. It's probably mild compared to your situation, but I can't even imagine the neglect these kids feel
@@m82s01l I wonder if all of your siblings feel the same. I came from a large family and friends of mine that came from large families all realized there is only so much time and attention that can be had. I didn't really care to have any extra personal attention but my younger sis STILL wishes she could have more attention from our mom....and we're in our 40s.
homeschool? All her children r different ages, they shouldn't be learning the same thing? She pulled her kids out bc they were learning sex ad, maybe she should have sit in on a class herself.
Probably some crazy indoctrination going on there too. That poor oldest girl looks so done with homeschool and reading the bible everyday. I hope she has friends she can hang out with outside of that house because it looks like she never leaves.
Considering the oldest children are still at home I'm sure they feel like they can't leave because of the hardship it would put on the parents from the lack of the help they provide which means putting thier own lives and dreams on hold to fulfill the unhealthy addiction of her parents needs to keep producing more.
He says he hates a big family , but take them all away and he’s miss them terribly . They really do run a wonderful daily life, dinner together , school lunches, and just overall love you can see . Hard work and dedication from mom and dad. ❤
@@lunalove9395 Yep, quite a bit of times, that's the case, because they viewed it as normal. Me and one of my cousins on the other hand, saw it as a generational curse. Her grandmother had her mom at 13, her mom had her at 13, and she had her first child at 27. My grandmother had my mom at 16, my mom had me at 18 and I had my 1st at 25. I think it's also a matter of stepping outside our immediate circle, and seeing what's normal for the average person or even seeing what's normal for the rich.
The real issue is you simply don't have the time to give each kid the attention they need to grow up mentally healthy. Even two kids can stretch that sometimes. It's irresponsible and selfish to have this many children. It's not about them, it's just about the parents. At what point does this become child abuse?
Only thing I don't understand is why they can't enjoy the children they already have, they're putting their health at risk and if something happens to them, then what?
I cannot imagine how someone could possibly want to live like this and I have no idea how they're able to afford it. You cannot possibly tell me that all these kids go on vacations or have enough toys or clothes or their own or that they'll go to university. The first woman had her first child (now 22 year old) at 14! Being pregnant and a mom is part of her identity now that's why she can't stop having children. This is not something to glorify for any reason, this is a deep-rooted issue that started from when she was a child herself and was still developing a sense of identity and purpose. Now it makes sense.
Even without vacations, toys, clothes, or university these kids will be lacking. I know a 4 now 5 yo who has various adults in her life and yet took an instant liking to me because I listen to her. I remember my sister always complained that no one listens to her. I remember my own complaint about my Mom works so much she doesn't listen to us. How much listening is occurring in these households or are the children self- sensoring all their thoughts because they have to weigh every single one of them against thre barrier of "is my opinion/observation/question on how things work really with taking away Mom's time or is someone else more important than what I want to say"? Repeat that a couple times a day everyday for a lifetime and see how functional the child grows up to be.
Kerianne Kerr i’m a child of 2 and have never been on holiday. there are more important things than material objects. these children are well behaved and well looked after. just because you don’t like the look fo things doesn’t mean it’s inherently wrong, your opinion is not fact.
You should watch their show. They each have their own toys, they go on vacations at least every year if not every other year. Noel has his own business making pies. Their older kids even work at the business. The kids absolutely love it! They have 21 kids now I think
I guess you haven't watched that Ugandan mother with 38 kids? She is a single mother but still managed to raise all her kids even in the poorest place here on earth.
Jennifer Marie they receive no money from the government and it’s not easy to qualify at all. i’ve seen the poorest people struggle with no help from the govt as they don’t qualify. please research before assuming
the home schooling is just awful. the 13 year old is probably already like learning nothing. i cant imagine the laundry, how long it takes to get dishes done
You're so smart, spirit! You've understood that homeschool lessons take far less time, and that the kids learn far more than those in school. You've heard that homeschooled kids outperform kids who go to school, on standardized tests. You're well informed, aren't you?
@@rubynibs Every single person I known whose been homeschooled became socially stunted and behind in every subject once they went to a regular high school. Some of them literally had to be put in the special ed math classes to catch up. One of my friends was homeschooled, and they were so horrifically behind in math and English especially, and couldn't pass the simplest of science classes.
Ruby Nibs You talk about people being uninformed as if the studies you speak of are clear cut. Most of the studies where they compare the results of home schooled children with those of non-home schooled children rely heavily on parents opting for their home schooled children to take part. They also have major issues in reliability as it’s known that parents often take these tests on behalf of their children. Even worse, unstructured home schooling methods like ‘unschooling’ are often left out of these studies entirely. Moreover, even *if* most children were to perform better in a home environment, this would not excuse the cases of other children being completely failed by their parents and left with a clearly unsatisfactory education (as is the case here). I think before desperately attacking people online you should therefore consider that perhaps other people are informed,(maybe even more so than yourself), and have a justifiable opinion that is contrary to your own.
As a kid whom is and has been homeschooled her whole life I can say, homeschooling is nothing like that. They need to run them off a program, it would give them the work they need for their grade levels. A 14 year old learning what an 8 year old is learning is just horrible, that child isn't going to learn anything.
here's some homeschooling advice: you don't teach 7th grade subjects to 3rd and 4th graders and kindergartners, as well as 11th graders.... teach them the subjects they need to be learning at their age and stop generalizing. Plus just copy a public school schedule from the internet and get rid of the topics you find inap like education on ... and so on EDIT #1: You could send them to kumon for math and english difficulties so that they can have structure and still have a somewhat normal classroom experience and direct communication with friends and teachers.
That's literally my life rn. I have too much priorities to do other than taking care and watching over my 5 siblings. Sometimes, I don't feel like my parents appreciate me even though I'm the one doing all the work they're supposed to do. Even if I would try to make them proud a million times, they wouldn't give me the impression I want. Right now, I'm struggling with mental illnesses and I mostly struggled with overwork, depression, anxiety, and good child syndrome and I don't even know myself yet or what I am. I didn't have time to make friends and now that I'm 15, I am so shy to strangers and I don't want to meet new people. And rn, my mom just gave birth to another baby but I'm not mad just kinda sad and happy.

