  • Episode 6 - The Allans and the Hanns
    The parents of two supersized broods struggle to decide when to jump off the baby making roller coaster. Amanda Allan thinks 11 is enough, but the Hanns are keen to expand their 12 strong brood.
    What’s life like when you have enough children to field your own football team? How do mums of large families keep on top of it all and how do they cope when the kids grow up and start moving on? Does the desire for having a large family feed down into the younger generations?
    When two kids are more than enough to get most of us worrying about money and life, how do these big families cope?
    This series will answer some of the unanswered questions from the first series, revealing the forensic detail of how these enormous families function on a day-to-day basis.
    Real Families brings you stories of modern day family life from around the world through the eyes of children, parents, and parenting experts.

      @@octaviae22 babysitting means: the care of a child or children while the parents are out.
      Being a babysitter means that you have someone else's life in your hands and that in itself is a tremendous responsibility. Having to look after one or more children can be tiring, frustrating and sometimes difficult to cope with - even for experienced adults.

    I’m one of twelve children-#7 and a twin. I remember feeling enormous guilt that the extremely rare moments of personal attention that I’d receive from a parent meant that my other siblings were going to be acutely and inversely deprived of that tiny personalized dose of parental love.
    I was washing cloth diapers in a bucket at the age of 4. My eldest siblings weren’t allowed to eat until after they fed all of the youngest ones. The eldest ones never wanted children because they were forced all of their lives to raise younger siblings.
    You don’t get hugged enough by your parent when there’s so many. Plus the stress of it all causes parents to be crying, screaming or hitting their kids ten times more behind closed doors.
    I will say that it’s probably easier for children in big families to assimilate out in society and they’re frequently less selfish than a single child might be.
    One brother owned and ran a theater company. Another brother was a CEO of 500 employees. Another owned his own tile company. It teaches you incredible initiative skills and how to deal with large numbers out in society. But I was incredibly starved for alone time. I cherish being alone to this day. I also have a terror of situations that are not staffed well enough. Parents should never force their children to be the primary caregivers of the younger siblings.

    I work in child care and 90% of the time its the children from families like this that come in seeking attention because they aren't getting it at home. Just because you can afford/want to have a massive number of kids, doesn't mean you should. The children often suffer, especially the older ones who tend to end up with too much responsibility for kids that aren't theirs.

    I don't mean this as hate but what bothers me is that number one, the older kids have to be "mommy" too and pick up the work and watch the kids...wrong. If you can not care for your children yourself, then you should not have anymore. The other is that the kids already here are out of control. Horrible behavior. It is sad to me. I was a teacher and I can't imagine these kids in school. The parents would find it much easier if they had some sort of discipline plan in place and the kids behaved better. And for the daughter wanting to have a big family and the boyfriend saying no no no...you have to be on the same page BEFORE you do that and if one is against...it will cause problems

It's not fair on the oldest kids, when the parents decide to 'get their social lives back' and the oldest are left to look after them. Though I am in a better situation, because my little siblings are actually well behaved! These kids kick and scream and spit, it's awful. My parents managed to teach all of us, plus cousins they looked after, to be well behaved and kind, and knew to stop at 6, so they could properly care for their kids. Just think about the long term effects on you and your kids!

      For religious people to have nine, ten, twelve plus children seems very selfish given that each child will lack a good level of undivided parental attention and, of course there is the real issue of population explosion.
      Often, children are home schooled and interact solely with family members. Not such a great preparation for life in the real world.

    all for having a big family but maybe control the children you have before having another one just to of load it to your oldest daughter. and "when you gonna stop breastfeeding, your not a baby" your the mum, its your flippin decision

      but 5 year olds are almost always brats seriously, I'm Mormon like them, and my five year old cousin is 5 and he is edging on being a brat because he's the only child as of now and gets spoiled by his father who doesn't even live with him, sorry i just rambled anyway what i was saying most 5 year olds are brats. sorry for rambling 😳.

    These families CANNOT afford so many children. There are parents with one or two children who are struggling to make ends meet, while their taxes go to families like these. It is incredibly selfish.

    This one mother here is like the one in other episodes, the one with the 12 daughters and 1 son: Partying with her daughters, thinking they are her best friend ... and the way she behaved with the young boys at the club, that's disgusting. Those women must have some serious issues, apart from being addicted to babys.
    The teenage daughters are more reasonable though. I liked it when they openly told their mother that she is delusional if she seriously thinks their friends are always coming over to admire a new baby. Or the disgusted look and comment of the one girl, when the mother said how cool it would be if she and her daughter were pregnant together. At least some one has some sense in this house.

      I was amazed she didn't take her oldest with her to stay at the B&B. Plus we didnt get to see a mother daughter conversation with them where they're asking each ithervwhst they think us going on at home without mum being there like you would normally in these documentaries which suggests they aren't normally that close.
