In her viral videoTikTok user Amanda Sellers (@desellersdozen) shared her excitement about the new additions to her family.
All the children are eight years old or under and the family’s grocery bill is around £2,000 a month.
She explained that all of her fraternal twins arose “naturally.”
Sadly, the family lost one of the twins from their third set in utero.
Amanda said carrying her fourth set brought back difficult memories, but shared her relief at finding out both babies are healthy and strong.
The family receives a lot of support, with the children’s grandfather working remotely with their father.
Amanda explained that her father rents their basement to use as an office space, providing her family with an additional source of income.
She revealed that she has also parlayed her years of breastfeeding experience into becoming a certified lactation consultant.
The busy mom also homeschools all the children and encourages the younger ones to learn from their older siblings.
The family owns a 15-passenger van, which allows them to travel together instead of in separate cars.
And although they receive a lot of support from friends and family, not everyone accepts their lifestyle equally well.
TikTok users shared their thoughts on the big family in the comments section.
“[You’re] I’m going to have to buy a school bus soon,” one follower wrote.
“Do you have a television at home?” another viewer joked.
“How about ‘Enough’ and ‘Already,'” one person suggested when the couple asked for baby name suggestions.
Statistics on having twins
One in 60 British births is twins, triplets or more.
Although fraternal twins are more common than identical twins, a mother is much more likely to have twins if she has already had a set.
The chance of having three fraternal twins is 1 in 88,000.
A woman is more likely to have twins if she has previously undergone IVF treatment, is over 35 years old, or has a family history of twins.
On the other hand, many viewers showed their support for the family.
“What’s in the Cheaper By The Dozen? I love this!” one follower responded.
“This is amazing and beautiful! Congratulations on your beautiful family!” said another person.
‘You have a wonderful family, [you’ve] I am soooo blessed,” one TikTok user wrote.
“God bless you and your family. That is beautiful!!” another viewer commented.