i cant believe that there are people who still feel this way. Sorry, but your opinion is an outdated one. The only 'socializing' going on in a public school is the wrong kind. When you are 'allowed' to talk, its to kids your own age. No interaction with different ages, let alone adults. Homeschooled children are MORE socialized than regular schooled kids.
@@rzferre7966 aw th at sucks that your parents don't a llow you to be a kid. . As someone else who struggles w social anxiety what helps is just going out and about in the world. talking to people about boring stuff n all
i don’t think you should have kids cause you just “like being pregnant”, or “you like babies”. you should have one because your household is ready for a new addition imo. i think you really need to think about how it will effect your children, especially in the long run. they need space to grow & be themselves, they need alone time, they need opportunities, a proper education, lots of love & attention from their parents, etc.
@@marishields7571 how i choose to express myself doesn’t necessarily determine the value/significance of my words or ideas (and in many cases, neither does my age, by the way). it was just a thought i wrote down quickly after doing some reflecting. so yeah, i used an abbreviation. i don’t see how this is at all important, but sorry it you didn’t understand it, i guess.
i’m not against large families, but i’m against the parents failing to adjust, take the school lesson for example- she was attempting to teach ages 4-13 the same subject, u can’t do that, hire someone to help you, adjust to the situation
@John Freddy its just simply impossible for parents to give all their children the same amount of attention when there are that many kids. Because of that the eldest kids always end up getting roped into being care takers to the younger kids, thus depriving them of years of getting to just be a child.
I’m the youngest of 10, my mom was the oldest of 9 and her dad was a middle child in a family of 13. Screw anyone that doesn’t like it! We all loved growing up in a big family! We always had someone to play with. My mom was an Angel and was a wonderful mother! My dad was never afraid of hard work!
You are both so lucky to have such a amazing loving family you both have something that money can not bry I would love to live next door to you take care sending lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤
I’m not condoning or condemning their large families but education, including college/university in most developed countries is extremely cheap or free. Your comment suggests you’re from the US, in which college is exorbitantly priced, which is not the case in the UK.
Those poor children, this is really heartbreaking to watch. Especially poor Caitlin, she really looks like she’s struggling. And without a formal education, it will be so hard for her to escape her upbringing
I’m the second of 7 kids and my younger siblings all suffer from a learning need or a disability it’s hard to be living all under one roof but I’m glad my parents didn’t make me feel like I had to look after them for them I always feel as I’m helping and not a second mother I’m happy my family are happy as large as we are we never have a dull moment ❤❤❤❤
My mother has 13 brothers and sisters. In those family the real parents are the oldest sibling. When my oldest aunt died most of them said they just had lost their mother.
Same. My oldest aunt (of 13) is like my grandmother and my mom is the youngest so she pretty much raised my mom. My grandparents passed when my mom was young so I know that whenever she passes it'll definitely feel that way.
@@chickenlover657 Its unclear to whom you're speaking, its unclear why you feel you have any say in what is or isnt true in a total strangers life, its unclear why you're so damned rude, and its unclear why you felt the *need* to be so rude in the first and second place - is that CLEAR enough for you?
Everything is center around the mother. When the kids are crying they do nothing to comfort them. All attention has to constantly stay on mummy and her preggies. Very hard to watch this.
@Jerseygirl8999 m its not about her anymore, its about all these children not getting the attention they deserve as individuals. They are selfish, both the mom and the dad.
"It's a drug having babies!" Yep, but after they're babies, they're full grown children and then adults. Does the interest just decrease after they're not helpless little babies anymore?
unfortunately, yes. this is how I grew up as a child and it made me think that the older you got, the less people cared about you. so I feared every single birthday. I feared growing up. these people shouldn't be parents.
I can tell you now love that you’re holding your children back. Your daughter is being held back and she will struggle in the future as you’re not covering her education properly. She will end up resenting you and you will lose her. Also the family of 14 must have had fun during the 2 toilet roll per family rule
@Vexy Star Yes it's mandatory, but in the UK people have the legal right to teach their child at home (home-schooling, home education) But I'm sure they have to meet certain requirements and adhere to regulations. However, saying that, many parents are probably getting away with it (like this mother) as there's no way of thoroughly checking...
Vexy Star as long as you can prove that you are educating your children at home, they make you do tests I believe, you can educate your children at home
@Vexy Star in the UK you have to provide your kids with an education. If you choose to home educate you can teach them how and what you want as long as you are providing some sort of education. I home educate and we are VERY academically focused but we are an oddity. In fact, we are looked down on by other home Ed families because we have some formal education. I decided to home Ed because I felt schools weren’t good enough. I wanted my children to do the best they were able at their speed without being held back by slower kids or left behind by quicker kids. Most of the other home Ed families seem to have children with extra needs the schools didn’t help with and they don’t do formal educating at all. And though I keep all of our work, workbooks, tests, awards and records from sports and clubs and the daily itineraries and have since the beginning, no one has ever come to check what we are doing. So it’s either no involvement from the local councils or they are completely ignorant of their remit and overstep their boundaries and it’s up to the parents to teach them the actual laws. There, home education in the UK.
The one who’s exhausted is not the mother or father. It’s the eldest kids. 🥴
Yes. No sleep, no space, no school for escape.
And that's why they will jsut keep having them because that way they ain't really dealing with it the kids are
Luna MLE ikr. Because the big kids are suppose to be “RESPONSIBLE”. UGH.
Luna MLE exactly
The father has to work himself to death to feed that many people! However I feel worse for the children. The father had the choice to blow his load in the mother but the children had no choice in coming out of her.
The woman complains about how her biological mother gave her up for adoption and made her feel unwanted but she doesn't realize that the lack of attention she gives to her kids is making them feel unwanted too.

