“I usually go to the grocery once a week and spend around R5400” she said, adding that her biggest challenge is managing all the extra laundry and housework.
“As they get older it gets easier as they help out a lot,” she said.
To ensure their children fit in their house, they fitted their bedrooms with triple-decker beds.

“I do not like being pregnant. I get severely sick and puke nonstop,” she said.
She further divulged that people compliment them whenever they go out.
“I would not trade it for the world,” she said.
