Mum of 13 buys 84 pints of milk ...every week
A MUM of 13 – who has spent seven years of her life pregnant – has shared her hectic daily drill.
Vicky Jamieson, 39, spends up to five hours a day cooking meals, washing, cleaning, and ironing.
The charity shop volunteer from Speke, Liverpool, presses up to 21 different pieces of uniform each morning and makes three different meals at dinner time for her brood of fussy eaters.
Vicky and partner Craig Williams, 37, make sure to stock up on the essentials, getting through 84 pints of milk and 10 loaves of bread per week.
Vicky is a proud mum to Tom, 22, Ellie, 21, Libby, 16, Lexie, 15, Mikey, 13, Craig, 13, Riley, eight, Annie, six, twins Matilda and Teddy, four, James, 13 weeks. She
also gave birth to Emma and Lottie, who passed away.
Vicky said: “It’s a full-time job catering to such a large family, but it’s always been my dream to be a mum.We have a five-bed house where seven of the kids live with us full time and Craig’s two come to stay at the weekends.
“Our days start pretty early, and the kitchen is one of the most hectic places to be.We only have two bathrooms as well, so trying to get all of the kids washed and dressed can be difficult.
“Craig and I are in the kitchen from around 3.30pm to 6pm for dinner each day as we usually have to cook three entirely different meals, as a few of the kids are pretty picky eaters.
“We cook everything from chicken nuggets and chips to pasta bakes, spaghetti bolognese and curries. Sundays are quite relaxing when it comes to meal times though, as everyone loves a Sunday dinner, so I try to make a roast at least twice a week.
“All of the kids are tasked with tidying their bedrooms and will sometimes help at meal times.”
