We Can't Stop Having Kids! | 17 Kids & Counting

- This Absolute Documentary explores the lives of Britain's biggest family and how they cope with their chaotic and unique lives. Sue and Noel Radford have 16 kids already and they aren't stopping there. The couple were both given up for adoption at birth and due to their neglected childhoods wanted a big family. Sue first fell pregnant with Chris at just 14 in 1989 and was determined to keep the baby. She married Noel four years later - and they were soon expecting their second child Sophie. From then onwards she gave birth to a new child every year for over a decade. But as they try for number 17 there are complications and the family is faced with some life-changing news.

Seems like it would be a chaotic household, but I think they handle it very well. They really, genuinely love their children and none of them are forgotten or looked over. I absolutely adore them.
I have seen the other documentaries about this family and they are wonderful. Handle everything with such ease. Never hear parents yelling or losing it. Consequently happily content.
So much love in this family... the children are thoughtful caring and respectful of each other. And so much laughter. It's lovely
I came from a big family of 8 siblings, and more is not necessarily worse, except for the space, but we had a boys room, a girls room and parents room. As the older children grow up and help with the younger ones, they turned out to be GREAT parents and community leaders. It taught us patience and forgiveness following frustration and anger. All of that. We had hand me downs, but so did all the cousins! Our families passed down shoes and clothes to the next sizes. The younger ones learned faster, as they had older ones as tutors. Playing "school" was one of our favorite "games" :) We were lucky to be living in an agricultural town where a lot of our family & friends brought fresh vegetables home, our grandparents had a small farm with lots of chickens, we had recipies to stretch a small amount of meat to stretch. We did eat well, our snacks were apples and oranges fresh from the trees and ran around the neighborhood (and further) without fear. There was always a partner to go with you. I had 3 girls, lost one and I wish I had more! This family has all the heart in the world with all hearts beating as one
We only have four, but that is how we thrive. Especially things getting more and more expensive. Hand me downs were a big deal for us as kids, too, and my kids. My sister came over just today to hand me some bags of clothes back from me handing them off to her. They'll go for her next again. I am done after this one. It is financially irresponsible for us to have any more, or we absolutely would.
I'm devastated that they lost two little babies. Some people think it's easier as the baby wasn't born yet but that couldn't be further from the truth. I know that time has passed since this happened but you are all in my prayers. Xx
I didn't realise she'd lost 2 ..SO sad
Luke looks so much like Chloe; it's like he's her 'mini me'. After Chloe left for college having him around must have been a real joy, because he was a reminder of his sister, and is such a good kid.
i know this is really old, the house has changed over the years.. and seeing a young millie and chloe.. so much has changed.. millie with her little one.. aww baby Alfie Thomas.. rip little one.
Where do I watch them now like the a video where there grown up
@@wolracstreet2535 - watch the old vlogs or watch the tv show
@@wolracstreet2535 they have a UA-cam channel called the Radford Family
Seems chaotic. I would love to hear perspectives from the children with many siblings to see how they truly feel.
They’ve had another 5 or somthing since this was aired 😂
They have youtube channel. Millie had a girl recently :)
It's a lot ...and I would like to act like it's horrible ...but it seems like having that many people love you is probably amazing
Im the youngest of a big family, as we're many of my classmates. The drawback for me, was my parents had me at 40 & 43. One died at 50, the other around 70. My only memories, are of them as senior citizens. But! I have very close relationships with my 20+ nieces and nephews; who are closer to my age, than my own siblings. It evens out.
What a beautiful family. Amazing parents.
I love these People , and Their Way of life💕
They went on to have Hallie, Phoebe Archie, Bonnie and Heidi!
Yep
Heidie
And ophelia but that's millie's child I think
@@Eva-wd1ct yes she is the grandaughter
@@Eva-wd1ct Millie has really grown up so fast . I'm happy for her
They have got to be the Planet’s most loving wonderful family ever!
There’s got to be a waiting list in heaven to get in with these guys! 🥰🥰❤️💕
They all lovely and looking forward to new series coming out channel 5
And Millie has a baby now as well
"I hope they're completely stone deaf, this couple." Me too, Noel...me too.
Beatifull family.
This is the one episode I feel sorry, for the children. Can't experience the zoo at the cost of it. Unable to afford the price of it. Children running after the little ones.
I do worry that the parents rely too much on their identity as parents especially the mother. She's scared of the children growing up and leaving because then she has to address who she is if not a full time care giver to children. I think that a lot of mothers suffer from that identity crisis but once their children are more independent gives them the opportunity to discover themselves and their hobbies/interests more and become more well rounded people not just mum
Well,she’s happy and really that’s all that matters isn’t it?
@@bloodmoon1956 Well if "being happy" is all that matters we would have an even more selfish world. Considering others and your own happiness is the decent thing to do. Not saying anything about this woman specifically but in general.
