Siblings harm, scare, have set on fire, put in a children’s pool, sent a dog to attack his pants, otherwise abused, as it is said in the movie and in the credits, (I think,) etc. the oldest sister’s boyfriend, because they dislike him very much.
The sister later smacks the boyfriend hard with her bag (not in the face).
Siblings also smack, etc. each other, and there is at least one mention of “pounding” another sibling, but it isn’t said as harsh as it sounds.

One child is called Fed-Ex by siblings throughout the movie, as if someone from Fed-Ex dropped him off. He apparently is not adopted, he’s just the only one with that shade of red hair, and glasses. (The comment is shown as emotionally harmful, but there is some closure by the end.) Also, at least one other sibling has red hair, so that may be confusing here.
A parent is forty-five minutes late to pick up some of his children, and they are often seemingly left without actual adult supervision, though there are older siblings. The dad often forgets one child’s name and gets it wrong, and is not very good at remembering the child’s approximate height.

Trigger warning for burial: Beans the frog dies, and we learn that his mom, named Pork, had died sometime before the movie. When the family moves, they have to leave where Pork is buried, but after Beans dies, he is taken back and buried near his mom.

Trigger warning for burial:
Beans the frog dies, and we learn that his mom, named Pork, had died sometime before the movie. When the family moves, they have to leave where Pork is buried, but after Beans dies, he is taken back and buried near his mom. In the beginning we see a picture of a living Pork.
Trigger warning for snakes, their food, rats/mice, and animals getting eaten while still alive: There is mention of a snake needing one live rat a week.

Probably no, but a child is fallen on by an adult, and a chandelier falls on someone after he has already fallen.

Not at all but a child dangling (willingly) from a rope is dropped head down. He is completely unscathed and it's played for laughs. Just be prepared for a person dropping abruptly from a rope

Falling trigger warning:
A child lives, but someone falls on him and he has at least one broken bone.
Someone else falls and it is unclear if he actually broke a bone or not.

Although we may not see that the man’s genitals have or haven’t experienced physical trauma, the scene where the boyfriend has been tricked into wearing meat soaked underwear that causes a dog to bite his groin is quite upsetting. It would be hard to believe he hasn’t been traumatized physically and emotionally. He screams really loud repeatedly and is trying to ask for help and escape and only at the last second does anyone intervene.

No, but there is falling, falling on someone, etc., but everyone lives. Some pain, bodily harm, but no death. Someone also has a chandelier fall directly on them after he has already fallen.
The chandelier falls suddenly at the end of the movie, but does not fall on anyone.

mentioning just in case it's enough to affect someone: a character mentions at the beginning (in the beginning narration) that her sister passed away when she was a child, it is unknown if her sister was the same age and this sister is never seen

A chandelier suddenly falls at the end of the movie, at a peaceful-looking scene, and then not too peaceful music plays.

no but a woman remarks about the mom’s body that she “did not have 12 kids,” to imply that she’s too thin to have had that many children. a man later repeats the comment when she’s interviewed on TV and she jokes “guess the camera can’t see my hips.” then a woman asks if she had them conventionally and the whole audience laughs.

The parents are physical, but we don’t see them actually naked for that. Lots of kissing, showing (clothed) rears, the dad is in a hospital gown getting a surgery to stop having children. They do kiss, almost have relations but are stopped, etc. The oldest sibling (who is an adult) at least shares a room with her boyfriend, they had already moved in together before the movie started, the parents don’t want them to stay in the same room when visiting (or at all), but I think that they do. The sister and her boyfriend also make out on the couch, but are eventually stopped by her mom.
The boyfriend also ends up seemingly only wearing a robe, (no underwear,) because of the children getting his clothes wet.
The boyfriend has a commercial that can be considered, sorry for the language, “sexy”.
There is also an athletic cup shown, taken from a dishwasher, and then it accidentally falls into some food that is cooking.
One older male teenager is shown without a shirt.
Underwear (for an adult male) is shown, and at least one teenager (female) doesn’t wear super modest clothing.
A joke in the credits: The actress who played the mom and actor who played the oldest son embrace in the credits, acting as if they are kissing, the actor who played the son mentioning (rolling in duct tape on the floor to clean up a broken, probably fake and safe, chandelier) together. Both actors are most likely eighteen or over.
