Bipolar And Me Its perfectly possible: older kids can join in with the younger kids for some lessons, and teach themselves for other lessons. I ought to know: my mum homeschooled us with an age range of 15 years 😂 And it hasn't done us any harm, either: my three elder brothers are now all at Cambridge University. 😊
I have a friend who is homeschooling her 6 kids with a 15 year age spread. Whatever they are learning at the time, the lesson is the same for all the kids, just geared to their age. The oldest one would have to research and write an essay on how people live at the North Pole, for example, while the youngest one(s) would draw pictures of a North Pole home, or a resident fishing or something. I don't know how she manages it, but her kids pass the standard exams with good grades every year. They are very smart children, and much more inquisitive than traditionally schooled children.
Good on her, but I feel like she is the exception, not the rule. I think you need to have a more specialised background to teach more advanced science etc.
Bipolar And Me As someone who's been homeschooled her entire life, I would like to point out that most homeschoolers use school text books once they get to GCSE/Alevel levels. :) This means that the parents themselves don't have to know a lot about that particular subject. :)
Also, i know lots of homeschooling families, and generally the kids are a lot brighter, harder working and better behaved than ones their age in a school :)
What's truly amazing is the fact that the Radford's children all have the SAME father! Ponder that fact for a moment... The Radford's deserve a medal for raising such well balanced and healthy kids. Seriously!
Heather Mefford What I enjoy (and am fascinated by) with Noel and Sue is that they aren’t having all these kids for religious reasons. They just love them and want them. It is refreshing.
A lot of negative influence in schools? That Sulivain mother bothers me. I don't think the children are getting a proper education even the oldest said she's not qualified. I think their missing out a lot, seems like the mother isolated them a bit too much.
Agreed, the Sulivain family gives me the creeps, plus I feel so bad for the oldest, she basically has no space of her own (obvious from the first clip of them with a younger sibling taking a book she was reading and messing it up, there would be a smackdown if anyone took any of my books), which personally would drive me insane.
Kaitlin Hannah The brilliant thing about homeschooling is that you don't have to be a qualified teacher: my mum isn't, but she homeschooled all of us, and there are now three boys in Cambridge.
By "not qualified", the daughter meant that her mother has not got a teaching degree from University. Neither has my friend who is homeschooling her 6 kids. You don't need to be a formalized teacher. You get all the materials you need from the School Board to teach your kids with. All the curriculum is laid out and the lessons are in the book, with suggested activities for kids of different ages in order to learn the material. The only time my friend brings in someone else is to help with high school math which she feels she isn't qualified to teach. Then they use tutors if they need to, to help one or more kids get through a section of Math or Science that they're having difficulty with. Also, homeschoolers are not usually alone. Most of them belong to homeschooling groups which meet regularly for field trips and activities so that the kids get social time with other kids, like traditionally schooled kids would do at recess time - get together and play. Within those groups of homeschooling parents, there are usually parents who are good at Math, or good at Music, or good at Science, who help each other out. While my friend gets Math teaching help from another parent in the group, she will take his children and work with them on projects or crafts because she's good at those things. All in all, homeschooled kids get a lot more one-on-one attention from different "teachers" with different skill sets than traditionally schooled kids get.
It doesn't matter that she doesn't have a teaching degree, she dropped out of college (British college is ages 16-18, so in American terms, she doesn't have a high school diploma). Surely someone who finished education at 16 is not qualified to teach a teenager! And high school teachers all have different specialities. My high school maths teacher wouldn't have been able to teach me history, so how can we expect a normal parent with no higher education to teach every subject to the standard of a high school teacher?
I feel like the Radford family are a good example of how to have a big family that's well educated and looked after and the Sullivans are an example of the stereotype of a paranoid family.....

We have a family like that in the states they are called the Duggers and they are just like this family church people all the way home schooled little of the outside world unless it's with the family when you become a certain age ang are considered high risk pregnancies it's really time to stop and think about your family in case something happens to you
@Long Hair, Don't Care the sullivan's only social life is their many brothers. the poor teenage girl gets no break from her screaming brothers or even her parents. she has no friends her own age because she only socialises with family. That's not a social life.
@Long Hair, Don't Care I get more social fulfillment from friends than I do family, I always have and most people I know are the same. I have one sibling who's almost a decade older than me and for the first 12 years of my life lived in a different country to my cousins etc. The cousins I'm closest to (whether by age or by fact of watching them grow up) I couldn't imagine spending more than a few hours a day with them. The thought of having to spend all day every day with them is just a no. I like the ability to choose my own friends. I like to be able to associate and bond with people I have things in common with that aren't genetics.
There's no problem with choosing to have so many children but I think it's irresponsible for the mother who's having twins to teach her children that contraception is bad and shouldn't be used. It's her choice to have that many kids but they should be allowed to choose their future rather than follow her path.