(Why do I sound toxic!?)
"Having more babies is worth the risk." Really? Because um. Pretty sure your children would rather have their mother than another sibling. That mentality is actually scary.
It's an addiction, and they're treating it with what the mothers' are addicted to. Hearing them say it's worth the risk is like hearing a heroin addict say it's worth the risk. It'll never not be worth the risk unless something really, really drastic happens. And it can't just be their lives at risk because, again, addict mentality.
They are religious and live what the Bible says. "Fill the Earth.." or something like that. No birth control, God forbid abortion, so what do you do? You keep on having child after child. They live their convictions. And they are all healthy children, which is great.
What I like less is that chaos is seen as normal. If you decide to have this many children, you have to give them other kind of attention and group occupations and clear responsibilities so they form a team and so they can get something from being one of many :).
Lot of screaming, fighting, rivalry and not having enough peaceful time at home is not good.
@@majdavojnikovic the big "risk" I'm talking about is her life. I get why she's doing this, but if she ends up dying, she is leaving a husband by himself with all these mourning children. Does their God really want them to have children until she dies young and abandons her children? What is the point of that? I'm not even against her having a large family. That is fine. But when a doctor is telling you that death is knocking, I think you should take a second to seriously think.
@@brandym3926 I agree with you, for me this is not responsible behaviour,
but you could see how they both rationalize their choices. One with way to cope with trauma of being adopted ("not wanted"), other one with following the Bible.
As they themselves assume, it sure looks like a kind of addiction.
If it is addiction, addicts don't think rationally, or can rationally address risks.
What is also tragic is that all those children have nothing to say about all of it.
@@majdavojnikovic absolutely.
Having a kid at the age of 14 is something I can't even imagine, let alone a whole army of them. It's absolutely insane, the elder kids must feel so neglected ngl.

The dark truth behind these families is how much responsibility is put on the older kids....
This!! 👏🏾
amen
Yeah its like a form of child abuse, i find it disgusting.
Not fair to them at all
It's not shown, but im sure majority of the responsibility is on the older kids to take care of most of the younger kids. Wbile the mother and father focus mainly on the youngest ones. I've seen it a million times on different TV shows. The older children are unhappy and exhausted, just not living the life a young person should live. And then, it makes them not even want kids.
I'm not against big families but having many children and not being able to give each one the best future possible is just not right.
exactly. Make as many kids as you want until you can afford everything they need and give them proper childhood, which in such a big family is just impossible. 0 silence, 0 or very little contact with mom, babysitting until you move out. That's sick.

This is challenging me as an OB nurse. I whole heartedly believe that everyone has the rights to their own body and we cannot force a hysterectomy on someone just for having kids. But the ethical issues that are associated with this is beyond my scope.
The kids are clean, fed, and developing accordingly with their milestones. But I have to wonder how this is going to impact the kids mentally in the future. Both positives and negatives.
Mentally, you can tell the kids do not like this set-up. It’s ok to speak on the reality of things. In these women’s cases, a hysterectomy should be advised. The poor children are not doing as well as you think. Feeding, clothing, and housing is the bare minimum a parent must provide, and is not a true indicator of how well a child is doing.
@@tiahnarodriguez3809 The man can do a snipsnip as well. To think there was a newspaper article where the man took NO responsibility in his part there...
Like they said, it is also unethical to stop life. And by using contraceptives, hysterectomy etc, it's all hindering a natural process of giving life. Surely, that's an ethical concern which needs to be considered, but the brainwashing has normalised anything that murders babies.

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

"My parents are addicted to babies." And the parents are like, "I think they love having someone around them all the time, I think they love a big family."

