Things aren’t exactly cheaper by the dozen.
A mom-of-12 says she spends a whopping $400 per week on groceries to feed her family — but doesn’t regret having an unlimited (and enormously expensive) brood.
Britni Church, 35, gave an insight into the prices of raising 12 children in a latest interview with Southwest News Service, revealing that she works as a cake decorator to make ends meet.
“I feel very blessed to be a mom,” the Wichita, Kansas resident declared. “I’m comfortable with my life – not everyone seems to be going to love that. I don’t regret anything.”
Church first fell pregnant on the age of 15, welcoming her first daughter, Crizman, in 2004.
She went on to have Jordan, 17, Caleb, 16, Jace, 15, and Cadence, 13, along with her now ex-husband.
After the split, Church had one other daughter Jesalyn, now 11, with a distinct partner.
The one mom-of-six thought she was done having children until she met her now-hubby Chris, 32, while working at a factory.
The couple have six children together: Silas, 8, Christopher, 7 , triplets Oliver, Asher and Abel, 4, and Rowyn, 2.
Church says to maintain her household running easily she does 21 a great deal of washing per week and goes through about 80 diapers.
Along with her big food bill, she also forks out ample money for her kid’s birthday and Christmas presents.
She says she will spend as much as $100 for every of her children’s birthday gifts, totaling $1200 annually.
The mama also spares no expense ensuring her family has festive Christmases, spending $4000 each December on presents, food and decorations.
“We attempt to do something special,” Church explained.
The mom documents her hectic life on social media, where she has been subject to cruel commentary from trolls.
“People say ‘Why don’t you could have abortions?’ or ‘Close your legs’… It’s very gross stuff,” she admitted.
But Church is content along with her life because it is — and has no plans for baby number 13.
“After Rowyn we were done,” she explained. “I used to be like ‘I’m drained’. I felt at peace.”
