Mother Of 10 Shares Just How Much Food It Takes To Feed Her Family For A Week—And It's A Lot

Feeding just oneself takes an endless supply of planning, money, and time—time to eat, money to buy the food and planning.

However, adding ten children into that equation—as TikToker @doughertydozen and her husband have—jacks up the level of planning, money, and time required for food in the household.

In a now-viral video, @doughertydozen panned across her grocery haul for her, her husband and their ten children.

The haul contained every single food group imaginable; from fresh watermelon and strawberries to bags upon bags of potato chips—from chicken to fresh peppers and ,bread to gallons of milk and almond milk.

And that's just buying the food.

Planning the meals is its own task.

In a follow-up video, @doughertydozen showed herself cooking an obscene amount of breakfast, packing lunch and the sheer volume of food she had to produce for dinner each night.

The family is a foster family—@doughertydozen and her husband have taken in children from the foster care system, which is how their household: grew so big.

Tastes no doubt vary in a house where everybody comes from a different background—so @doughertydozen also took us through how she shops for the house.

@doughertydozen's video is a reminder caring for children isn't for the faint of heart—especially ten growing foster children who go through over $1000 of groceries per week.

Trump Sparks Concern After Repeatedly Confusing Alaska With Russia Ahead Of Putin Meeting

President Donald Trump turned heads on Monday after he repeatedly claimed he's going to "Russia" on Friday—very openly confusing the country with the state of Alaska, the actual location where he plans to meet Russian President Vladimir Putin for a highly anticipated summit.

Trump made the mix-up during a press conference about crime in Washington, D.C., where he has already moved to federalize the police and deploy the National Guard, citing inflated crime statistics that compared D.C. to Baghdad and Brasilia.

JB Pritzker Explains Exactly Why Trump Is Pushing His GOP Allies To Redistrict—And He's Spot On

Speaking on NBC's Meet the Press, Illinois Governor JB Pritzker perfectly explained why President Donald Trump is pushing for gerrymandered redistricting in Republican-led states amid pushback from Democrats in Texas.

Redistricting has been all over the news cycle in the days since Texas Democrats fled the state to avoid voting on a new heavily-gerrymandered redistricting map and to deny their GOP colleagues a quorum, the minimum number of lawmakers required to conduct legislative business.

MSNBC Fact-Checks Trump In Real Time As He Blatantly Lies About Crime Rates In DC

President Donald Trump is facing criticism after he was fact-checked by MSNBC in real time as he lied about crime statistics while announcing his decision to federalize police in Washington, D.C., and deploy the National Guard in an effort to fight crime.

Trump's announcement is a significant escalation of his previous attacks on the nation's capital, which he has repeatedly referred to as "crime-infested." He claimed in his remarks to the press that D.C. is “one of the most dangerous cities anywhere in the world,” a claim at odds with Justice Department data showing that the city’s crime rate hit a 30-year low last year.