It is not the kids that are the problem. More like who in their right mind would want a dozen when they are NOT CAPABLE of taking care of even one.
Some people can't control their mating instincts. 🤷🏼♂️ Woman: NEXT!
A lady, addicted to having children, does not believe sexual education at the beginning of puberty is appropriate.... 🤦🏾♀️
Omg, I was thinking the same! These are the type of kids that need it the most. Statistically children of women, who have children very young or have a lot of children, also tend to have children young.
the irony
some people are really dumb 😂
LOLOLOL!!!
She wants something different for her children what’s ur problem
Addicted to babies is right. They don’t care about having and raising children and watching them grow up. They just want the babies. But they don’t stay young so they’ve got to keep having them. Selfish and irresponsible. Poor kids.
Ikr like if you just want the babies you might as well give them to a person to trust since you obviously can’t take care of them and it might cause problems for older kids that have to take care of them
They should just get a silicons baby
100% agree
People that just like being pregnant should just be a surrogate
Right? Then those poor older kids have to take care of them despite still being kids themselves
should just work in the early childhood industry...

Just replace "older" with "younger".

Simple... But effective 👀
I’m the youngest of 7 children (20years old now) Our childhood was rough! After my mums parents started to get ill (when I was little) that put a massive strain on our family and sent my mum into a breakdown. My mum and dads relationship fell apart and she became a single mum. Her dad dying and the stress of the kids were too much to bear, we were neglected and had to be taken away from her. One of the older kids ended up in foster care, and the rest of us forced to live with our dad or sofa surf as a young adult. We all struggled with suicidal tendencies and depressed from the trauma of our childhood and I was raised completely by my siblings. I can’t imagine how hard it was for my older siblings to look after the young ones let alone being in a family double the size! Our childhood has effected us all even into a adulthood. However, the relationship I have with my siblings is absolute amazing. We are all best friends and love spending time with each other now. I truly hope that these family’s get the light at the end of the tunnel as I did. But, their age gaps are a lot larger than ours so being close as adults may be more difficult. Another thing is the house, having 7 kids and keeping a tidy house is almost impossible, with money being very tight and my mum couldn’t afford to get rid of anything and developed hoarding problems. Tidying the house and doing that much loads of washing was unmanageable alone. The house became so cluttered it was honestly a health hazard, we turned up to school regularly unbathed with knotted hair and the wrong shoes on. You can imagine the knock on effect that had to our education, it’s hard to concentrate with the pressure of what’s going on at home.
I’m so sorry you had to go through this. ❤❤❤❤❤❤I’m sending a lot of love your way ❤❤❤❤
That was quite a vulnerable share, thank you. Insight into the reality of huge families and the strain and toll it takes on children. It's just so lovely that you all are tight now as adults, and have that love and support for each other. But you paid your dues young, so I hope it paved the roads for your adult life to be smooth and easily traveled. You deserve that!
I'm the oldest of 8 and yes you described it all so well

The Far Away Family to be fair, kids in EVERY size family says it’s horrible/the worst/etc 😂that’s just kids for ya
I thought it was horrible I only had one sibling. I wanted a sister. Its definitely a kid thing lol.
@Bowser 17 Same. I only have a sister. I want a brother. Lol
Living in a big family is really beautiful and interesting. You will not know it until you experience it.
I have two sisters and as a kid I thought it's a horrible thing, even tho each one of us have a separate room. And when I moved out i realized that family is the best thing and having siblings is not a horrible thing, kids say stuff
I'd be interested in hearing what that eldest daughter in the homeschool family has to say about her family. She looks bored, frustrated, confused and exhausted. The part where both parents go outside and that daughter is left holding two children, one of them crying. In most cases, families this large are a recipe for disaster, especially for the older children. Add homeschooling as bad as this to the mix, & it's downright scary.
I was concerned about the oldest girl in that family.
They most definitely homeschooled for that reason
She also looked so annoyed by her little brothers in the beggining, imagine having 6 younger brothers and being 13... I hope she has her own room and private space.
They have a RUclips channel, the Radcliffe family 😊
They have 22 kids now!
If you want a lot of kids you better be able to give each child love, attention, care, a stable home, good environment/ education and for a child to be a child.
This hole Thing is about her having 15 children.
*Why is no one talking about the fact that she is 36 years old and have a 22-year-old daughter making her 14 years of age when she had her first kid that is insane*
I was thinking the same thing scary
That tells you, it’s more than just having kids.. she has a problem that she thinks having babies will fix so she keeps chasing that feeling.
Obviously ur not listening, she did say she got pregnant at 14
Thought it was me alone noticed that
And her husband was like 18
Sure... yeah... A woman who dropped out of college and then starts obsessively having babies thinks she can do a better job than fully qualified teachers. I feel so so sorry for her kids.

@@altar_girl depends on who teaches you, i was also homeschooled for a time and was ahead
Others were not so lucky, only a few were ahead like us, the others (usually from religious households) were far far (years) behind

@@altar_girl I'm glad you had a good homeschooling experience, but that one example does not a rule make. Additionally, I am willing to bet that your parents were more educated and qualified then this woman.