Millie Brookes I agree. My mother had severe complications with me. I'm her third child, she always wanted 6. She got her tube tied immediately after I was born. She knew it was better to raise the three she had than risk having another and not seeing any of us grow up.
Long Hair, Don't Care contraception isnt an abortion. stop spreading false information all due to your deluded views on how people should have freedom and expression of sexuality contraception is preventing an otherwise unwanted birth. abortion isnt prevention, its ridding of a foetus that is possibly conceived due to inaffective contraception how ignorant do you have to be
I hate it! The oldest one at the table is 13 she's teaching the same things, I'm sure she doesn't know everything about chemistry,calculus and more that the kids will need once in their teen years, they will suffer in college, especially with all the new ways and methods of teaching and evolving subjects
Ruby Ansu Gyeabour actually they dont have to go to school as long as they are getting educated Plenty of homeschooled children take exams pass them and do well
Rachel Steel you try to look after half of the amount kids they have and see how that works out for you, kids will be kids but in general they are well behaved, well mannered.
tuan ngo they were raised right! it seems crazy that shes got so many but she's doing amazing at raising them to be great people, she truly is an amazing mum
I'm assuming you're talking about 1st cousins right? And I thought there being 6 of us on one side was a lot lol (I'm an only child and only grandchild on the other) haha!
She's had 8 miscarriages and with the twins she was high-risk, but still she wants to have more!? I don't understand how this woman does not understand that her body can't take another pregnancy. What sign is she waiting for? To die during labor? Insane people.
Chiara you're right. And she's not thinking about the kids she already has. They could be left without a mother due to her stupidity......and who would take on that many kids if something did happen?
Chiara Yes and she say that its Gods will... yes right...!!! Selfish woman... and send those kids to School so they can get a life and not only listen to the bible...
I love the Radfords. All those kids are genuinely happy. The Sullivans are creepy, though. The parents I mean. The kids are constrained - prisoners without knowing they are.
@@theMerryMonarch A parent should control what their kids know and when the children become of age they can venture out and learn on their own. But minors should have limitations on what they learn and who better to decide that than the ones that made them.. The alternative is letting the government decide and that's just ridiculous.
For a family of 14 kids. They seem rather well behaved. But it also seems unfair to the older children. The father and mother can't just take care of all of them. I come from a family of 10. I know exactly what goes on in a house like that. Its a team work for sure. Bless those older children for taking responsibility of an adult.
I am in a family of 4 kids and have to watch my siblings during the summer four days a week for 12 hours and before and after school I'm only 14 and barely have a social life outside school because of watching them one of my siblings is autistic but I bet these kids don't get a social life i agree completely
The Radford family are doing it right. All of the kids seem so happy besides the lack of privacy, they all look so healthy and great! They seem like amazing parents
Personally, I think it's insane to have so many children. But, to each their own. As long as they can support so many children financially themselves, and not rely on government handouts, let them pop out as many as they want.
Chiara i recently Saw that having so many children contributes to global warming. So I think it is extremely selfish to have so many even if they Can take Care of them. They d be happy with 2 and could give more attention and love to two rather than 14..
Everything contributes to global warming, many developed countries populations are starting to peak and decline, because many choose to have 1-2 so there is no growth. Families like this actually help to even the population rate. And in about 20-30 years countries like the US and U.K. Are going to be wanting more babies because we are gonna have too many elderly and not enough young to support and contribute to the work force
HOOOOOLD ON?! That woman is 36 and her oldest kid is 22?! She started at 14 at all her life she has just been producing kids....??? To each their own but wow what a life...
Radford family are brilliant! I would tie a helium balloon on each of the young kids on the beach, maybe even numbered balloons. Lovely natured people:) Sullivan are a wee bit odd, but were going through a tough time while filming and it’s nice to see a couple that share a deep love.
Homeschooling if you're not a teacher probably isnt the best, and kids NEED the social interaction of other kids at school. Wanting to "protect" your kids from the influences at school is just going to make them more rebellious as adults. More power to the parents who homeschool but think about what it does to the kids too
My mum had my older brother when she was only just 17! he’s now 14 and there are 7 of us kids now, soon to be 8! Charlie - 14 Me (Ella)- 12 (13 in a few days) Belle - 10 Imogen - 7 Alfie - 5 Luca - 3 Ivy - 1 new baby girl due december 19! my siblings are literally THE most annoying things in the world. if you have 1 or 2 siblings, you should feel blessed.
