I’m a mum of 9 & I get up every morning to cook my family a two course breakfast – people think it’s crazy but I love it

GETTING to grips with parenting can take a lot of practice, but after having nine one mum has managed to get a routine together.

Whether it’s getting the kids ready, or cooking breakfast – this mum has become an internet sensation after revealing her organisation skills. 

The American mum, who goes by the name of Raising Cades on TikTok, manages to cook for her entire 11 member family, which includes herself and her husband.

Everyday she will cook a full blown breakfast, as well as a full on dinner in the evenings as well. 

First off, she starts the day by doing the laundry at 6am, before heading to the kitchen to begin breakfast making. 

The mum, who has three girls and six boys, can cook up scrambled eggs, pancakes, as well as sausages, fried eggs and strawberries and cream cheese stuffed croissant toast.

She will regularly share her cooking videos to her 386K TikTok followers, and hundreds of thousands of people will regularly respond to her videos. 

In order to cook such large portions the mum has a large griddle which allows her to divide 11 portions up.

Many of her followers often rush to the comments section to share their thoughts, with some calling her “wild” for managing to cook that amount every morning. 

Someone else said: “Always needing a taste of something would drive me crazy lol.”

Others simply commented on the grill she was using, and complemented on how well it works for the family.

One wrote: “Honey you have definitely gotten your money’s worth with the grill! It’s the star of the show in almost every meal! I WANT ONE!!!” 

And others complimented her cooking style as well. 

“This angel needs her own cooking show,” says one.

Another added: “It looks so good.” 

A third said: “You’re an amazing mama.” 

In another video, she revealed how people often ask her how she manages to keep on top of the laundry for everyone in her household. 

The mum, who has four large sized washing machines, replied: “Guess what? I don’t. I do not do laundry for 11 people.

“All of my children above the age of seven, do their own laundry. 

“Because the reality of it is, these children can operate devices and TV and all the other stuff that they operate, they can operate a washer and a dryer honey. 

“So with this many people in the family, we don’t want to just have a free for all with the laundry rooms, that would just be chaos, ain’t nobody got time for that. 

“So I designate days for my children to do their laundry. 

“Each person has their own designated day to do all of their clothes, and all of their bedding. 

“So that way, when it’s time for them to look for something, they can’t ask me where their socks or where their drawers are because I don’t know.

“I believe in teaching to be self-sufficient, and teaching children to be accountable for their own things and their own belongings.

“I believe that routines are important for families, especially large families and routines are something that we thrive on in our household. 

“So the only laundry that I am personally responsible for are all of my little kids.

“We have a seven year old, a five year old, and a three week year old. I do their laundry and I do my husband’s laundry because that’s my boo thang, and he works a lot of hours and honestly he takes care of me, so I’m going to take care of him.” 

Many people were big fans of her parenting tips and rushed to the comments section to share their thoughts.

One wrote: “I never thought to give certain days to the kids for them to do their laundry. We are a family of six. Thanks for that tip.”

Another added: “Your strengths, routines and structure is amazing. Glad you can create a legacy like this.”

A third said: “Grew up in a family of eight and my mum did the same !!! Helped keep me as an adult to a routine.”
