Mum of Eight Kids Shares How She Manages Her Big Family
day for their family sees the mum get up, ensure the kids are getting ready before starting them on some work and sitting down to do her own work. Chloe and Rohan home school all six of their children and also run an online toy business from home. “The kids do a bit of school work, and then mostly focus on doing the things they enjoy like drawing, art projects, science projects, playing and spending lots of time outside,” she says. It can be a lot with a career, home schooling and homework, but we manage it well together and doing all of this means we can maximize family time, which is really important to us.”
The day goes on like this, at around 4:30pm, Chloe starts preparing dinner while the children help each other tidy the play areas – such as the LEGO room, playroom and drawing table. She said “The babies have a nap in their rockers, while the others do some tidying up. At the same time, I’ll cook the dinner for the kids. I cooked pasta for dinner using San Remo pasta, eggplant, zucchini, baby spinach, diced tomato, onion, pasta sauce and ᴛᴇxᴛᴜʀᴇᴅ ᴠᴇɢᴇᴛᴀʙʟᴇ ᴘʀᴏᴛᴇɪɴ as ᴀ ᴍᴇᴀᴛ ʀᴇᴘʟᴀᴄᴇᴍᴇɴᴛ. Because, I favours quick and easy meal solutions that are simple to make, but also nutritious for my big family. At 6pm, the kids sit down for their dinner.
