‘I had 10 kids in 10 years, so I make waffles for dinner because it’s easy’

A US mum has shared her hack to feeding her 10 kids without complaints, each and every day.

Cassandra knows exactly what it means to be a tired, overwhelmed mum, but with 10 kids, she knows she has to step up to the plate when it comes to feeding their army-like appetites. 

That often means they might not get the healthiest or most nutritious option when it comes to meal time…especially when dessert treats replacing dinner are involved.

"When you have 10 kids in 10 years, you make waffles for dinner, because everybody loves waffles and it’s easy, " she reveals in her viral video.

"I got 36 of these big waffles or 144 small waffles for dinner tonight"

The self confessed ‘tired mum’ makes quite literally, quadruples the amount of food for her large brood and will try and make what is easy, rather than what is healthy and good for them, in an attempt to keep them full and content and most of all, to avoid chaos.

"I got 36 of these big waffles or 144 small waffles," she said.

"And hopefully we will have some extras to freeze and so we can have a fast breakfast."

When asked in the comments if she did in fact have left overs, she replied that she had 2 huge freezer bags ready for when her hungry lot woke up the next morning.

"I have seven kids and some days feeding them is impossible"

Followers poured into the comment section with an overload of support and admiration for the mum-of-ten, some coming from big families themselves.

“Props to you for actually making them, most people would get store bought ones,” wrote one follower.

“Wow, and I find it hard to feed four on the best of days, good on you mumma!” another commented.

“As someone who has seven kids, I feel this in my soul,”replied a fellow mum of a large group.

“Wow, 10 kids, I don’t know how you do it, good on you,” said another.
