Australia’s Largest Family: The Bonells’ Life with 16 Kids
Jeni and Ray Bonell, from Queensland, never imagined having children, but now they proudly raise 16—nine boys and seven girls.
Managing their household requires organization and a $600 weekly grocery bill, including “17 bottles of milk and 14 boxes of cereal.”
Life is hectic, with school, activities, and jobs to juggle. “Dinner can host anywhere from 8 to 20 people,” Jeni shares.
Budgeting is key, and Jeni shares cost-saving meal tips on YouTube.
Her children help with chores early on, pitching in with “meal prep and laundry duties.”
