A STRESSED out mum-of-10 has revealed how she fills FOUR trolleys with the weekly food shop and spends $5,000 on one child’s birthday presents.
At one point, Taina Licciardo-Toivola was mum to three kids under two and slept with three cots in her bedroom.
Amazingly, Finnish-Austrlian mum home schools all of her kids, meaning she’s been teaching for 20 years.
She’s mum to Romeo, Jerusalem, Cleopatra, Shakespeare, Omega, D’Artagnan, Nefertiti, KingJames and Aphrodite.
In her first ever YouTube video, where Taina chronicles the birth of her 10th child, she shows the kids running around behind her and screaming, patiently waiting for a gap in the noise to say: “Mummy’s going to talk now”.
In another clip, she shows off her daughter’s fourth birthday and reveals how she’s bought her $5,000 (£2,650) worth of gifts.
Taina revealed how she’d spent five months buying the extravagant haul, in a clip which racked up 5,000 likes but 400 thumbs down.
Gushing about it on Instagram, she says: “We couldn’t decide what gifts to buy Aphrodite for her 4th birthday party so we just bought them all!
“She didn’t know what to do when she saw them. Hope you enjoyed the YouTube video. It was a bit long but so fun to watch!
“There are two kitchens ( one country style & one modern style ), and one shop. All three with ALL THE ACCESSORIES!”
In another video, she shows off her huge weekly food haul, which includes four heaving trolleys, with a focus on vegan, fresh, unprocessed food.
Sharing her tips with viewers, she said: “We don’t usually try new products out, we just leave things because otherwise you’re just going to start buying it and that’s not a good thing.
“One thing we’re going to get is some frozen vegetables just in case, like the beans, if you’re in a big rush.
“We’re going to buy two bags of frozen vegetables and they might be there for a few months.
“I don’t buy berries or mushrooms. We pick our own mushrooms all over Finland.
“I hope you enjoyed our shopping trip. Our children are not fussy, they eat whatever we give them.
“I hear parents say their really kids are fussy but if you just say ‘this is what you’re eating’, they will learn to eat that way. Give it a few weeks, they’re not going to die.
“Give them what you want them to eat, they will learn not to be fussy.”
In another clip, Taina’s asked to name her “fave thing about being a mom of 10”.
She says: “I can’t think of one thing. My favourite thing is my whole dream of what I wanted is complete.
“I have more than I had ever imagined, so every day is a bonus.”
