Costie Anne Randall, 35, is from Australia's Northern Territory. She has nine sons with her predecessor, and today, Costie is pregnant with her current husband's first child, her 10th child. Recently, Costie was interviewed by the media.
Costie said: "I initially decided to have only two, but then I couldn't stop. She started getting pregnant at 18, with the first born being Tristan, 16, followed by 14-year-old Dimon, 12-year-old Blair, 10-year-old Chase, 9-year-old Logan, 8-year-old Zander, 6-year-old Elijah, 4-year-old Phoenix and 1-year-old Jamie.
At the Kirsty home, all the boys go to bed at 8:30 p.m. She prepared three bunk beds for her younger children, with the eldest son having his own room and the younger son sleeping in a cot.
At the beginning of the day, Kirsty prepares breakfast and lunch first. Older boys were asked to pack their own lunch boxes. "I always check what they pack, but it's important to let them know about responsibility," she said. After dropping the kids off at school, she started making the bed, cleaning the kitchen, and quickly ate a breakfast before continuing to tidy up the rest of the house.
About an hour before bed is a family break, and everyone is free to do what they love, such as watching TV, reading a book, or playing with an iPad. While caring for her children, Costie also works three days a week and is currently volunteering.
Having a large family comes with high costs, including weekly bills, Christmas gifts, and birthday gifts. Costing an average of $500 a week at the supermarket, Kirsty buys discounted ingredients such as meat and staples in large quantities.
