Sue Radford, 22 Kids and Countingrevealed one of the main rules he enforces on his family.
As you might have guessed, she and her husband Noel have a total of 22 children, with their eldest son in his 30s and their younger son not yet old enough to start elementary school.
She said that raising 22 children must be quite difficult, and that during the lockdown, food costs were huge as most of the family lived together in one house.
They have been the subject of several television shows and have been called “Britain's biggest family”.
But in their house, their mother makes the rules, and she recently revealed the rules that apply to all her children.

In an interview with OK!, Sue said she wanted to protect her children from social media as the youngest child in the family is not allowed into the Digital Thunderdome.
With that in mind, she supports the government's plans to ban the use of mobile phones in certain places, such as schools.
In addition to not being allowed to use social media, her rules include not allowing her children to have cell phones until they are 11 years old.
Sue has two eyes and 22 children, so she doesn't know what they're up to all the time.
Her family has faced online trolling, and although she is no longer reading comments, Sue did see a post that included a photo of her daughter Ellie from her 18th birthday. It was “shocking” with people “accusing” her of having an eating disorder.

But it's not just online that Sue and her family receive hate. As she said, “OK!” About unpleasant encounters at the supermarket.
She said: She said: “When she went to Sainsbury's, a woman snorted disapprovingly at me and she gave me the dirtiest look, as if she wanted me dead.'' was.
“When I challenged her, she said she thought 'a lot of people' were going to look at me the same way. It was awful.”
The ban she supports would ban the use of cell phones throughout the school, not just classrooms.
Headteachers in England can currently decide their school's policy on phones, but the new ban will dictate their decision.
Again, many schools already prohibit students from bringing cell phones, but essentially everyone brings a cell phone with them, and they either keep it on silent mode or turn it off and put it in their bag. It's tucked away somewhere.
