A mum with nine children who refuses to ever use contraception says she has to do laundry four times a day and spends £1,760 on food every month - but still may have more kids. Ashley Couzens was overjoyed when she fell pregnant aged 16 with her daughter Alexis Couzens and she took to motherhood like a duck to water - so much so that she gave birth to seven more children over the next 11 years.
But just when the 36-year-old 'felt complete' she found out she was expecting her ninth child Jrue Couzens who's now eight-months-old and admits she'd even consider having one or two more. The cleaning business owner said that each time she's quizzed on how she mentally and emotionally supports so many little ones her response is that motherhood is second nature to her - just 'like riding a bike'.
But the gran-of-one who has amassed more than seven million likes on TikTok said she's been branded 'irresponsible' - to which she disagrees as it 'takes people to make the world go around' and her children will 'add value' to it. The devoted mum said that running her hectic household demands embracing plenty of 'noise and chaos', putting on four loads of laundry each day and spending around £1,670 a month on food.
