I'm a single mum of 7. AMA!

Scared 😅

Was this your choice
Do you older ones take responsibility for younger ones

How do you even have the time to be on here

Do they have the same dad?
How old are you?
Do you work?
How much bread do you go through a week?

Surely you are too busy to mumsnet?

God no
37
Yeah I work
Not much bread at all!

Why oh why 😩 OP?

I was thinking that as soon as I posted 🤣 not sure how much time I'll actually have to reply 😅

Why what?

How do you manage to give each child the time they need? How do you afford it? What out of school activities do they do and how do you get everyone to where they need to be?

What's the easiest/hardest part of this?

Is your house a constant mess?

7 kids at 37??

How old were you when you had your first?

Do they all have the same dad?

Did you always want a large family?

Yeah it's my choice now.
They do a little bit, but never if they are busy or really don't want to!

How much do you earn? How much do you get in CMS?

No, I hate mess!

How old are they all? Are any of the dads still involved? Does it cause resentment among the children if some see their dad more than others?

How do you find time for yourself?

Were they all planned
Are you going to have any more

I earn just over 14k I think (on mat leave now). CMS is around £1100 a month

So you’re supporting a family of 8 on £27k a year?

Are you intending to stay single so you can put your children first

Some planned, some not. I doubt I'll have any more as I'm on my own

Yep

I'd imagine she gets UC and CB too.

Obviously not 😅
