The Freers and the Lewises
16 Kids and Counting - Season 1

DESCRIPTION

How do dads cope with a supersized family? In Bournemouth, Pete has 12 daughters and dreams of quality time with his wife, while Gary Freer has quit work to help care for his large brood. Pete Lewis's only son Charles has recently moved out, leaving this dad of 12 daughters the only male in a very pink-themed house. Mechanic Pete finds that getting his wife Tracey to stop focusing on their expanding family isn't easy. When disaster strikes over Christmas, Dad is needed more than ever. In Ramsgate, Kent, Gary Freer has given up his job as a long distance lorry driver to help his wife Kirsty care for their supersized brood. Two of the couple's nine children need extra care: 15-year-old Jordan has ADHD and is home-schooled, while seven-year-old Paul is in and out of hospital with a medical condition affecting his oesophagus. When Paul's operation is delayed until after Christmas, their son's health threatens to overshadow the festivities.
