#RealFamilies #16KidsAndCounting #Family
Completely irresponsible to have so many children and rely on others to support them.
Not our responsibility, it’s theirs.
Exactly. It's disgusting to expect others to work and pay taxes in order to support you. What if we were all so selfish? And surely all these kids will grow up with a sense of entitlement , refuse to work, and strain the system even further.
It probably wouldn't be AS offensive if he wasn't acting as if it's something that he is entitled to. I found it a bit telling that the mother was just kind of being there....and that's it. She was preparing meals though...and that's quite an accomplishment in and of itself. She's probably exhausted from that alone.
They have a nice home and well behaved children though....so they don't burden any agencies that some large families, even small families, tend to do. For instance Child protection Agencies, cops et al.
Just sayin....
Who else been watching random stuff during quarantine ? 😂
Yes
I do
Me and sometimes I question myself as to why I ended up on a certain video and can't stop looking lol
CARISSA LOVES Me 😂
Mee
As a tax payer I resent the fact that both of the parents are unemployed and in receipt of benefits. If you want a large family, get out there and earn the money to support them. The Radford's do.
I was thinking of that family
They are still selfish in an overpopulated world - what if we all did that?
@@katydid5354 overpopulated. Or have we as A society, rather become complacent In over consumption- we forget everyone deserves A life In abundance at a moderate paste of life?
That’s right !
I'm one of six and was raised on benefits. Neither of my parents ever worked. I remember neighbours whispering things about us and never liking my family. My mum admitted that they had children for benefit money. As we got older, we became really embarrassed and ashamed that our parents were lazy baby makers. The six of us all went to university and have really good jobs. We are nothing like our dole dosser parents.
I kind of think that if you’re on government benefits, there should be a limitation on how many kids you can have while on it. They both look perfectly capable of working and there are large families who support themselves
The littlest one is literally one of the cutest kids I've ever seen. She's so precious.
Such a difference from each family. But one thing both couples seem to be in love w their children, despite how many of them there are lol
They spilt up over a year ago. Gary has his own channel now .
Imagine all of the grandchildren!
I find it very odd that Pete’s older daughters don’t help out with the cooking, etc! It seems very selfish on their part!
I agree
its so selfish he deserves much more help
Agree
I agree! There were eight of us and from the time we could walk both the girls AND the boys helped my mama.
All of the older kids should help out with regular chores.
You have to take responsibility for your family, however many kids you’ve got, you shouldn’t just have loads of kids cos you want them and then have no means of supporting them in any way
right i’m jack the 4 year old boy i’m 13 now and this was filmed in 2012 so our lives our all so different now check out the freer family on youtube for an update
I mean I don’t think it’s necessarily their fault, 2 children need a lot of care for their conditions and the mum also has an illness too. They could cope and then they hit some issues which all families do.
@@meganmakin1348 I Share Your Sentiment , Megan Makin 💫🤗🙌🏾🫶🏽
wait what.. none of them are working??
They are all older now! Check “freerfamily” on UA-cam
Well I can’t blame them, since they have a sick child who needs surgeries for his stomach & another son who has ADHD! 💁🏽♀️
@@prettyllady huh what does that have to do with both of them not working? especially the one with adhd..
@@charleykeight7175 I'd be very astonished if they weren't older! 🤣🤣
The Radfords have like 20 children and both of the parents work. If you want so many kids, try to atleast work
Only the dad works although it’s nobody’s business
C W sue does work
Lola Graham no she doesn’t it’s one of the girls. Anyway what difference does it make ? They area lovely family and their finances are their business
C W she does noel put it on his story
Well that sue works but it didn’t say bakery
Very nice of the public to support them. Wonder what will happen when all the kids leave the nest. They will have no income and no recent work history. I hope the kids will support them when they are older.
Paul Freer is such a sweetheart. It's such a shame he's got this illness bless him
Domine Wimbury I’m his brother jack he was 7 then now he’s 14 nearly 15 his illness is not as severe now because of the number of operations he’s had
Runzz Jet Thank god he's fine. Good to know.
@@Trent_Alexander_Arnold66 oh that's great to hear
Gary an kirsty arent together anymore
That is why we decide not to have so many kid's as we couldn't afford them. Food is expensive now.
Lmao Pete looks tortured! I hope he and his son bonded really well, I just hope his kids takes up some responsibility like if your 17-19 you should wake yourself up and make breakfast for yourself/ the family.
@Nenethegreat W I really hate that oh you should not live with your parents/ move out stigma just because your 18/19 doesn't mean you have to move out, it's best to move when you can afford it some 18/19 years old live with mum and dad because they can not afford rent or to buy a house.
