So refreshing to see this beautiful family ❤

My goodness, i can barely manage my two little ones and all the housework and laundry that goes with it😅. These two are so laid back and fresh faced. Hats off to them doing such a great job, even the house is really tidy and well kept❤

Why would someone say something so stupid by implying the parents are selfish? If they were living off benefits, not working at all & letting their children run a muck around the streets, then I would consider that selfish & cruel. But this family has good morals & values. They respect each other & the children respect their parents. They don't ask for handouts & work hard to give & do their best with their kids. I think they are a beautiful family who have a lot of love & respect & for that I 100% have respect for them all. Beautiful people each & every one of them.

Perhaps because large families are more of a drain on world resources. It's not just about whether they can afford to provide for ridiculous numbers of children...it's about looking at the bigger picture.

@@letsrock1729That age old argument eh? ‘By 2050, over three-quarters (155 of 204) of countries will not have high enough fertility rates to sustain population size over time; this will increase to 97% of countries (198 of 204) by 2100’ This was filmed around 2003. 20 years ago. No point preaching on now. What are you going to do, send the kids back to where they came from? Many people are having less & less kids. So, don’t worry, the ‘resources’ will be impacted in other ways.

@@LauraBidingCitizen I'm not 'preaching'. I'm just expressing a different opinion to the hordes of people on here who appear to think that large families should be celebrated. Obviously children who already exist can't be 'sent back'. But that doesn't change the fact that people need to start acting more responsibly, going forward. There are still lots of huge families out there and it still seems to be a thing which attracts admiration from many people. If your statistics are correct, then that's great news. But nothing is going to make me believe that having this many children is socially responsible behaviour.

@@letsrock1729 Whether you or I believe it’s socially responsible or not is not the point. What you’re suggesting is, children who are born into a large family shouldn’t be celebrated? Why shouldn’t they? Why shouldn’t parents freely choose, so long as they’re supporting said family, how many they should bring into this world? Thats their right. No one has the right to dictate to anyone how to use their bodies. Many people are actively choosing not to have children these days, larger families at this present time are becoming a thing of the past, as stated this was filmed in 2003, 20 years ago, not to mention the fact larger families are certainly not a new phenomenon. We are not China, we are not a dictatorship, no one should ever decide how many children to have - that’s exactly why China lifted their ban on how many a couple can have. The destruction done to this planet was made by all humans, not just larger families.

@@LauraBidingCitizen Your reading/comprehension skills need a little work. My view is that large families are not something to be celebrated (the phenomenon of them). I didn't say that children who are born into large families shouldn't be celebrated. That's an entirely different thing. I would never suggest that children from large families should be side-lined in any way because of their parents' unwise decisions. On the contrary, these children are actually MORE in need of support and encouragement from outside the family, seeing as their parents quite simply cannot adequately provide the level of individual attention that EVERY child deserves. I also feel that perhaps you have failed to realise the reason for my original comment. Reuma asked why anyone would imply that these parents are selfish. I was providing a possible answer to this question. I have no desire to get into any arguments on this subject. I was simply offering an answer to a question.

Great job MOM/ DAD ❤

Very nice family 😊

188 quid a week….costs me more than that now for a family of 5…cheap back then

Birthday party..."who wants a bit of cake!?" Sweet really...they are amazingly organized...no other way!

Usually I’m a bit judgey when I see families like this. However, their children are lovely & being raised to be productive members of society. A whole lot different to the welfare families pumping out cycles of occupational breeders for the income. I love how the parents described each child’s traits & personalities, you can tell the parents are very involved with their children.

They aren’t the biggest brood,by a long way.There is a family with 22 children.All happy and well looked after.Don’t claim benefits,live in a nice house,and work hard.Mum had their first one at 14.They are dedicated to each other.

Wow 188 for all that. Food was so much cheaper in 2003. I spend 70 quid a week on myself here in 2024. But that still seems like a lot of food, shampoo, and soap for just a week. He makes 35K a year? thought the mini coopers were really expensive. Nice to know the older kids have to get jobs/college. Another one of these shows the family of 12 the parents didn't work and only used govt support.

I lived in Belize and i knew two women who had 20 children.

What a lovely family!!! I felt so sad when the mother was speaking of her childhood!!!😢 But she and her husband are fantastic parents!!!💜

What lovely children. Imagine coming home from work to chicken nuggets and chips for tea

I love seeing large families… my only criticism is mom and dad describing the kids at the beginning when they described some of the children as ‘nice kid’, this could imply that others are not nice.

Why be worried about not having a baby in the house? Youre already starting with the next generation which is wonderful. Thats why its best to have a max number agreed before getting married. They seem lovely, but at a point enough is enough and can rather focus on the blessings you already have in your arms and the next generation.

Yes I kept thinking, is fair to the kids THEMSELVES to have SO MANY? I think it's much better to have 3-4 kids if you can possibly afford even that? I'm an only child...I'm always outnumbered by my parents. I think having 2 kids can be difficult...if they don't get along. But what the hell do I know?? I have NO KIDS! My parents made having one child look so hard I decided when I was a kid not to have kids! My mother gave me to granny for the first 5 years and then spent the NEXT 5 years screaming and crying! Fed me on cookies 3X a day and didn't brush my hair. Once I moved out at 17, she finally cleaned the house.

I thought the tv family were 23 or 21 were the biggest family in Britain? Im confused.

This is quite old now. I wonder if they had another baby afrer the last as at 42 it might be better less chance of that due to mother's age. You can tell when it was made by the 1990s/80s computer shown. I had 5 and worked (we both worked full time ) and I never ever ironed!

Completely agree about the attention, but 'hand me downs' are not something which ruins a childhood. I'm the eldest of only 2 children, but we didn't have much (financially speaking) and I wore the 'hand me downs' of the daughter of my parents' friends. I always got so excited when a big bag of them turned up!! It was a real treat for me and never had a negative impact on my general happiness.

Amazing..i have 2 children,theyre adults now 21 and 30 but i felt i couldnt give them all the individual time they needed so i dont know how they manage it,to me impossible...how do they do it? Each lil miracle need so much one on one plus family time...boggles my mind

This was over 2 decades ago and least they didn't claim benefits like the radfords did, the radfords were claiming £68,000 a year in benefits up until 2012 as they said noel only worked 16 hours a week in his pie shop but when the benefit cap of £22,000 came into place in 2013 he then salaried working full time and then the went on 16 kids and counting the radfords having been claiming benefits since there first child was born in 1989 when sue was 13 and noel was 17, at least this family work hard.

I feel so sorry for that older boy who was hiding away in his bedroom and seemed not to want to be part of the madness. Not every child will have a personality that can handle this complete lack of alone time and privacy. Don't feel they genuinely see any of their kids as individual human beings with completely unique needs (which simply CANNOT be met with this many kids in the family). The mother clearly has psychological issues...her obsession with continually having more and more children isn't healthy behaviour. 100% convinced the father has just been dragged along for the ride. He looks shell shocked. He should have put his foot down after the 'agreed upon' 6 (still too many, imo) and insisted his wife went to therapy.
