About :

Nadine and Christian from Höpfingen have eight children together. Their everyday life with Mia, Uma, Neo, Liam, Fiete, Lino, Hanna and Marie is stressful but very fulfilling. Former Federal President Joachim Gauck has even taken on the godparenthood of the two youngest - the twins Fiete and Uma. They are now almost 8 years old. For Nadine and Christian, each of their children is a gift. 00:00 The family introduces itself In the studio for the interview are mother Nadine and father Christian as well as their two children Marie and Lino. 02:08 Getting to know the parents Nadine was 16 years old when she met Christian. She was an only child in the third generation and wanted a large family. She had to convince her husband of the family planning at the beginning. 03:49 How to organize a large family with 8 children How does everyday family life work with eight children between the ages of 7 and 21? Do all the siblings in the XXL family get along or do the sisters and brothers tend to play together? Of course, the division of household chores is also very important. Everyone has their own tasks, but there is no budget. 05:50 Pregnancy and burnout Pregnancy and having children are a strain on the female body. Nadine felt this particularly clearly during her last births. Most recently, she had multiple births with twins. 07:27 Time management in a large family Mother Nadine overcame her burnout thanks to therapeutic help. Today, the parents also consciously make time for each other. They have discovered dancing. They are young parents and need time together. 09:10 When the children move out The age difference between the siblings is 14 years between the twins and the eldest daughter. While one of them goes to primary school, the eldest sister has now left the nest and moved out. 09:51 How do you finance a large family? Father Christian works as an industrial mechanic and is the sole breadwinner. With rising inflation, the family has to watch its expenses - without neglecting or favoring one of the children. In addition to child benefit, annual passes for family outings, for example to the zoo or animal park, help. The XXL family receives these as gifts from friends and relatives. #extendedfamily #twins #familyeveryday Subscribe to the Landesschau channel: http://x.swr.de/s/landesschauabo Welcome to the official YouTube channel of the SWR Landesschau!