Selfish parents. How are these children being properly looked after in such a huge family? None of these children have privacy either. I would go insane.
Thank you!
Excalty! I can’t imagine how suffocating and irritating it would be to be stuck in a house with a family of 13 during this pandemic 😭
I come from a family of 6. 6 is enough. Arguably too many. But at least with 6 the ages can be well spread out, and there's time for both parents to have one on one time. Rooms weren't cramped due to the age gap, as soon as I hit my tweens 3 siblings were already out.
That said, I don't want to have kids of my own. I love my family more than anything in the world. But I think battling for food like we were in the apocalypse scarred me enough to swear off children of my own lmao
As a family of 9 children, I was forgotten a lot (I was #7) there’s really not much time you can spend one on one with your parents. And when you do, you also realize that their attention is not solely going to be directed on you because they also have a lot of other children too. When I was a kid I got left at home once because they didn’t count up all their children when they left to the store. Also, as all adults now there’s a lot of drama and not many of us talk to each other, and there’s a ton of grandchildren now. It’s just a big mess overall. The oldest one of us passed away at 23 years old, and I think it’s made me realize how much I care for the siblings I do have. So even though it’s a big family I wouldn’t want any less siblings than I already have.
apocalypse 😂😂 that was funny
I only have one sibling and still sometimes thought that my parents weren't giving me enough time when I was growing up. Now as an adult and having adult conversations with my parents, I had my mom confess that more than once she struggled harshly with being a stay-at-home parent, and my dad telling me of how he lost sleep thinking on how to provide and not being home that much. We were just TWO kids and there were still so many things my parents wished they did differently and things my sibling and I wished they did to connect better with us.
Most kids here are still small, but when they start becoming teens and needing new different kind of attention and more space things are gonna get wild. I can only imagine that it already is to the older kids who, for intents and purposes, have to be parents to their youngest siblings, that's a responsibility they didn't ask for. There's more to having kids than giving them food, clothes and shelter, there is no way all those kids are getting their emotional needs met

I grew up in a family of 13, my mom LOVED being pregnant. Watching this reminded me of the complete chaos, noise, and fights.
I was the quiet one that craved attention but always felt a sensory overload.
My mom also homeschooled us - but we went into the education system for high-school. Some struggled, some thrived - a social life was impossible as a kid, we had to babysit, do chores, do homework etc.
I love and have close bonds with my siblings, but I'm a little bitter I missed a relationship with my mom. She was so focused on the new baby or the new pregnancy, or the chaos on hand; it's not possible to remember the quiet child.
that sounds really rough. :(
I’m sorry to hear that, Monica. :(
☹
Thank you for sharing your experience. I hope others with hopes of giant families come across this.
I can only imagine. I had one daughter and I can’t imagine raising and being emotionally invested in more than one child. They deserve undivided attention.
"Sue's been pregnant almost her entire adult life"
My guy? She got pregnant at 14? She's been pregnant the ENTIRETY of her adult life
14 is barely even a teenager to make it worse...
😆
They all need therapy, not more babies. It seems they are trying to treat their different traumas with more babies
Ikr i feel like after she lost a baby she keeps trying to replace it, but she always think its not enough when the truth is she cant really replace the lost child.
Totally agree with you 🤔
The thing is, most people dont even recognize this as a form of neglect. You cannot have that many children and take care of their emotional needs. Those eldest siblings must be exhausted too
i already have to deal with the aftermath of neglect just because my mom was emotionally immature and couldn’t handle TWO kids. this video makes my skin crawl honestly.
@@fauxcommander I can’t even explain how pissed I am by this. There’s nothing funny about it. These women should be stopped. Putting kids into the world like this should be a crime, specially in those financial circumstances.

@@maraivfrance2557 I absolutely agree! I hope you’re doing well 💖
@@maraivfrance2557 on the other hand, my mil is a ball of anxiety and would never have given her kids an ounce of privacy if she hadn't had 5 kids. My husband is definitely more well adjusted because his mother couldn't focus just on him and if she had had 7 kids instead of 5, he would probably have been even more well adjusted. Some mothers need to be forced to cut the emotional umbilical. So, yeah, neglectful mothers are bad, but many mothers tend towards the other extreme as well and I can see how having more kids would help those kids emotionally, because they wouldn't be under their mothers microscope all the time.
@@maraivfrance2557 I agree, my mom and dad just kept having babies. I started to take care of them when I was 6 years old. Giving the little ones baths cooking and all that. I was 9 and told my grandmother that I was only going to have 3. Funny thing my grandparents only had small families, just not sure why my parents kept having children
I feel so bad for the 13 year old girl, She must be so stressed :(
@multi-stan trash I agree, I always was made to look after my younger sisters from a young age and my mom just kept pumping babies out. I was always stressed and upset that my mom didnt care about how much she made me literally parent her own kids.

Same here also had twin girls naturally 19 years ago and went home the same day ❤

Exactly, it's a 2021 and almost every kid in the US has access to the internet
Oh, yes, probably home birthing too. So of course they know. She doesn't want them to know about birth control may be the real reason.
the oldest daughter looks so defeated, i can tell that she wants to learn and is upset that she isn't being given the opportunity :(
I think it’s because she doesn’t want to promote any type birth control? If she is pro-life that might be the reason why, because in school they teach you about using protection, ways of not getting pregnant and so on…
@@teresa6387 So it's irony, then. That's what I had my money on.
Damn man. I'm a middle child in a family with only 3 kids but that middle child syndrome is so real. Even though I've only got 2 other siblings, I felt ignored a lot of the time as a child and I often felt as if I didn't matter as much as my older and younger siblings. I can only imagine how the kids in incredibly large families like these must feel. It breaks my heart. It really does 💔
I was 2nd out of 5 ,so thought it sucked that I didn't even get to be the middle child.
a lot of them probably have middle child syndrome
“She can’t have any more we won’t fit in this house “ Imagine your 7yr old child having more common sense than the adult ... honestly I feel bad for them, that’s an unhealthy environment.
Her mental shaped by her own HUGE family.
Yeah. They have too many children to give a sufficient amount of attention too individually. I don't care how loving they are or how hard they try, its impossible.
The reason I don’t agree with people having a lot off kids like more then 4 or 5 is because no child will be getting enough attention, time etc which will effect them badly and as the kids say they get no peace no privacy etc it can be tiring and if a child had a mental illness or needs more quite too be able too focus etc this Will be difficult for them too cope and it gets tiring.

