Jeni and Ray Bonell, once opposed to having kids, are now the proud parents of 16 children. Managing their large family in Toowoomba, Queensland, is a busy but joyful challenge. They spend $600 weekly on groceries, use 50 liters of milk, and go through dozens of eggs and loaves of bread.
Life with 16 kids includes managing school, activities, part-time jobs, and household chores. Jeni shares budget-friendly meal ideas on YouTube to help large families, and all the kids pitch in with chores, some even cooking full meals.
Despite the chaos, the Bonells prioritize their relationship and keep their home organized with a rotating chore chart. Their story is a testament to the power of love, creativity, and teamwork in a big family.