I realise how much they look alike to how some of the young children now
Congrats to 17 kids!
Love the Radfords and watch their UA-cam channel all the time.
What the channel
@@e-kerajermiece the Radfords
I absolutely adore this family!! The love of having such a tribe...im so envious of the relationship they have and the patience with the children..God love them
I think having so many children is amazing but I know I wouldn't be up to the challenge
Would you if you were given $10,000,000 dollars
Lovely family
They have 22 kids now and Millie has a little girl
Me my brother and my sister all have adhd and I'm just imagining all these kids having it and how chaotic it would be
Even they are a lot of kids their house looks tidy n clean.....nice fam..
I'm so sorry Sue
is no one going to talk about Daniel and how cute he is hahaha
A really adorable family x🥰🥰🥰
Ah omg put a knot on it
She looks amazing for a lady with 17 kids!
The kids just run wild! It’s impossible to parent properly with this many kids.
It's not chores, it's life skills.
To learn how to survive when your out in the big world.
This was filmed 5 babies ago
this is fantastic,life as it should and will be ,if you have 2 or 17 this is how it will be,,only a bit more expensive xx
My nan had 11 kids, this family has doubled that they have 22 now
They have 22 now
Euwww
@@Rat_Queen86 whats wrong with that? As long as they are taking care of them it shouldn't matter what you think.
@@Rat_Queen86 Watch their Vlogs
Even tho there r a lot of them there an amazing family (I live nr them!!) xx
How small Lola the dog is here😘😘
I would to visit this dafily
This is outdated - from 2014. They have 22 children now.
Christmas must be expensive then
They look great and blessed with no stretch marks
Wtf
It's nice family. But kinda unfair to the girls. Why the boys don't have to do anything?
The boys dislike being on camera, and they don't make them. Seeing one of them, can't remember which hovering around Millie when she went into labour and fixing her hot water bottle etc was sweet, they're there when they need to be.
The boys prefer to be off camera they do do stuff
@@turbocat1984 I remember this, think it was Luke, very close in age and they get on really well with each other. If I am remembering correctly what Sue said at the time. 😁
Lol “9:31” now whose given you that?! Lmao
How did she lose her baby?
As Long as they have enough to provide .👍🏿💯👍🏿...Nice big Family..and many off springs to take after you when you age...Because that's what children are for..so they wont be lonely in their old age..thats IMPORTANT...It was only me and my l brother when It came time to care for the parent in dispair...Difficult when you have to WORK...AND YOU DONT WANT TO PUT THEM IN A OLD PEOPLES ESTABLISHMENT....I LOVE MY FAMILY TOO MUCH FOR THAT...SO, LUCKILY that wont happen for these type of BIG FAMILIES...🙏🏿💯👍🏿
A large house definately helps too x
YOUR CHILDREN ARE EXCEPTIONALLY HANDSOME AND PRETTY… they can be actors or actresses and or models😊😊😊😊😊
No they not scruffs they are
Check other video they are now 21 😊
I didn't realize she had lost 2😥
The daughter Chloe that left for Uni is the double of my cousin
They have had another 5 now!
Terrible to make the oldest girl pitch in to babysit and manage the household. There are older brothers. Make them do some of the work.
Amazing how most of these comments are about how loving the family is. No one is willing to address the fact that the 12yr old will be expected to act as a parent?? Yeah great parents!
Church or synagogue must provide assistance, these family is doing a service to the nation.
As far as I'm concerned as long as the husband is providing I dont know why you lot have such an opinion on a family that have nothing to do with your life what so ever, they have a family pie business, atleast there not sitting on benefits like most couples who have multiple children and moan that benefits ain't enough for their kids. Before they capped child tax credits at 2 kids I said a few years before it should be for one kid not all because some woman sadly have kids just to get benefits so they don't have to work
I totally agree with you on this one it makes my blood boil
They dint claim benefits at all
@@maevegrace5845 no but they still cost the tax payer. That's 17+ kids being born, 17+ kids nhs and schooling and countless other things. Yes I 100% agree, they work and dont claim benefits and should be proud. They are also nice people and don't deserve the trolling. But people do neglect to recognise the cost of such large families to the tax payers and they are not able to ever make contributions that equal that
@@georginacat7667 but you aren’t paying extra for their children
@@maevegrace5845 no this is true but their children are adding to the overall tax cost
With which money?
What do you mean?
The guy has his own bakery. They work if that’s what you mean
he owns his own bakery and their are expanding the buissness, theyve brough new premises
Their money they have never claimed benefits
There's another video "truly" in which they say they claim £160+ in benefits a week.
Lol little hungry kiddos!! Going and helping themselves 😂
“Can’t” suggests it’s something beyond your control. Won’t is a better word here. Selfish would be another fitting word.
If they want children there are thousands that can be adopted
YES!!!!!