Yea i thought these were going to be single moms who keep having children. Not couples...
The women hold the child inside them for 9 months. They live in a country where abortion is legal and birth control is readily available. These women are the the ones ultimately choosing to have more children. It’s very evident the men in these relationships are submissive to the woman’s desires.
@I am truly Greg back to my point about women having the easy option to take birth control or get an abortion. The men aren’t “victims.” They’re just submissive to their wives desires to keep having children.

They don't even breastfeed they just give shitty bottles
Not have children is a choice. Sometimes a very educated, loving and responsible choice.
I don't think it is selfish to not want babies. What is selfish is having so many, that you can't provide proper care. Those kids need dental work, they need education. Honestly, I am all for big families but this made me sad. Those 14 kids are not being taken care of properly. What job does the parents have?? I guarantee it is not enough to pay for all the needs of their children. I can tell that within the first few minutes of the video. It is disgusting when parents do this. Rely on the government system to take care of your children. Disgusting. I normally am supportive of big families but this is just ridiculous
Amen to that!
the world is so populated, having this many kids is purely selfish.
Even with their now 22 children, the Radfords seem to be the more "normal" family. I never knew that they were both adopted, but it makes sense that they want what they never had before, biological relatives.
Ur right
Exactly they said “you’re never alone” “you’ll always have each other “
“ we will never be lonely “ I think that was really hard for them plus she said she didn’t want to track her biological family for fear of rejection , that’s so sad honestly.
They don’t have 22 children , they have 14/15
Jaleia Adams this was filmed a while ago now they have significantly more children
Imagine growing up with zero privacy, a mum that spends 6k on strollers instead of education, parents who suffer SO HARD from being adopted, they spend their entire life on popping out children. These kids will never escape this family bubble or get a job outside of the family business..
The poor teenager getting home schooled.. she’ll miss out on so much - education in EVERY aspect, her actual qualifications that will get her into a college and a university.. this poor girl is being robbed of friendships, experiences and trips.. really feel sorry for her
I just can’t get over the reasoning. Sex education for younger kids usually
means telling them a period exists and they’re gonna grow hair. It’s what my primary school did. It’s not worth stopping your kids getting a proper education over. It’s ok if you can provide some kind of qualification but this ain’t it.
If anything she should go to school she’d be gone at least 7 hours so the mom can get dinner ready and everything
I feel sorry for them all
Yes...
Maybe there is a reason behide homeschooling and it's up to the parents what type of schooling their kids have not up to random strangers on the internet...
The mother that had 8 miscarriages seems like she did not get psychological help dealing with that lose so she’s trying to make up for those loses with a new baby
Do they ever think how the children feel ! No privacy no alone time, no peace ! How selfish !
Especially the older ones. They don't have time to enjoy their childhoods because they are forced to take care of the younger kids. They will never have privacy, free time and their parents probably don't even show them much love because they see them as caretakers instead of their children. Parents like these disgust me.
Yes I agree.. they don't even have peace ..not for a single day

Honest advice from someone who has been there: therapy (not medications, I mean TALKING about your traumatic childhood- being emotionally neglected is traumatic, but of course nobody intended it to be; it’s not your parents’ fault your needs weren’t met, but it still affects us) will save your life. Life is so long, and if you can’t access therapy yet, don’t panic, but work towards it as hard as you work to get to college and get out. The longer you have to wait to start therapy, the longer your recovery time will be, but it’s not too bad; you CAN live a happy life of your own and you deserve to! ❤️
i understand this. i only have one sibling, but lots of cousins. and anytime i see them (the longest i have gone without seeing them was a week and that was because i went on vacation) i am the babysitter. once i went to the restroom and my aunt got mad at me for leaving them for 5 minutes to go to the restroom. so believe me. i understand. you got this! i believe in you!
My grandma had 11 siblings (4 boys and 7 girls) . She had to share a room with 6 people as she only had a 3 bedroom house. She got almost nothing for Christmas and when 16, everyone had to have a job. She said it was so hard for her and her mental health, she loves her life now and is probably the most successful out of them all (she was the 4th youngest)
I'm the second oldest (6 kids, me included) and I always felt like my parents didn't give me much attention. I can't imagine how some of these kids feel. There's no way you can give each kid the love and attention they need
Heck I am # 2 out of 3 kids and the only one without neurodivergence, and even my mom will admit that there were a lot of times I didn't get the same attention my siblings did. It's probably mild compared to your situation, but I can't even imagine the neglect these kids feel
I have 8 siblings and we had plenty of attention and both parents worked.
@@m82s01l I wonder if all of your siblings feel the same. I came from a large family and friends of mine that came from large families all realized there is only so much time and attention that can be had. I didn't really care to have any extra personal attention but my younger sis STILL wishes she could have more attention from our mom....and we're in our 40s.
@@m82s01l yeah youre also a liar lmao
I don’t know I’m number 2 out of 8 kids and everyone felt love and attention and we even went on family vacations. My mom is a single parent also
homeschool? All her children r different ages, they shouldn't be learning the same thing? She pulled her kids out bc they were learning sex ad, maybe she should have sit in on a class herself.
Those kids will have no future if she keeps it up.
Probably some crazy indoctrination going on there too. That poor oldest girl looks so done with homeschool and reading the bible everyday. I hope she has friends she can hang out with outside of that house because it looks like she never leaves.

