In 1987, Gil and Kelly Jo Bates got married to each other but they did not plan to have any kids. However, over a course of time, things changed and currently, they are parents to 19 children. Nevertheless, things start getting difficult as their children range from toddler to 20-something and live under one roof. The Bates family faces new challenges and tries to overcome those together. The parents set up strict rules that include everyone’s chores, watching no to limited hours of TV, and the girls wearing only dresses. Apart from all this, Gil runs a tree service in which he has employed a few of his sons. On the other hand, Kelly Jo stays at home to make the meals, home-school their children, and do the laundry. Now, since elder children have got older, new issues like careers, romance, and babies will come into the picture.