You are right, why do people go out of there way to make more people when there are lots of already existing ones just waiting for a new family (maybe not this one as it is already pretty packed)
Why adopt when they can have their own? How about people who can't have kids should adopt instead of having a surrogate mother to have their baby.
@@marypeters4576 well that's the thing, every one who wants a kid should consider adoption before adding another homosapiens to the population
@@FirstnameLastname-co2cq Do you have any kids?
Does anyone honestly believe that just one mom and one dad can give 16 children the attention they really need? So they fully make sure they are not just physically brought up right but mentally, and socially also. An I realize the older children will help with the younger children but is that fair to both of them let alone ideal for their development ? All that aside from what this shows of the family they seem well adjusted and very loving. Best of luck to y’all!
Got on tv in newspapers all because she had a baby nearly every year, what is she and her husband trying to prove and before anyone jumps on my comment with they pay for their own children that's not the point what kind of life is it for the older children looking after the next sibling that comes along
She has 22 kids now
These children are far more loved and supported than 90% of children growing up in the world today!! If they make a positive impact on the world and the souls IMPRISONED on it, then their existence in this realm is imperative!!!
Ik what they did 17 times 😂😂
Why ?
Because they want to have 22 children it’s none of your business
It is there business when they brag to people on line they are a disgrace in my eyes when she says we are very lucky oh really I think you are very selfish the screaming they do in that van it's a wonder you don't crash this country is a mess with the likes of you
@@paulinebirchall4222 what do they brag about? Why are they a disgrace? And how low are you hoping they crash
Theres multiple boys why are millie and chloe expected to do it all
The boys prefers to not be on camera
Are they rich or on the dole?
Christmas seems to be a day when nobody goes without at the Radfords. They seem very happy, sweet, and caring.
Does anyone else think these children look scruffy and in need of haircuts, hairbrushing, and newly ironed clothes? They seem lacking in training and discipline, but I nevertheless wish them the best in life.
So uh, contraception exists guys 👍
And some people don't believe in it. Thats their choice.
They have 22 kids now
To each his own guys.
They want 22 children it’s their choice not yours
They wanted a big family & you have no right to judge that. All kids are well looked after & loved & never received benefits they own a pie business. Lovely family love watching their you tube
This is very selfish, what do you mean the 12 years old is going to take on the responsabilities of the oldests ? She is 12 😢
This i on the border of child abuse
Yes i agree from a personal experience I really thing if parents decide to have more kids they should take care of them and it shouldn’t be the older children responsibility
@@Alist_morris i hope everything is going well for you now and that this didn't robb you from any opportunities ✋🏽
@@FirstnameLastname-co2cq thank you 🙏
She is not 12 now. They have 22 kids now.
Your idea that children are excused from responsibility because they are children is a VERY child like, and immature way of looking at the world!! The world and the people in it don't DESERVE ANYTHING just because they are born!! It is the parents responsibility to teach their children to be responsible, to do chores, to work for EVERYTHING that you have... if anything happens to those children in the future, or they lose their parents... those kids will ALL not only be able to care for themselves, but they will also be capable of caring for their own families and then some!!! Biggest mistake a parent could make is not teaching children how to care for themselves and others!! ITS the entire definition of love and life... if your living only for yourself... that is the epitome of selfish!!!!!
Too manychildren its not right
Their choice not yours
Their choice
No one cares RUTH
Being a baker is a great trade/craft not to mention fairly simple to do if you're good at it. That house is huge & it's an accomplishment go to college. Here's a hint though, stop having so many babies.
Great for the hubby ! Lots of free child support from the government ! No wonder the immigrants are swimming across from France !
When is there enough children?
I couldn't deal with the chaos & noise.
It's selfish to just keep reproducing.
Sue soon will be in the change of life, what then? She won't be of childbearing age forever.
What about her having a life of her own?
Chloe is so hot
Amazing kids but horrendous parents
its sad and pathetic the level of ignorance, selfishness of these so called "parents". I hope that this is as fake as most reality shows are.
This ain’t fake
@@hiiiiiiii3028 that is unfortunate :(
@@cantfindausernamedam why? In them I find hope for the future. Cause they have preserved and defended life. To each his own.
They are a great family who wanted a big family. The children are all loved & wanted, have traveled overseas many times. They have a pie business so no benefits at all. Keep your judgements to yourself!
@@debgreene9038 yah I guess having a legacy of selfishness and overcompensating is something. Status quo is a couple kids... 17 and counting tho.. Wow.. he must be a real man!! Lets hope he breaks that 25 kids mark and show us all !!
What's the biggest problem on the planet? Hmmm ... 2 or 3 would suffice... Pathetic.
This has no honor, you have made 22 slaves and laborers for the rich people.🤮🤮🤮🤮🤬🤬🤬
They have got to be the Planet’s most loving wonderful family ever!
There’s got to be a waiting list in heaven to get in with these guys! 🥰🥰❤️💕
