- The Real Reason TLC Canceled Sweet Home Sextuplets
Some of the popular shows that follow similar family-centered structure are ‘Seeking Sister Wife‘, ‘Sister Wives‘, ’19 Kids and Counting’, and the critically acclaimed ‘I Am Jazz‘. The show has also been lauded for giving viewers a close look at the family while managing to remain sensitive to all members and not turning exploitative for the sake of higher viewership. ‘Sweet Home Sextuplets’ is TLC’s fascinating reality tv drama that follows the Waldrops and their nine kids — among whom, we have a set of sextuplets. The show narrates the challenges faced by the fam after experiencing such a life-altering change — going from a family of five to a clan of eleven. As a result, its first season instantly resonated with viewers, causing the network to bring the show back for a second and then a third season.
It's not only a special way to wind down the summer, but the last few months of the sextuplets' second year. "In less than four months, the sextuplets will be three years old," Courtney realizes. Courtney is putting her trust in God that everything works out, however.

Birth is, however, barely the tip of the iceberg, as all parents across the world would agree. The primary cast of ‘Sweet Home Sextuplets’ comprises the members of the Waldrop clan. We have the husband-wife duo, Eric and Courtney Waldrop, and their nine children — Blu, Layke, Tag, Rawlings, Rayne, Rivers, Saylor, Wales, and Bridge. Their three older boys and sextuplet babies reside on a sheep farm in small-town Alabama. Parents Courtney and Eric received the surprise of a lifetime when they welcomed six infants when trying for their fourth kid. What happened was in fall 2020, TLC asked Eric and Courtney if they were up for a Season 4.
Else she’ll be reminded of it each time she brings Saylor for his visit and that wasn’t the only she had to worry about. Courtney and her husband Eric have noticed that in terms of their younger children it was their daughters who were more advanced than their sons in their speech. Courtney would like for a speech pathologist to come in to make sure the boys where they needed to be. She was happy to be back in her home with her family and the kids’ new bathroom was great when she was washing up the sextuplets. Blu was perhaps the most difficult child during this time.

“But since then, we have not been filming, we have not had any film crews in our house. And we have decided that what’s best for our family right now is to not continue with the show." Eric was shocked to hear the number but he knew that it was important for all the boys to feel like it was their special day too. As a result, he let them invite everyone that they had wanted at the party.
Eric added, "We know it's for the best for our family, and we're very happy right now." As is typical for premature babies, the sextuplets stayed in the hospital's neonatal intensive care unit for weeks until they were strong enough to come home. Rivers and Rawlings were the first to leave the hospital, after 53 days, via Courtney's Facebook page, and the boys were the last to leave at 72 days. But that was only the beginning of the family's ongoing adventure.

While we wait the release of ‘Sweet Home Sextuplets’ Season 3, check out the clip below. If you have not seen the series and love reality television, then head over to TLC to catch all the episodes of the first season. Once all the babies were safely home, "Sweet Home Sextuplets" focused on Eric and Courtney Waldrop's everyday challenges as a sudden family of eleven. In addition to their active sons Saylor, Bridge and Wales, they now had six healthy babies who kept them busy with diaper changes, feedings, and demands for attention. The show chronicled everyday challenges like birthday parties, potty training, getting through flu season, and living in a small mobile home while their larger house was being built. The Waldrops also own a small farm with cattle, sheep and chickens, making their schedule nonstop.
And the parents came to the decision that they would be sending their kids back to school. TLC is no stranger to reality television shows that chronicle particular families which the network believes will be of interest to the viewers. This might be because of their lifestyle choices or their sexuality, or as in this case, families who have to raise too many children.
What are the Waldrops up to today?
School is starting for the boys, and fears of COVID-19 lead Courtney and Eric to consider homeschooling. They also decide to send the sextuplets to a speech pathologist. Courtney and the babies are running late to Kayleigh's wedding because of a dead car battery. The Waldrop family moves 11 people into a 1,500 square foot mobile home during construction -- right before having to cook a Thanksgiving feast for 20 people.
They initially agreed — although they admitted that filming was a "full-time job" and it would be a challenge to balance it with the demands of parenting nine children. “There are only so many hours in a day, and it was honestly just too difficult,” Eric explained. However, one thing that she was concerned about was what the older boys — Saylor, Wales and Bridge — would think of this plan. Last year, the boys had to celebrate their birthdays with the sextuplets and she was not sure if they would be ready to do that again.
She brought in her sextuplets two by two into the speech pathologist office. Courtney knows that school and daycare would have helped. Those things have been canceled since the outbreak of the coronavirus and so she and Eric also discussed how they would feel when school reopens.
As Courtney and Eric explained in the video, the decision to even begin filming for the series was a difficult one for them. The network approached the couple within a week of announcing the sextuplet pregnancy. “We have filmed for three seasons and we ended last summer.
With all of them inviting their friends and some of the parents coming in, there were close to 100 people at the celebration. Her friends did think it was a great idea to hire a speech pathologist. One of Courtney’s closest friends grew up with a speech impediment and she said how horrible was growing up that only her mother understood her. They made fun of her and so she would hide behind her mother’s leg not wanting to speak in front of anyone. This friend was therefore a big supporter of a speech pathologist. If the children can receive help now before it gets worse, that would be amazing and so Courtney made an appointment.
Opening the front door for their kids, any confusion at the surprise turns to joy as they spy the miniature horses, pigs and rabbits waiting for them in the yard. In a video they posted to theirYouTube channel in July 2021, Eric and Courtney Waldrop answeredtheir fans' questions. The couple explained that TLC first approached them about doing the series when Courtney was still pregnant with the sextuplets, and they weren't sure how it would pan out. "We made the decision that, 'Okay, we'll do it, we'll give it a shot, and if it ever becomes something that's hard on our family, that's hard on our kids, then we'll stop,'" Courtney explained. After years of renovations, the Waldrops finally move into their new home.
