    Idc what these people say, there literally is not enough time in the day to work, take care of all these children without relying on the older ones to step in and help raise (feed, change diapers, play, shower them, babysit) the younger ones. There is also not enough time to meet all of these kids emotional needs. A seven minute video is not going to change my mind on that.

      And do they look like they care about your opinion? Even families with just 2 kids get help from the older ones, it's not revolutionary. And these kids that supposedly don't get enough attention are better behaved than some spoiled brats who are an only child or whatnot.

    This short clip is one lie after another, watch their actual vlogs and you will see the differences. They say the older children dont help, they feed and put the younger children to bed. Its lovely that the older children have such a wonderful bond with the younger ones but they should be out with their friends.
    Yes the dad works, but hes not on a big enough wage to support the family, a simple calculation will tell you they recieve about £3k a month in benefits. Only £200 a week on food when they've said previously they spend over £300 a week, the kids get 1 or 2 nutrirional meals a week, the rest of the time its processed food and mashed potato.
    Refuse to pay their gas/electric bill because the companys are greedy, yes they are but we all have to pay. Squatting in a married quarter because they cant find anywhere else to live, they should have moved out of that house 6 months a go.
    The kids have never been on holiday or visited family, again another thing theyve openly admitted. They massively favour one child in their vlogs, complimenting their appearence and how cute they are infront of the other children. And dont come at me saying i dont know them because everything ive said is shown in their vlogs. Peace out ✌️

Well should have to suffer like the rest of us and put extra layers on, amazing benefits pay for heating to be on that much!!
      Buy branded cereal which they have said is £5 a box!
      Zoe always hiding away upstairs packing away old clothes or cleaning the bathroom. Never taken Joseph or flo to a baby class or library or soft play. She loves it when the older kids are on study leave so they occupy the kids! Openly admits that. She is always hiding away upstairs.

      👏 👏 can’t agree more with all you have said, the vlogs they put out are so contradictory to this- the kids all have food issues because the parents feed them rubbish while they eat “the best” food themselves
      they openly state in vlogs the kids watch them eat chinese takeaways on xmas eve, or they’ve had a bbq in the summer after the kids were out to bed, and one of the younger twins let slip they saw them having the bbq from the bedroom window😢
      all the comments they are reading out are true , they get fed a plate of mash for dinner , again they have openly said this several times. The only time they have a roast dinner is at Christmas 😮

      @Achlys Miller I'm afraid I don't understand the relevance of your comment, the sullivans may budget but they budget with tax payers money. Ben has openly admitted his wage, they've said on previous television programmes that they spend at least £300 a week on food, rent and food is all they'd be able to afford on his wage, so where is the rest of the money coming from for the rest of their bills? They've also said they have 8 phone contracts! Where's all the money coming from because it certainly isn't from 'budgeting'? Also, most people who have to budget don't buy cupboards full of branded junk food and branded freezer food. Have you even watched any of their vlogs on their actual channel?

They buy very little in the way of veg if any at all and considering there's 14 of them, the amount of fruit they buy is negligable! The recommended portions of fruit and veg a day is at least 5. 5 times 14 is 70 portions a day and there's nowhere near that in their shopping hauls!

Ben has been in the RAF for over 20 years yet they have made no plans to buy their own house. They are still in Raf housing and all Zoe does is moan about it! It wasn’t unexpected Ben was leaving the forces. That house is an absolute tip, I would be too embarrassed to share it in social media. As for the food shopping, the vlogs are all the same. They buy the same things every week. It is all branded and then Zoe complains she has to dip into next months food budget. They want to grow their channel but they don’t interact with people when they comment and don’t follow good advice people are giving them. Can’t afford their gas and electric bill so don’t pay all of it which means it will affect their credit rating🙄 they mentioned on a recent vlog they need to improve it but again why didn’t they do this years ago as they knew Ben was leaving the RAF.