20th is due in September. Edit: Lost count somewhere - thought it was 19th but guess the last one (less than a year ago) was actually 19th. Oi. Stop having kids, folks! LMAO How do they keep it straight themselves? LOL
As someone who was homeschooled, I'd like to address all the comments saying that homeschooling is wrong. Homeschooling, as a general rule, usually turns out children who are as well, or better, educated than those from mainstream schools. In some places we are actually head-hunted by universities. That is not to say that every homeschooling family is perfect, and there are a few, a very few, who do not succeed. There are also children who do not succeed in mainstream schools. It is also true that documentaries and news coverage are usually heavily biased against homeschooling. There have been cases of documentaries deliberately selecting footage to make homeschooling families look bad and the children appear uneducated. It is impossible to tell which scenario is occurring here, I suspect the latter could be the case, but that is only from knowing other docos have done the same. However it is concerning that the mother refuses to give her children access to reproductive education, and that she is teaching them that contraception is wrong. Staunchly religious families do exist, and although they have a strong presence in homeschooling communities, homeschooling is not intrinsically linked with religion. Regardless, homeschooling is a viable and successful course for many families, please don't lump us all in the same group
I worked with a woman who homeschooled her four girls. The woman in question wasn't educated beyond high school herself but she looked into anything and everything for her children. Sometimes they learned together, especially with languages. One of her daughters won an award for her writing from Princeton when she was 14. That is the school she is now attending. All 4 of those children have very impressive academic credentials. She took them to all sorts of places for field trips, organized volunteer work for the family on a regular basis, had a garden, cooked different ethnic foods and just anyting she could think of to enrich their lives. If only children in public schools had such an education.
i don't think anyone is saying homeschooling in itself is wrong, just that that family seems to be doing it for the wrong reasons (to shelter them) and with that many kids, its probably not ideal because you have to cover the curriculum for a wide range. one person can't give that many kids the attention they need academically, across a range of subjects. also i think, if someone is going to homeschool, its important that they have clubs or meet ups so the kids can still be socialised.
Aww it's so sad when the Radfords talk about being adopted. Noel in particular seems to get quite upset. No wonder they love their large family. Amazing parents and lovely kids.
It's each family's own decision how many to have, and neither of these families are receiving benefits or welfare at least. The one problem I have, though, is wondering how each child gets enough attention and one-on-one time with their parents. It's impossible with that many. Both those homes were like chaos all day long - the noise alone would do me in. Each new baby is thrust out of its position within a year - that's not enough time to devote to each newborn. And babies should not be an "addiction", with a mother having them just because she loves to be pregnant and "have" babies. One of these women admits she's been high risk since her third pregnancy and she's now on her 10th - that is taking risks at someone else's expense. Really - it's time to know when to stop. There will be grandchildren someday, so these women will get their fill of babies without having to produce more on their own.
People with one or two children do the same thing. They don't pay enough attention. You can't say she would pay more attention to less kids. Some parents of 1 or 2 only give their children 10 minutes of their time if not less. Some people with 3 or 4 kids could give their kids 20 minutes a day. It really depends on the person. The parent. How much time is given to yours? More time doesn't necessarily mean more love because an 8 year old might not want to spend an hour being entertained while a 3 year old might need your attention every 15min. It's their home as long as they aren't abused and as long as the parent feeds, clothes, and shows some affection/nurturing they'll be fine.
poor Noel he always gets very emotive & cries when his adoption & unknown birth other is brought up.Susan seems to handles it well, I never see her cry.
Just watch this and I can't helped to keep track of Radford family videos, their family is beautiful and the parents are such good responsible parents...love them do they have TV series...haha they should have...just nice to watch kids growing with sibling love...
Both of my grandmothers had a lot of kids so I have tons of aunts, uncles and cousins big families are cool☺. However, when someone says they are addicted to being pregnant and having babies as if it is a drug it raises a concern for their mental wellness.
I love, love the redford family. It shows that love knows no boundries. Coming from a family of 11 kids I know the values and joy a large family gives. This great family are so grounded, have a immaculate house and the children are compassionate about one another. what more do you want? Apart from more children offcourse! I wish this family lots of good fortune.
Omg she just had the twins and she's already going oh i miss the feeling of birthing babys... geeze woman enjoy your 2ish day old baby's before you throw them away. 😡
She said that she didn't want to call him Tommy because Tommy & Tilly sound too much alike. But then they have a Milly, so Tilly and Milly sound more alike than Tommy & Tilly! 😑😑
listen I don't mind people having lots of kids, a big family can be a great thing heck my mum has 7 siblings and I have too many cousins to count BUT the first mother has basically been pregnant for over 22 years and she was only 36 when this was filmed , a 14 year old is not supposed to carry a child it's very risky for mother and child and every pregnancy is an incredible amount of work for the female body, she must be exhausted I can't imagine this not falling back on her at some point and it'd be a shame if she got sick or worse bc of all those pregnancies
Rina: Isn't it "her body/her business?" That's what all the pro-choice women scream. LOL. (I'm against abortion btw) - However, if she wants and can have and can afford children...That IS her right. It's better to HAVE BABIES than to MURDER THEM like many women "CHOOSE to DO", don't you agree? I do. People, esp women, have to be the same in their "arguments." You cannot, on one hand, say you have a right to get abortion claiming "it's my body and my right and on other hand criticize a woman you don't agree with for wanting and having kids using logic or the ILLOGICAL argument that "she shouldn't hurt her body this way." (Not saying YOU are, but many woman commenters are saying this on here and it's ridiculous.) It's double-minded and either you have CHOICE over your body or you don't. I say LIFE is better THAN DEATH. Merry Christmas.
