Every family is a little unconventional in their own way. Whether your parents are divorced, your siblings are far apart in age, or some other circumstance that is unique to you, there is no “normal” when it comes to families and how they should operate.

Sometimes, these special conditions even make our families closer together and more bonded.

Some of these special families are actually so interesting and unique in their own way that television networks like TLC and MTV have picked up reality shows based around their lives. You may have seen many of these shows in the past, but if you’ve never heard of '17 Kids and Counting,'  a documentary based around the lives of Britain’s largest family, you haven’t seen anything yet!

The family is known as the Radford family, and their story began over 20 years ago. The parents of the children, Sue and Noel, met when they were children and got married when they got older.

The childhood sweethearts always discussed the prospect of having a family, but they had only ever talked about having three children of their own. As the birthing processes of these children came and went without any problems, they decided to keep going.

Although many people feel like it is their purpose in life to have children, the experience was so full of happiness for the Radfords that they decided to build their family until it was unconventionally large.

And now, as Sue is pregnant with her seventeenth child, her oldest daughter Sophie is also pregnant for the second time! The mother and daughter duo happily celebrate their pregnancies together in an experience that not many families get to experience.

Some people need government assistance in order to pay for all of the things that a large family needs. But this family, despite having the financial burden of many children, provides for these kids all on their own.

They work and support their large family by having a successful business that they built from the bottom up- a notable local bakery. Their reality show follows their journey through parenthood and pregnancy, and in the latest clips, you can watch and learn about Sue and Sophie’s pregnancy journeys together.

What do you think about this unconventional family? How many children do you want, and would you ever consider having a family this large? Let us know in the comments - and make sure you pass this along to your friends and family!