They are on benefits? There is so much I can say, never mind.
I was left speechless as well🙊
My mouth was suddenly dry. That's how I realized my jaw was on the floor.
They are seperated now, he works and she does as well
🤣🤣That's crazy. 16 children on benefits?
Who is paying the bills??? Is the teen’s baby daddy paying support?
I doubt it, all on benefits!🙄
BENEFTIS, it's the new trend now a days. Breed as many kids as possible and the state pays your way. No need for work. And don't mind the actual working people pay for them having kids.
@@lokibae2448 £26,000 a year with "just" £500 a week.
Dad works they've split up now they have UA-cam channel
@Karen Gunn Wait.. you are telling people to mind their own business after they have watched a 44 minute show all about people's private lives and business? lmao
If I had a big family I'd get the present throughout the year and try my best to make sure that they don't destroy the wrapping paper so that it can be re used
I love the Freers. I wish I would have had loving caring parents like that and a bunch of siblings.
The family that don’t work are a disgrace, the parents are children themselves and the household is a disorganised mess with unruly children with no boundaries.
Pete is probably the best dad 12 daughters and 1 son. He doesn't even depend on benefit but self-employed. Bravo to Pete. Ok, Horton hears a Who.
Tracy and her Daughters really have a good relationship with each other, even if it was just staged and the same with the Sisters. They looked like they really got on with each other too.
These people have no control over themselves. Have they never heard of contraception?
Even if you use contraception women can still get pregnant, contraception is not 100% effective.
Sorry they have 16 kids, then he has to give up work to help look after them.
So taxpayers pay for his inanity bad
The man worked for 25 years as a long-distance lorry driver. In most civilized G8 countries, that would qualify him for a full pension. I don't live in Britain, but I am surprised to learn he doesn't qualify for a retirement package after 25 years. Somehow I assumed Britain had evolved beyond that level. I also agree that children come first, so their needs must supersede any nation's attitude toward care for those in need versus required years of service in the workforce.
You only get your pension when you hit retirement age.
additional: some people's ignorance is astounding though, people seem to forget that this man worked for many years and paid taxes into a system that is designed to help people in need and when he and his family need it you all bloody complain that you are paying for it!!!
He took it upon himself to educate their son which by the way is every parents responsibility to see that a child has an education suitable for the childs needs, age and aptitude, its not the governmnent or the schools responsibility, its the parents, look up the law!
His wife has arthritis and his kid is sick, but you'd all rather he was at work while she struggled and their son's needs went unmet, have a good long look at yourselves, would you prefer their ADHD son having to go into care or some sort of facility? or do you think he should be with his family?....
@Smart Play The US Military after 20 years you get retirement. Not sure it's the same for government workers. But that is the only case that I know of that you can get retirement right after retirement. LOL
@Smart Play in Italy you get a minimum pension after 20 years contributions.
Seriously? Not sure what planet you live on. Retirement age was 65 for men 60 for women for years now its raise because so many people live longer. You have to have enough people in work to pay for those on pensions and benefits, pay for the national health service etc. Benefits should be there as a safety net not a way to live to keep churning out kids when those you have got already have needs, and especially when you are asking other people to support them. Fine if you are supporting them yourself but otherwise 2 or 3 is enough!!!!!
Gary and Kirstie are no longer together. Gary does work now. They have/had their own channel.
Good Lord the child support he must pay !
What was the name of their show
That's 😢 sad
@@jillgott6567 'the freer family vlogs' is their channel name
Still called Freer Family Vlogs
You know what I changed my mind yes it’s a lot of kids but he did work 25 years ! But good luck to them
They both stay home 🙄 Sweet Jesus. Provide for your kids or don't have that many.
he was working for 25 years paying tax and only quit to support his children who need extra care and his wife who’s ill.
I admire both families good on them watching super nanny ppl can’t control or discipline with few kids these guys are amazing big hugs from Sydney Australia guys
Now these families are precious and oh so busy! They all seem utterly normal and loving!
Just because theres a camera in front of them..
it seems like both household are happy and loving even though its always with children
yeah and I help pay for them
I don't understand why the dad has to stay home and not work if the mother doesn't work.......or vise versa
Old footage!! They aren't even married anymore!! Gary has carried on with their UA-cam channel.
Thank you. I just put that. People hate and it’s silly. Gary and older kids does work 🙄😊
I actually like both families. Love is truly visible. Two parents work and two parents don't but they all make do. I always do feel like if you're going to make so many you should not depend on the government for everything but I also understand having sick kids and being their carer.
@Nenethegreat W Amen. Do you feel better now?