Rubbish - weve all been brainwashed into having fewer and fewer children at an older and older age, in a more restricted and stressful financial environment - theyre self employed and that is the only way they have been free to live the life they wanted to live - unlike the rest of the population who are going entirely against nature and dont even realise it - look how healthy these people and their children look - compared to people who have been in education forever and start a career in their mid 20s and squeeze in children between the mortgage and the career. Were the mugs.
Sue is such a pretty woman A Noel is a really handsome man Their kids are gorgeous! They are such a sweet and loving family, they just make it work and I admire them so much for it! ♥️
Now this is the radfords. Sue and Noel who are parents and then: (in order of age) Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Alfie, Hallie, Pheobe, Archie, Bonnie and Heidi. Grandchildren are: Maisie, Jacob, Daisy, Ayprill, Leo and soon Ophelia.
My husband and I adopted our first and we have loss 6babies 5pregnanices and now we are currently 22weeks with a baby girl we are excited and our first angel is happy too. But I don't think it's a to big of a deal if you have the money to provide for every single one of the babies.
the Radford’s have now got Casper, Alfie (rip), Hallie, Phoebe, Archie, Bonnie and Heidi. 5 grandchildren and expecting a 6th because Milly is pregnant with baby Ophelia!!! They’re such an amazing family and i love watching them
As a teacher I find her words not a little offensive. When I was teaching I cared deeply about the children. Not just what they learnt but about about them as individuals with their own hopes and dreams and often difficulties as well
the sullivan mom is only thinking of herself, what would happen to her children if she died due to the high risks she is taking having more children. Her children are going to resent how much she swaddles them up. the Radfords are incredible. such a lovely happy family!! x
As long as you are not risking your life or the baby's life by having them, you can support them on your own money and give them all enough individual attention and spend time with each of them then go ahead and have as many babies as you want x
As someone who, with the support of my Husband, decided to give up my career & become foster parents &, ultimately, adoptive parents because we had heard that the need was so great, I am puzzled. Everyone has the ability to make their own decisions in life, however, if you have the will, health & financial stability to have an enormous family, I wonder why more folk don't have a few biological children, if they so choose and then share a little of all the love & resources they have to give some children who are already on the planet a home & family also!
People can judge them if they want to, if a mother decides to continue having children even after she knows that she is high risk then she is not only risking her life but also her children’s. If the mother dies in birth then those children will be left alone and no one could take care of that many alone. Not only that but when you have 12+ children then you can’t give all of them enough love and attention. Go and have kids but people need to realize exactly what it does to the children and how it will affect them. They can have kids but there’s a difference between having 5 dogs and having 15. Is selfish to have so many children just because you want to and to not think about the actual children who you will have to raise For example the family who went on vacation seem to be more then able to care and give attention to all of their children, and I’ve seen other families that also do well but the one where the mom is paranoid and insufficiently homeschooling her children is wrong. That mom should put the needs of her children above her own
Emilyne Caspers that is wrong many christians believe it goes against god because he told us to be fruitful and multiply. (Aka make babys) any form of contraception is bad, the only 'contraception' that is acceptable is pulling out 😂
When the mother from the Radford's can't have any more children (menopauze) she will be miserable and probably very depressed, she has never been not pregnant in her whole adult life.
If one of them gets bullied at least they can say “I’ll get my 15 brothers and sisters on you”
Robinson yeah like “you mess with 1 you mess with the other 15 of us”
Robinson my last name is

Millie Brookes I agree. My mother had severe complications with me. I'm her third child, she always wanted 6. She got her tube tied immediately after I was born. She knew it was better to raise the three she had than risk having another and not seeing any of us grow up.
What does conceptration mean?
Long Hair, Don't Care contraception isnt an abortion. stop spreading false information all due to your deluded views on how people should have freedom and expression of sexuality
contraception is preventing an otherwise unwanted birth. abortion isnt prevention, its ridding of a foetus that is possibly conceived due to inaffective contraception
how ignorant do you have to be
The family homeschooling need serious help... They are home schooling because mum has serious control and anxiety issues.
She definitely does not seem happy.
I hate it! The oldest one at the table is 13 she's teaching the same things, I'm sure she doesn't know everything about chemistry,calculus and more that the kids will need once in their teen years, they will suffer in college, especially with all the new ways and methods of teaching and evolving subjects
Gizzy's Travels agree, she needs help
Gizzy's Travels once they are in year 5 they have to go to school BC of sats and other things in secondary school
Ruby Ansu Gyeabour actually they dont have to go to school as long as they are getting educated
Plenty of homeschooled children take exams pass them and do well
Love the radford family, kids are well mannered and well behaved for such a large family
tuan ngo ermmm.... did you see him standing on the table?!?
