I wanted 20 kids but my hubby said 3 – we compromised with 12 as it's easier the more you have & we have 4 sets of twins
A WOMAN has revealed how she wanted a staggering 20 kids, while her husband wanted three - and now they are currently on 12. Despite her bumper brood, Amanda Sellers insists that the more kids you have the 'easier it gets', even though she has a whopping FOUR sets of twins. 2 In a video on her @thesellersdozen account, she showed off her large family, and said that all her sets of fraternal twins have occurred "naturally." The woman, who homeschools all her children, said she has never undergone fertility treatment. All the children are under the age of 10 and the family's grocery bill is around £2,000 per month. Unfortunately, the family did lose one of the twins from their third set in utero. Amanda said that carrying her fourth set brought back some tough memories but shared her relief at finding out both babies are healthy and strong. HUGE COSTS Of course, supporting such a large family doesn't come cheap. Thankfully, the family has a lot of support, with the children's grandfather working remotely alongside their dad. Amanda explained that her dad rents their basement to use as office space, providing her family with an additional source of income. She revealed that she has also put her years of experience with breast-feeding towards a certification in lactation consultancy. The busy mum also homeschools all the kids, encouraging the younger ones to learn from their older siblings. Millie Radford sparks concern of the family feud reigniting as she says she wants to go 'home' during Florida holiday The family owns a 15-passenger transit van, allowing them to travel together rather than in separate cars. And while they receive a lot of support from friends and family, not everyone is as accepting of their lifestyle. MIXED REACTION TikTok users shared their thoughts on the large family in the comments section. "[You're] going to have to buy a school bus soon," wrote one follower. 2 "Do you have a TV at home?" joked another viewer. "How about 'Enough' and 'Already,'" suggested one person when the couple asked for baby name suggestions. On the other hand, lots of viewers showed their support for the family. "What in the Cheaper By The Dozen? Love this!" commented one follower. "This is amazing and beautiful! Congratulations on your beautiful family!" said another person. The world's biggest families The Vassilyev family This family currently holds the record for the most children a couple has parented, after the matriarch gave birth to 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and seven sets of triplets. Mrs. Vassilyev has given birth to a total of 69 children, including 16 pairs of twins and 7 sets of triplets. 67 of the 69 children survived infancy. The Radfords Sue and Noel are parents to 22 children, and their hectic family life is documented in reality show 22 Kids and Counting. The pair have remained adamant that they won't be having any more kids, but the amount of grandchildren they have is ever expanding, with daughters Sophie and Millie both mums of three. The Duggars Michelle and Jim Bob Duggar have 19 children - 10 sons and nine daughters. All of their children's names begin with the letter J. They also had their own reality show in the United States, and became household names because of it. The Bates family Kelly also has 19 children, with her husband Gil Bates. Of 19 deliveries, 14 of them were natural. The couple also have 28 grandchildren, with four more on the way. The Dougherty Dozen Mum Alicia frequently shares videos and pictures of her family. She and husband Josh have four biological children together, as well as adopting or fostering the rest of their brood. The Rosario family Yalancia and husband Michael are parents of 11. They had their first daughter together earlier this year, and are also parents to Jamel, 15, Michael Jr, 11, Angelo, 10, Gimani, seven, Armani, six, Sincere, three and Khaza, two.