@@Greentree805 …😂 in stitches over your comment, made my day! Not much to laugh about during lockdowns due to this pandemic but …. I’m still laughingggggggggggggggg
@@JojoplusBo 😉😉
Hmmm feel free to have a reversal and try for another when I am not paying for you to have so many kids. Support the ones you have got. Shame on you for having so many on benefits. This is not what benefits are for.
This was years ago. He does work now.
He worked with all of his kids and had 2 more on benefits, he paid into a system that is there to support people when they need it, never judge until you know the full scenario.
Why did Gary and Kirsty have two more after he gave up work?! Madness 🙄🤦♀️
Their not even together anymore x
Nina Coppard what? Where did you find that out?
Domine Wimbury Becuase people love Kids. When I grow up I’m working as a nurse who help children. AND ADOPT 5 KIDDIES UwU
Gachini_Edie they have a yt channel
@@nobodyasked2711 the freer family UA-cam channel he's not with kirsty anymore and works
Freer family dad took a break to help care for one of the kids having a harder time on the mom. This was eons ago. Family split recently. The child is question grew up. He works now. They have been doing UA-cam for quite some time. Gotta give em credit for being willing to think outside the box for some income. The dad enjoys cooking.
when you can relate with 5 sister, mum and dad im also a girl so 7 girls and my dad
Does your dad have his own man cave? 😃
Oh my goodness, Freer parents! Parent your children!!!
"What do you think your dad likes about being a dad?"
I'm willing to bet that his favorite part is the baby making!
Unbelievable that this family seems proud of the fact that they have nine children ON BENEFITS!!! So shameful that you aren’t paying for your own choices!!!
Pete sounds like professor snape lol 😂
lol
“Mr. Potter” 😂
Pete looks exhausted, bless him
Edit : my dad was scary when he got mad , however he takes good care of his family, he’s just strict ( I’m 38)
Why on earth would anyone waste 4 hrs a day on ironing!
I do admire Pete but where is the male bonding with his only son? He probably does spend time with Charles. It just isn't shown in this.
What a beautiful family .
When you have that many kids you can’t possibly give them the correct amount of attention . I wonder how it feels to be a mother that doesn’t give her kids enough attention and love.
I know what its like to have that many sisters and one brother so I can relate except my brother is way younger than me!!!!! :)
One thing you cannot take away from these families is they all love their kids, and that is all they need in life is to be bought up with love. Good luck to both families I admire both sets of families. The kids are growing up well adjusted and polite what more can you ask.. Well done to both.
Everyone loves their kids but they still get up and go to work every day to provide for them. It isn't fair that they get to mooch off the taxpayers.
Some of this little girls have their dads face the bald guy snd it is kinda hilarious
I love how the dads are cooking.. they step up
I feel sorry for the children. I can't bear to watch.
I don't mind committed long-term couples deciding to have lots of children; just pay for and support them yourself. No Government assistance, no hands-out.
My twin sister and brother went out on a pub crawl at Xmas and came in every time at 2 am !
This was filmed about 8 yrs ago. Loved watching it though.
It always amazes me that these people never consider the load on the planet of a modern human being. You don’t just have a baby-you create a burden for mother earth. And the ridiculous overspending and consumption at Christmas-wtf? $300 per kid? Why? I had one child and never spend that kind of money. We make things for each other.
I use to come home from work knackered as well!
The poor child who is constantly getting sick I hope they found a cure to make him feel better I feel horrible for him 💙
Is it me or does Pete look familiar?
He looks like Fred from Corrie, and everyone's year 10 maths teacher.
They’ve split up now !
Who?
I always wonder what it's like living in a country where you can have as many children as you please and live on "benefits," never needing to work for an income.
Plus a gorgeous council house (no rent) with a patio overlooking the sea! But it's a wasted life with no work ethic and teenagers having more babies in a vicious cycle. Apparently Britain has now changed the rules to discourage this, though, and now only two children per family will get the child benefit. I wonder how they will cope going from thousands of dollars a month to a few hundred. I expect they will have to get jobs now!
@@oliviamartini9700 council house is not a no rent situation.
Their child’s medical condition doesn’t stop him attending school (he is filmed in uniform), yet it takes two parents full time to manage his illness. All they have to do to manage this particular condition is monitor what he eats...yet with not having jobs to ensure they have time to do this...they still find that difficult?
The freer family has a channel on UA-cam
Kirstie D Really?
Yeah
Ever so sad xx
Merry Christmas Mrs Cratchet!