Rachel Steel you try to look after half of the amount kids they have and see how that works out for you, kids will be kids but in general they are well behaved, well mannered.
tuan ngo they were raised right! it seems crazy that shes got so many but she's doing amazing at raising them to be great people, she truly is an amazing mum
The older ones but not really the younger one the older ones a really helpful
th
My mum had 14 siblings (she was the 15th and last child). Now I have 134 cousins!! Yay?
Lilly Grace Carstens my grandad had a lot of siblings and my mom ended up with just under 200 cousins. I've got 20 cousins (I think).
How do you remember any of their names?
I know my mum's siblings, but I have even met all my cousin's
I'm assuming you're talking about 1st cousins right? And I thought there being 6 of us on one side was a lot lol (I'm an only child and only grandchild on the other) haha!
go big or go home is that just on your mums side
She's had 8 miscarriages and with the twins she was high-risk, but still she wants to have more!? I don't understand how this woman does not understand that her body can't take another pregnancy. What sign is she waiting for? To die during labor? Insane people.
Ugh I know, it crazy.
Chiara you're right. And she's not thinking about the kids she already has. They could be left without a mother due to her stupidity......and who would take on that many kids if something did happen?
bc what she loves is being pregnant, the moment she is not, she wants it again.
Chiara that's terrible to say yes they have many but it's not living if ur not happy soo please don't leave comments like that
Chiara Yes and she say that its Gods will... yes right...!!! Selfish woman... and send those kids to School so they can get a life and not only listen to the bible...
Home schooling doesn’t teach them basic communication towards other kids , and they’re all different ages can never work
Even the idea of keeping 16 dinner plates in the house stresses me out... let alone 16 humans
lol this comment made me laugh a lot. I’m thinking about having one kid and I’m terrified haha
Vienna Elizabeth my family has more than 30 dinner plates. I’m a only child.
I love the Radfords. All those kids are genuinely happy.
The Sullivans are creepy, though. The parents I mean. The kids are constrained - prisoners without knowing they are.
Maryse Flore Ya the radfords seem happy with the big family but the Sullivan's seem like the kids are stressed
Yes I follow them now since Heidie was born and to think Oscar has now 6 (7) mre little tiny ones is amazing. Their vlogs are amazing.
Creepy? Why is that? Because she home schools her kids? Surely you must have some reasoning to back up your creepy claim.
@@DeplorableArab it's the vibe of "I want to control what my kids know". Sounds a bit like a cult
@@theMerryMonarch A parent should control what their kids know and when the children become of age they can venture out and learn on their own. But minors should have limitations on what they learn and who better to decide that than the ones that made them.. The alternative is letting the government decide and that's just ridiculous.
For a family of 14 kids. They seem rather well behaved. But it also seems unfair to the older children. The father and mother can't just take care of all of them. I come from a family of 10. I know exactly what goes on in a house like that. Its a team work for sure. Bless those older children for taking responsibility of an adult.
I am in a family of 4 kids and have to watch my siblings during the summer four days a week for 12 hours and before and after school I'm only 14 and barely have a social life outside school because of watching them one of my siblings is autistic but I bet these kids don't get a social life i agree completely
How do you remember all their birthdays 😂
B 27x Idk.....I'd probably just like write em all down on calendar..
B 27x the thing is... how does she remember all those names?!
B 27x they don’t have to as long as they love them
Imagine all that cake 🤤😨
One for every month😂
"From 22 years to just 12 months"
One year old, your youngest child is one year old
lmao ikr
Squishy Pixelz yeah and?
The difference between 11, 12 and 13 months is significant enough to not use years.
To your pediatrician, maybe. Not to the general public.
even to the general public. It's okay to use for children under 2 years of age (the closer to 2 years, the more obsolete it gets).
The Radford family are doing it right. All of the kids seem so happy besides the lack of privacy, they all look so healthy and great! They seem like amazing parents
Personally, I think it's insane to have so many children. But, to each their own. As long as they can support so many children financially themselves, and not rely on government handouts, let them pop out as many as they want.
Chiara I
Chiara i recently Saw that having so many children contributes to global warming. So I think it is extremely selfish to have so many even if they Can take Care of them. They d be happy with 2 and could give more attention and love to two rather than 14..
Everything contributes to global warming, many developed countries populations are starting to peak and decline, because many choose to have 1-2 so there is no growth. Families like this actually help to even the population rate. And in about 20-30 years countries like the US and U.K. Are going to be wanting more babies because we are gonna have too many elderly and not enough young to support and contribute to the work force
xcamillef94 think of all the cars on the roads and all the high rise buildings popping up everywhere. Theres the biggest problem with global warming.
that's why we will import Mexicans...
HOOOOOLD ON?! That woman is 36 and her oldest kid is 22?! She started at 14 at all her life she has just been producing kids....??? To each their own but wow what a life...