I'd love to see a follow up documentary done in 10 or 15 years to see where these kids are and how they made out in life.

@@MultiEve35 yah and one of the kids was a still born I think.
Considering the oldest children are still at home I'm sure they feel like they can't leave because of the hardship it would put on the parents from the lack of the help they provide which means putting thier own lives and dreams on hold to fulfill the unhealthy addiction of her parents needs to keep producing more.

Luckily, she actually does look after her own children.

@@lunalove9395 Yep, quite a bit of times, that's the case, because they viewed it as normal. Me and one of my cousins on the other hand, saw it as a generational curse. Her grandmother had her mom at 13, her mom had her at 13, and she had her first child at 27. My grandmother had my mom at 16, my mom had me at 18 and I had my 1st at 25.
I think it's also a matter of stepping outside our immediate circle, and seeing what's normal for the average person or even seeing what's normal for the rich.
XDDDDDDD
I thought exactly the same thing 🤦🏽♀️
The real issue is you simply don't have the time to give each kid the attention they need to grow up mentally healthy. Even two kids can stretch that sometimes. It's irresponsible and selfish to have this many children. It's not about them, it's just about the parents. At what point does this become child abuse?
I have 4 two are twins if you are able to take good care of them I don't see it as abuse tbh
What like it's not already child abuse? Maybe at 6, I think that should be the biggest limit to having kids cause I heard of sextuples cases.
Only thing I don't understand is why they can't enjoy the children they already have, they're putting their health at risk and if something happens to them, then what?
Aja Monique then the oldest will have to take on more than they already do and make sacrifices kids should not have to make.
Especially since they're Catholics. Those hospitals will let the mom die to save the babies.
Aja Monique maybe once they grow up you’ll have no one to look after
They are selfish
MissJoJo it’s not selfish at all the kids are so happy you can tell. You’re just blind
I cannot imagine how someone could possibly want to live like this and I have no idea how they're able to afford it. You cannot possibly tell me that all these kids go on vacations or have enough toys or clothes or their own or that they'll go to university. The first woman had her first child (now 22 year old) at 14! Being pregnant and a mom is part of her identity now that's why she can't stop having children. This is not something to glorify for any reason, this is a deep-rooted issue that started from when she was a child herself and was still developing a sense of identity and purpose. Now it makes sense.
Even without vacations, toys, clothes, or university these kids will be lacking. I know a 4 now 5 yo who has various adults in her life and yet took an instant liking to me because I listen to her. I remember my sister always complained that no one listens to her. I remember my own complaint about my Mom works so much she doesn't listen to us. How much listening is occurring in these households or are the children self- sensoring all their thoughts because they have to weigh every single one of them against thre barrier of "is my opinion/observation/question on how things work really with taking away Mom's time or is someone else more important than what I want to say"? Repeat that a couple times a day everyday for a lifetime and see how functional the child grows up to be.
Kerianne Kerr i’m a child of 2 and have never been on holiday. there are more important things than material objects. these children are well behaved and well looked after. just because you don’t like the look fo things doesn’t mean it’s inherently wrong, your opinion is not fact.
You should watch their show. They each have their own toys, they go on vacations at least every year if not every other year. Noel has his own business making pies. Their older kids even work at the business. The kids absolutely love it! They have 21 kids now I think
I guess you haven't watched that Ugandan mother with 38 kids? She is a single mother but still managed to raise all her kids even in the poorest place here on earth.
Jennifer Marie they receive no money from the government and it’s not easy to qualify at all. i’ve seen the poorest people struggle with no help from the govt as they don’t qualify. please research before assuming
the home schooling is just awful. the 13 year old is probably already like learning nothing. i cant imagine the laundry, how long it takes to get dishes done
You're so smart, spirit! You've understood that homeschool lessons take far less time, and that the kids learn far more than those in school. You've heard that homeschooled kids outperform kids who go to school, on standardized tests. You're well informed, aren't you?
@@rubynibs not when they're in lessons with 4 year-olds lmao
@@rubynibs Every single person I known whose been homeschooled became socially stunted and behind in every subject once they went to a regular high school. Some of them literally had to be put in the special ed math classes to catch up. One of my friends was homeschooled, and they were so horrifically behind in math and English especially, and couldn't pass the simplest of science classes.
Ruby Nibs You talk about people being uninformed as if the studies you speak of are clear cut. Most of the studies where they compare the results of home schooled children with those of non-home schooled children rely heavily on parents opting for their home schooled children to take part. They also have major issues in reliability as it’s known that parents often take these tests on behalf of their children. Even worse, unstructured home schooling methods like ‘unschooling’ are often left out of these studies entirely. Moreover, even *if* most children were to perform better in a home environment, this would not excuse the cases of other children being completely failed by their parents and left with a clearly unsatisfactory education (as is the case here). I think before desperately attacking people online you should therefore consider that perhaps other people are informed,(maybe even more so than yourself), and have a justifiable opinion that is contrary to your own.
As a kid whom is and has been homeschooled her whole life I can say, homeschooling is nothing like that. They need to run them off a program, it would give them the work they need for their grade levels. A 14 year old learning what an 8 year old is learning is just horrible, that child isn't going to learn anything.
here's some homeschooling advice: you don't teach 7th grade subjects to 3rd and 4th graders and kindergartners, as well as 11th graders.... teach them the subjects they need to be learning at their age and stop generalizing. Plus just copy a public school schedule from the internet and get rid of the topics you find inap like education on ... and so on
EDIT #1: You could send them to kumon for math and english difficulties so that they can have structure and still have a somewhat normal classroom experience and direct communication with friends and teachers.
Imagine loosing a fundamental part of childhood which is school, making friends and socialising just because mummy want the feeling of a new baby
That's literally my life rn. I have too much priorities to do other than taking care and watching over my 5 siblings. Sometimes, I don't feel like my parents appreciate me even though I'm the one doing all the work they're supposed to do. Even if I would try to make them proud a million times, they wouldn't give me the impression I want. Right now, I'm struggling with mental illnesses and I mostly struggled with overwork, depression, anxiety, and good child syndrome and I don't even know myself yet or what I am. I didn't have time to make friends and now that I'm 15, I am so shy to strangers and I don't want to meet new people. And rn, my mom just gave birth to another baby but I'm not mad just kinda sad and happy.