Gary and Kirsty ain’t together no more. I don’t get why all the hate! Yes the kids do all work (not the younger kids of course) some even work away!! They ain’t this young no more. They are all older. This is a old episode. Check them on UA-cam “freer family” 😊 so don’t judge before you know 🙄 and abby’s kid is older now as she has 4. So keep the stupid comments to yourself! And Gary does work now 😊
While I too have an issue with people having a ton of kids and not even trying to support themselves, I will at least give both families this regardless their finances. All the kids look clean, well cared for and love, and most of all, they at least act like polite and nice kids. Some of the mega families on this have kids I’d tell my own “no you can’t go to their house and no, I don’t want them over. They don’t respect other peoples things”
I think u have enough kids ! Plus u don’t support them either so be grateful for what u have !
Did you even watch the video?
Except now (2021) things have changed!! So sad.
Poor Paul hope there is a cure for his disease
Why do some people think they have the right to be so judgemental over the life that is nothing to do with anyone but the family???
Because taxpayers are paying 2000 lbs/month plus a gorgeous council house by the sea for litters of children who aren't even put to bed properly and getting pregnant as teens because "we have no rules, we let them do what they like"?
I think it's crazy how some people are having way to many kids that they can't work and take care of then but some people want kids and can't have any and they ca afford them.
They only show the fun parts. I wonder how the parents maintain discipline.
So why after he gave up and not had more children, stop complaining it's not easy you choose to have all these children to begin with I had two and worked to keep them I didn't live on benifs they were my responsibility.
Don't have any more kids if u don't have jobs and are living on benefits
As long as there children are looked after loved and wanted does it matter what there income is ?? And what has this to do with you anyway if you do not like do not watch and certainly DO NOT comment unnecessary comments !!!
Sometimes there are truly good reasons why parents are on benefits.
In these cases, the couple in Bournemouth are both working.
The couple in Ramsgate, the dad was working but quit to homeschool one of the boys who needed that, and to help with the little one who was going thru several operations!
Not everyone on benefits is just scrounging!!
@@amethyst1826 so true .
I'm sorry but if you have 9 children then you neeed to work to. Provide cannot rely on state benifits
How horrible can you be. He worked for 25 years but had to quit to help his family as 2 of his kids need extra care and his wife is also ill.
Paul sounds like he has EOE
Why have so many children and expect taxpayer's to finance their upbringing...
WRONG...
The common denominator between the mothers of large families appears to be their low self esteem and I.Q.
Taxpayers but Christmas gifts for the Freer children.
How you gunna have so many kids and be lazy and depend on benefits? This should be illegal
It takes two, she wouldn't have a baby if they didn't agree.... That is good that he is taking some responsibility....and hopefully.the children will benefit!
My goodness no routine? Mine were in bed by 8 pm and 8.30 weekends.Routine for meal time and bed time is essential.The kids need their sleep when theyre. small but thats just my opinion I wasnt a strict Mum only at meal times and bed times. Weekends they could sleep in till they woke up themselves
Wow, I've had a driver's license since I was 16.
Omg my hearts breaking for that wee man Paul god love you son pure worry for mum and dad
They are not together now. They have a UA-cam channel
Can you put the link up?
@@XpurlX Hi here is Gary's channel. It's sad for anyone who followed the family but some things in life are like that, I say if you fall in love the main thing is compromise. put this title in the search bar in it will come up. The Freer Family Vlogs
Also, dont claim you gave up work to care for your kids if you cant get them to bed... Thats BS!
6 bedroom house must have big mortgage on there head but it's a must with 10 kids
They r separated now unfortunately
Contraception...!!!
They should takes ace familys house😄😂😂😂
24 and have not moved out yet?
And ?
Beatifull families.
What a wee shame for Paul he’s just super cute
Why do these parents not work??
Ninnas babies nursery I sound like a stupid right winger when I say this but benefits should be for disabled people only. Everyone else has to work
@@Chirpingcherub exactly if you are fully capable get up and work
@@Chirpingcherub Excuse me? There are different types of benefits first of all and second of all what about covid/place being shut and jobs being shut?
They are not together anymore and he's works.
he was working for 25 years paying tax and only quit to support his children who need extra care and his wife who’s ill.
Do they have an Instagram to follow?
Freer family UA-cam they are split up now
That poor little boy being I'll for Christmas
Loved It!
when they live in the same town as you..
If you live on benefits what happens when kids are gone? You don’t own a home or have a pension. Do they still receive benefits?
I was surprised how they teenage boy was working out of a 7-8 year old school book. They mentioned ADD, but there must have been another learning disorder?
Worse than that, he doesn't even know the alphabet!
@@oliviamartini9700 It was a bit strange to see he was being taught to read a clock at the age of 15
they took him out of school at ten because of his behaviour and most likely didn't teach him until the 'dad' could give up work
Can’t believe at 24 that girl isn’t driving, that’s how you know your kids use you to an advantage 🙄smh