Sabrina Stein true!
Sabrina Stein I WAS JUST ABOUT TO SAY THWT
Sabrina Stein yikes..

When you have literally no purpose in life so you have to force yourself into one by forcing other people to exist.
I thought my family of 6 was big.
Although it feels huge when mum is disabled and you look after a kid.
Some families can easily handle 10, some can't even handle 1. It really depends on how they're raised & the family dynamics.
Radford family are brilliant! I would tie a helium balloon on each of the young kids on the beach, maybe even numbered balloons. Lovely natured people:)
Sullivan are a wee bit odd, but were going through a tough time while filming and it’s nice to see a couple that share a deep love.
Bless them, Noel and Sue’s kids have a better life than a lot of kids !
Homeschooling if you're not a teacher probably isnt the best, and kids NEED the social interaction of other kids at school. Wanting to "protect" your kids from the influences at school is just going to make them more rebellious as adults. More power to the parents who homeschool but think about what it does to the kids too
The older kid looked bored at homeschooling!
definitely and im not really surprised
Yeah
For anyone who doesn't know the Radford's now have 21 kids. It's so weird seeing them back at only baby #15.
My mum had my older brother when she was only just 17! he’s now 14 and there are 7 of us kids now, soon to be 8!
Charlie - 14
Me (Ella)- 12 (13 in a few days)
Belle - 10
Imogen - 7
Alfie - 5
Luca - 3
Ivy - 1
new baby girl due december 19!
my siblings are literally THE most annoying things in the world. if you have 1 or 2 siblings, you should feel blessed.
God is playing the 100 baby challenge 😂
aren't the Radfords on number 20 now?
20th is due in September. Edit: Lost count somewhere - thought it was 19th but guess the last one (less than a year ago) was actually 19th. Oi. Stop having kids, folks! LMAO How do they keep it straight themselves? LOL
melissa 😩😳
melissa I think so 😂
Yes +Melissa coming September
They do really have 19 as Alfie had died but suppose they like to say we have 20 children

Gosh, they need to have 1 more to get the record my family has 21.
As someone who was homeschooled, I'd like to address all the comments saying that homeschooling is wrong. Homeschooling, as a general rule, usually turns out children who are as well, or better, educated than those from mainstream schools. In some places we are actually head-hunted by universities.
That is not to say that every homeschooling family is perfect, and there are a few, a very few, who do not succeed. There are also children who do not succeed in mainstream schools.
It is also true that documentaries and news coverage are usually heavily biased against homeschooling. There have been cases of documentaries deliberately selecting footage to make homeschooling families look bad and the children appear uneducated.
It is impossible to tell which scenario is occurring here, I suspect the latter could be the case, but that is only from knowing other docos have done the same. However it is concerning that the mother refuses to give her children access to reproductive education, and that she is teaching them that contraception is wrong. Staunchly religious families do exist, and although they have a strong presence in homeschooling communities, homeschooling is not intrinsically linked with religion.
Regardless, homeschooling is a viable and successful course for many families, please don't lump us all in the same group
I worked with a woman who homeschooled her four girls. The woman in question wasn't educated beyond high school herself but she looked into anything and everything for her children. Sometimes they learned together, especially with languages. One of her daughters won an award for her writing from Princeton when she was 14. That is the school she is now attending. All 4 of those children have very impressive academic credentials. She took them to all sorts of places for field trips, organized volunteer work for the family on a regular basis, had a garden, cooked different ethnic foods and just anyting she could think of to enrich their lives. If only children in public schools had such an education.
Susan Williams Completely agree with your statement. I started Homeschooling when I entered high-school and it’s been a big game changer for me.
Thanks for this
i don't think anyone is saying homeschooling in itself is wrong, just that that family seems to be doing it for the wrong reasons (to shelter them) and with that many kids, its probably not ideal because you have to cover the curriculum for a wide range. one person can't give that many kids the attention they need academically, across a range of subjects. also i think, if someone is going to homeschool, its important that they have clubs or meet ups so the kids can still be socialised.
The fact that the girl said 'we'll search it out' just kinda shows how well of a teacher she is 😂
The family who homeschools seems a bit cult-ish 😳😬
Aww it's so sad when the Radfords talk about being adopted. Noel in particular seems to get quite upset. No wonder they love their large family. Amazing parents and lovely kids.
It's each family's own decision how many to have, and neither of these families are receiving benefits or welfare at least. The one problem I have, though, is wondering how each child gets enough attention and one-on-one time with their parents. It's impossible with that many. Both those homes were like chaos all day long - the noise alone would do me in. Each new baby is thrust out of its position within a year - that's not enough time to devote to each newborn. And babies should not be an "addiction", with a mother having them just because she loves to be pregnant and "have" babies. One of these women admits she's been high risk since her third pregnancy and she's now on her 10th - that is taking risks at someone else's expense. Really - it's time to know when to stop. There will be grandchildren someday, so these women will get their fill of babies without having to produce more on their own.
how much time per day does each child get to really talk with mum or dad? who is she putting first?