Rent (which they haven't had to pay I believe), heating (which admittedly they sometimes choose not to pay), clothes (they do wear a lot of branded gear - no idea why; unbranded is as good and a fraction of the the price), activities (swimming, adventure parks, starbucks etc, Friday Chinese takeaway for Ben and Zoe) and that would be for 14 people (i believe in a video i watched, zoe said the direct debit for heat was either 4 or 5 hundred so now we're in negative values). They don't socialise much otherwise; i know Zoe rarely goes for the walks with the family (in the videos, that is; she might outside of them) but that activity is free of charge and very healthy - i love to see it though I'd prefer her involvement. The UK government allows for them to claim benefits, even if it clearly doesn't sit-well with everyone. One second doing that maths makes you realise unless they live a very poor life-style and accrue gross debt every year, that they are claiming benefits. There's no shame in that; my family did. But there's no point denying it. They've spoken about buying a house which i'd love for them, so if that is possible then it involves every benefit available.

    1. She said that they spend $2.50/2 pounds/day/person on food. Unless there is food aid that's not being counted, this seems really low.
    2. They said that the older ones aren't helping to raise the kids. They are actively helping with the kids in the video and they can easily watch this one. They should give credit, where credit is due as it can be hurtful for their contributions to be dismissed. This might not be ideal for their image and this doesn't take away from the effort they put in, but it's reality. There are so many kids, so there's plenty to do. The kids are also a part of their UA-cam business.

Hope it helped cause those kids deserve the funds to go to them since they by definition are exploited because of their child count being something to be at the most innocent/non-judgmental opinion is bewilderment at best. Blessing to this family not because of anything else other than those kids deserve more than what their parents have decided to define themselves as: baby makers and the world is against them for it. It's interesting seeing parents who did not grow up with the internet and social media how they USE that knowledge NOW to be behaving like this and thinking the exploiting of TLC and Kardashin glamor and trash of having a camera crew or yourselves/parents valuing looking through that lens more than their "beautiful" children "they produced and take perfect care of." Any parent of even one child saying we are perfect parents and meet every expectation and the kids get: continues to list basic needs unemotionally. Notice how not ONE child is discussed as a human being more so than a number or the child of these parents. It's impossible in any human relationship to be perfectly doing everything the other person needs.

    The hatred toward family in this modern society is amazing. I think having a big family is beautiful. People should be more supportive toward families of every size. I am a single mom of one. The hardest thing about being a single mom was not the money. It was the lack of support I got from my community, i.e. school, daycare, etc.

      Overpopulation is a myth. Earth has enough space and resources for us and many more... we are simply atrociously bad at managing them.
      Even if you dont agree with me, the fact is these super big families are extremely rare, so they wont ever contribute to overpopulation. If everyone had 14 kids then we would probably have overpopulation, but seriously, for every 14 kid family there may be like 1000+ couples without kids or with just one.

My own father had 15 brothers and sisters and they only had two bedrooms for the kids. I know those were other times but still, I would have both a play room and a quiet room in there, enough bedrooms so that the oldest children have their private space at least, stuff like that.

    The most selfish irresponsible parents. Raking the money in through benefits as he earns so little. Most of their kids have mental health issues due to their parenting.
    Their philosophy is let kids eat what they want including no fruit, veg or meat. That way it means they don’t develop eating disorders except one child now has an ED, one has a fake milk allergy, me won’t eat hot food. The child that wanted to eat tuna was laughed at and made to feel like she was asking for the world. The poor baby was taken off milk at around 6 months as she’s so advanced according to Ben 🤦🏼‍♀️
    She only tried a banana a week before her first birthday.
    There house is a fire risk, wardrobes on the stairs, a hallway Zoe can barely fit through.
    Homeless but spent £400 on a new trampoline and a double buggy. No second hand stuff for these scrounges. Only branded stuff will do.
    But can’t afford their gas bill or tuna.
    They are so blind to their terrible parenting. However because they drag the kids out walking every weekend they are seen as amazing. They are not the only family to get out in nature away from screens.
    The meals they have a truly terrible. They’ve never had a proper roast followed by a homemade pudding. Cottage pie, fish etc.
    They are self entitled and deluded.

    Sorry to sound like a troll it’s admirable that Ben works full time to support your family but what about the cost to the country 12 family allowances 4 children with complex medical and mental health needs 12 children to be educated that’s a big cost to the country