Sending you big hugs from the Caribbean ❤️❤️❤️
i cant believe that there are people who still feel this way. Sorry, but your opinion is an outdated one. The only 'socializing' going on in a public school is the wrong kind. When you are 'allowed' to talk, its to kids your own age. No interaction with different ages, let alone adults. Homeschooled children are MORE socialized than regular schooled kids.
@@alsoknownasanne5506 thank you sm. Even the smallest words help me to be motivated♥️
@@rzferre7966 aw th at sucks that your parents don't a llow you to be a kid. . As someone else who struggles w social anxiety what helps is just going out and about in the world. talking to people about boring stuff n all
i don’t think you should have kids cause you just “like being pregnant”, or “you like babies”. you should have one because your household is ready for a new addition imo. i think you really need to think about how it will effect your children, especially in the long run. they need space to grow & be themselves, they need alone time, they need opportunities, a proper education, lots of love & attention from their parents, etc.
If they just like being pregnant they should offer to be surrogates for those who can't carry their own.

I’m not against big families. But it’s like when people have a lot of dogs. If you love them and take care of them, you’re golden.
Large families are a huge drain on society.
@John Freddy its just simply impossible for parents to give all their children the same amount of attention when there are that many kids. Because of that the eldest kids always end up getting roped into being care takers to the younger kids, thus depriving them of years of getting to just be a child.
I was thinking the same thing
Teaching a 4 year old the same thing as a 13 year old is ridiculous. If you’re going to homeschool, do it right.
I’m the youngest of 10, my mom was the oldest of 9 and her dad was a middle child in a family of 13. Screw anyone that doesn’t like it! We all loved growing up in a big family! We always had someone to play with. My mom was an Angel and was a wonderful mother! My dad was never afraid of hard work!
I the 2nd of 6 that should've been 9! I agree 🖕 those who don't like it.
Not everyone have the same possibilities, having children is equal to having economical resources, mental health and space
You are both so lucky to have such a amazing loving family you both have something that money can not bry I would love to live next door to you take care sending lots of love and hugs ❤❤❤❤❤❤❤

I’m not condoning or condemning their large families but education, including college/university in most developed countries is extremely cheap or free. Your comment suggests you’re from the US, in which college is exorbitantly priced, which is not the case in the UK.

Yup that's why they keep having more babies. Sick

Kaitlyn Chapman are you serious ??😭 where’d you find that?
@Vexy Star Yes it's mandatory, but in the UK people have the legal right to teach their child at home (home-schooling, home education) But I'm sure they have to meet certain requirements and adhere to regulations. However, saying that, many parents are probably getting away with it (like this mother) as there's no way of thoroughly checking...
Vexy Star as long as you can prove that you are educating your children at home, they make you do tests I believe, you can educate your children at home
@Vexy Star in the UK you have to provide your kids with an education. If you choose to home educate you can teach them how and what you want as long as you are providing some sort of education. I home educate and we are VERY academically focused but we are an oddity. In fact, we are looked down on by other home Ed families because we have some formal education. I decided to home Ed because I felt schools weren’t good enough. I wanted my children to do the best they were able at their speed without being held back by slower kids or left behind by quicker kids. Most of the other home Ed families seem to have children with extra needs the schools didn’t help with and they don’t do formal educating at all. And though I keep all of our work, workbooks, tests, awards and records from sports and clubs and the daily itineraries and have since the beginning, no one has ever come to check what we are doing. So it’s either no involvement from the local councils or they are completely ignorant of their remit and overstep their boundaries and it’s up to the parents to teach them the actual laws. There, home education in the UK.
In my opinion it’s an addiction. Children require attention as well as love and food and security. They seem happy God bless them all 🙏🙏🙏