Glenda Field I have to wonder too
Glenda Field .
People with one or two children do the same thing. They don't pay enough attention. You can't say she would pay more attention to less kids. Some parents of 1 or 2 only give their children 10 minutes of their time if not less. Some people with 3 or 4 kids could give their kids 20 minutes a day. It really depends on the person. The parent. How much time is given to yours? More time doesn't necessarily mean more love because an 8 year old might not want to spend an hour being entertained while a 3 year old might need your attention every 15min. It's their home as long as they aren't abused and as long as the parent feeds, clothes, and shows some affection/nurturing they'll be fine.
watch the radford family channel and see for your self.... amazing parents.
I adore the Redford family, they’re always on This Morning and they are all such lovely people
This is so old
Sue is pregnant with number 20 now
Lola Jones theres a documentary where she has 16 kids
Lola Jones 21 due in November I think , it’s a girl
SummerManning X what ??!!
Yes she had a baby girl called Bonnie on 13tn November. Number 21
Lola Jones
21 now
the radfords are such a nice family, i love watching their documentaries and "living with them" through their life!
I really felt disgusted only for that homeschooling.. The kids are not at all happy.
They appear very happy to me :)
poor Noel he always gets very emotive & cries when his adoption & unknown birth other is brought up.Susan seems to handles it well, I never see her cry.
She's had over 20 kids. I'd say that's a sign that she's not handling it well.
Just watch this and I can't helped to keep track of Radford family videos, their family is beautiful and the parents are such good responsible parents...love them do they have TV series...haha they should have...just nice to watch kids growing with sibling love...
Both of my grandmothers had a lot of kids so I have tons of aunts, uncles and cousins big families are cool☺. However, when someone says they are addicted to being pregnant and having babies as if it is a drug it raises a concern for their mental wellness.
My grandma had 11 children... It was actually normal in our country. Some families had even more.
Pull out game WEAK
Amazing channel. Well done! We truly enjoyed it.
imagine a friend coming over the radford house
Friend: MOMMMYYYYY....😂😂😂
I love, love the redford family. It shows that love knows no boundries. Coming from a family of 11 kids I know the values and joy a large family gives. This great family are so grounded, have a immaculate house and the children are compassionate about one another. what more do you want? Apart from more children offcourse! I wish this family lots of good fortune.
Omg she just had the twins and she's already going oh i miss the feeling of birthing babys... geeze woman enjoy your 2ish day old baby's before you throw them away. 😡
I don't get why everyone is so upset with the number of kids they have tbh
but no one show be allowed to tell them that they cant have so many kids. its her body if she wants to have 14 kids then its no ones say to stop her.
Carrie Cooper it's not overpopulated I have a lot of space where I live lol climate change isn't caused by more ppl tho
Priscilla Reyna because they are on benefits and the more kids they have the more benefits they get
Yes it is, each person consumes a huge amount of energy and other resources over the period of an average life time
Priscilla Reyna lol there not
Bless this family🙏 it’s huge family I hope each of them has a better future. I admired this family who really there for their children☺️
I'm surprised the Radford family haven't had twins
Chloe and Callum well having twins is mostly a genetic thing, so unless there’s twins somewhere in their family tree she won’t have any either.
She said that she didn't want to call him Tommy because Tommy & Tilly sound too much alike. But then they have a Milly, so Tilly and Milly sound more alike than Tommy & Tilly! 😑😑
KatieGold they also have an Ellie and Hallie
listen I don't mind people having lots of kids, a big family can be a great thing heck my mum has 7 siblings and I have too many cousins to count BUT the first mother has basically been pregnant for over 22 years and she was only 36 when this was filmed , a 14 year old is not supposed to carry a child it's very risky for mother and child and every pregnancy is an incredible amount of work for the female body, she must be exhausted I can't imagine this not falling back on her at some point and it'd be a shame if she got sick or worse bc of all those pregnancies
Rina: Isn't it "her body/her business?" That's what all the pro-choice women scream. LOL. (I'm against abortion btw) - However, if she wants and can have and can afford children...That IS her right. It's better to HAVE BABIES than to MURDER THEM like many women "CHOOSE to DO", don't you agree? I do. People, esp women, have to be the same in their "arguments." You cannot, on one hand, say you have a right to get abortion claiming "it's my body and my right and on other hand criticize a woman you don't agree with for wanting and having kids using logic or the ILLOGICAL argument that "she shouldn't hurt her body this way." (Not saying YOU are, but many woman commenters are saying this on here and it's ridiculous.) It's double-minded and either you have CHOICE over your body or you don't. I say LIFE is better THAN DEATH. Merry Christmas.
If they’re not suppose to carry children then why are they able?
