A MUM-OF-NINE shared an insight into everyday life in her large family.
She also clapped back at haters who criticise her for having so many children.
In her viral video, TikTok user Maxine (@thefamilyyoung) revealed some of the comments her family gets from strangers on a regular basis.
She and her husband Jake married in 2016 and within a year they had four children living under their roof.
“Yes, I do know what birth control is,” the TikToker told her audience.
In fact, the mum has only been pregnant twice, once with quadruplets.
She gave birth to her son Henry in October 2018 with Silas, Cecelia, Beck, and Theo arriving in July 2020.
However, before having their biological children, the couple welcome three children on emergency placement from foster care.
Aiden, who was four at the time, and his siblings Parker, then aged two, and Connor, who was 11 months, joined the family in July 2017.
A month later, Jake and Maxine received a call about their newborn sister Elliott and collected her directly from the hospital.
The four children were officially adopted into the family in December 2019.
With nine kids in their home, the couple have developed a steadfast grocery plan.
They revealed that they buy nappies in packs of 640 at a time, going through at least 20 each day.
The family also fork out for 40 litres of milk and 40 loaves of bread each week.
In between grocery shopping and minding their kids, they also carry out two full loads of laundry each day.
Despite the expensive lifestyle, the family have managed to visit 14 countries with their children.
Both Jake and Maxine described themselves as “the luckiest people in the world.”
