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.

Stephen Colbert Makes Somber Plea To Americans In Wake Of Charlie Kirk's Death

Late-night host Stephen Colbert had a somber message for Americans as he addressed the assassination of far-right activist Charlie Kirk, stressing that "political violence only leads to more political violence."

Kirk died after an unidentified gunman shot him in the neck as he—ironically enough—mocked victims of gun violence at an event in Utah Valley State University. Kirk's murder has galvanized the far-right, with President Donald Trump and his surrogates claiming without evidence that rhetoric from Democrats is responsible for Kirk's death.

TikToker Hilariously Calls Out Target After Champion Pants Feature Awkwardly-Placed Front Pleat

Take, for instance, the new pleated pants available at Target from the Champion clothing line. While there's nothing wrong with pleated pants and they certainly have a suitable spot in the workplace, the latest rendition of Champion pleated pants are, shall we say, NSFW.

Woman Goes Viral After Revealing How Her Obsession With Matcha Landed Her In The Hospital

Let's be honest: Too much of anything isn't good for us. It's all about the balance!

But the media and social media trends have taught us that certain things are really good for us, encouraging us to be like the "very mindful and very demure" girls and take care of ourselves.