Rubbish - weve all been brainwashed into having fewer and fewer children at an older and older age, in a more restricted and stressful financial environment - theyre self employed and that is the only way they have been free to live the life they wanted to live - unlike the rest of the population who are going entirely against nature and dont even realise it - look how healthy these people and their children look - compared to people who have been in education forever and start a career in their mid 20s and squeeze in children between the mortgage and the career. Were the mugs.
if you have you period , you're able to carry a baby ... that's the point of periods
Erica Asjaee it's about someone's maturity too and ability to raise financially.
Isn't it weird that Millie from the Radfords Family is having her own child now? Time flies lmao

Now this is the radfords. Sue and Noel who are parents and then: (in order of age) Chris, Sophie, Chloe, Jack, Daniel, Luke, Millie, Katie, James, Ellie, Aimee, Josh, Max, Tillie, Oscar, Casper, Alfie, Hallie, Pheobe, Archie, Bonnie and Heidi. Grandchildren are: Maisie, Jacob, Daisy, Ayprill, Leo and soon Ophelia.
And now sue and Noel are expecting their 22nd baby!! Xx
Having a big family is normal as long as you can look after all of them and provide as well as having time for yourself
Imagine how many grandkids she will have❤️
My husband and I adopted our first and we have loss 6babies 5pregnanices and now we are currently 22weeks with a baby girl we are excited and our first angel is happy too.
But I don't think it's a to big of a deal if you have the money to provide for every single one of the babies.
Woooo! The Radfords welcomed baby number 20!! Baby Archie💙
the Radford’s have now got Casper, Alfie (rip), Hallie, Phoebe, Archie, Bonnie and Heidi. 5 grandchildren and expecting a 6th because Milly is pregnant with baby Ophelia!!! They’re such an amazing family and i love watching them
If I was in that family I would probably wake up at 1 morning and go : Who are you? Have I met you?
As a teacher I find her words not a little offensive. When I was teaching I cared deeply about the children. Not just what they learnt but about about them as individuals with their own hopes and dreams and often difficulties as well
Here’s me and I would love one child but I haven’t been blessed and I’m heartbroken
the sullivan mom is only thinking of herself, what would happen to her children if she died due to the high risks she is taking having more children. Her children are going to resent how much she swaddles them up. the Radfords are incredible. such a lovely happy family!! x
TBH I think the big family are the nicest❤️
As long as you are not risking your life or the baby's life by having them, you can support them on your own money and give them all enough individual attention and spend time with each of them then go ahead and have as many babies as you want x
Enjoyed Redford family they’re always happy in face and joyous
My grandma was the youngest (?) of twelve kids...props to my great grandparents for going through all that
The Radfords are just wonderful
THIS WHOLE SHOW JUST MAKE ME CRY .....GOD BLESS THE FAMILIES
21 hours ago and yet the radford family now have 19 kids
Chloe Stuart expecting number 20😂😂😂
i know right weird would never do that
She has has number 21 now Bonnie was born last month.
As someone who, with the support of my Husband, decided to give up my career & become foster parents &, ultimately, adoptive parents because we had heard that the need was so great, I am puzzled. Everyone has the ability to make their own decisions in life, however, if you have the will, health & financial stability to have an enormous family, I wonder why more folk don't have a few biological children, if they so choose and then share a little of all the love & resources they have to give some children who are already on the planet a home & family also!
Sadly, no choice sometimes I'm healthy enough to have my own children but not allowed to adopt or foster.
Why is everyone against big families my mum would love more kids she just can't and if they can have kids then why not,,they're not insane!!!
Charlotte Mulhearn because they all rely on benefits
Over population - parents should have < two children, to replace the parents
Charlotte Mulhearn k
overpopulation, kids don't get enough attention (especially eldest)
People can judge them if they want to, if a mother decides to continue having children even after she knows that she is high risk then she is not only risking her life but also her children’s. If the mother dies in birth then those children will be left alone and no one could take care of that many alone. Not only that but when you have 12+ children then you can’t give all of them enough love and attention. Go and have kids but people need to realize exactly what it does to the children and how it will affect them. They can have kids but there’s a difference between having 5 dogs and having 15. Is selfish to have so many children just because you want to and to not think about the actual children who you will have to raise
For example the family who went on vacation seem to be more then able to care and give attention to all of their children, and I’ve seen other families that also do well but the one where the mom is paranoid and insufficiently homeschooling her children is wrong. That mom should put the needs of her children above her own

How is contraception wrong??
cupcakeprincess it's not

Many believe that contraception it just another form of abortion, and that abortion is the murder of a baby.
Emilyne Caspers Ok, thanks
Contraception does not cause abortions. That's misinformation.
Emilyne Caspers that is wrong many christians believe it goes against god because he told us to be fruitful and multiply. (Aka make babys) any form of contraception is bad, the only 'contraception' that is acceptable is pulling out 😂
