00:00I'm 23, and I have six children under seven.
00:03It's crazy.
00:05We actually didn't want any more kids.
00:07They kind of just started rolling in back-to-back.
00:10Papa, y'all, please calm down.
00:12You're about to eat in a second.
00:13I'll be right back, okay, y'all?
00:15It's honestly just so disgusting how negative people can get,
00:19bashing me as a mom, telling me they're going to hate me
00:22when I get older, that I completely ruined my life.
00:25Let me not cry.
00:26It's okay.
00:31Don't be nervous.
00:34I'm about to eat in a second.
00:36He is so freaking cute.
00:38My name is Nigel, and I am a mother to six.
00:41Here, squirt this with the hot water.
00:44My husband's name is Tomas,
00:46and we've been together for three years.
00:48Hold on, Papa.
00:49Come on, let's sit down and eat.
00:51You're about to eat in a second.
00:54I think he's having an allergic reaction.
00:57Is it?
00:58Yeah, I think so.
01:01Okay, are you going to take him?
01:03Yeah, I'll take him.
01:04He has to take him to the hospital real fast.
01:06Kyrie got into the egg somehow,
01:08so Tomas just took him to the hospital just to be safe.
01:12Everything's okay, though.
01:13They'll be back really soon.
01:14Okay, so how many pieces of French toast do you want?
01:16Do you want French toast or do you just want bacon?
01:18Bacon.
01:19I like bacon.
01:20Eight.
01:21Eight?
01:22Eight pieces of French toast.
01:23How much do you guys spend on groceries?
01:27Probably about $250 to $300 a week.
01:30But yeah, that's honestly how much we spend, for real.
01:33How many brothers and sisters do you have?
01:35One, two, three, four.
01:38Four?
01:39Nice.
01:41Okay, so this is Peyton.
01:43He's seven.
01:44This is Allie.
01:45She's five.
01:46This is Auburn.
01:48She's three.
01:50And then here are the twins.
01:51This is Silas.
01:52She is five months.
01:54And Cecilia, and she's also five months old.
01:57Peyton is a giant goofball.
02:00He takes everything as a joke, but not in a bad way.
02:03Allie, on the other hand, she is definitely sassy,
02:06just like her mama, no doubt about it.
02:09Aubie, her attitude is 100% for sure.
02:14Kyrie, he's just a daddy's boy.
02:16My twin girls, they're just busy being cute and cuddly.
02:22He said cut.
02:26Cut!
02:28All right, that's good.
02:29You're going to be a director, aren't you?
02:31I gave birth when I was 15 years old to my first child, Peyton.
02:35Speaking honestly, I was really embarrassed
02:38because I wasn't sure how I'd gotten pregnant,
02:41and I was only 15.
02:43I was literally still playing with the dolls.
02:45Whenever my mom found out I was pregnant,
02:47she was not supportive at first.
02:49She was very upset with me.
02:51But over time, she became my biggest support system ever,
02:55along with my sisters.
02:57I was 16 when I got pregnant again with my second child, Allie.
03:03And what was your life like back then with the two kids?
03:07Life was really different
03:08because I felt like I wasn't really being a mom.
03:12Did you have a good breakfast?
03:16Albie, if you don't eat that, come back to this table.
03:18I'll stay here with you.
03:20I met Tomas about three years ago at a grocery store
03:22we were both working at.
03:24He was amazing with my two kids at the time.
03:26The first time they met him,
03:27it was just nothing but just good vibes and happiness.
03:31And he just immediately took them in as his own.
03:34I found out I was pregnant with our first child
03:36about two months after we started dating.
03:38Honestly, I thought I was going to be upset,
03:40but we were both really happy.
03:43Me and Tomas, we have four kids together.
03:46We actually didn't want any more kids.
03:48They kind of just started rolling in back to back,
03:51just being honest.
03:53So, since the babies are sleeping,
03:54do y'all want to go outside for a little bit?
03:56Yeah.
03:57All right, go grab some toys, and you already got your shoes on.
04:00So go get your toys.
04:01Okay.
04:03So, I do homeschool all of the kids,
04:06even my youngest one, because it's actually pretty easy.
04:09I really enjoy homeschooling.
04:11And I'm sure they do, too.
04:13How big of a job is to get everybody organized
04:16to go outside and play?
04:18Stop, baby.
04:20Well, how big of a job?
04:22They're so excited to get out the door.
04:24It's like they don't pay attention to what they're doing,
04:26so they'll put the shoes on the wrong feet,
04:28put the pants inside out.
04:30It's crazy.
04:33Come on, let's go take a nap.
04:35Okay.
04:38Daddy's boy.
04:40Very much.
04:45So, I'm currently brushing my hair,
04:46because me and Tamasa is going to have some alone time later.
04:49It's been a while since we've been out by ourselves.
04:52So, I started doing TikTok about three years ago,
04:54but over the last year,
04:56that's when I really started taking it serious.
04:59I got six kids.
05:00I don't have time to be sitting on my ass this morning.
05:02Let's get to making breakfast.
05:03Breakfast with power plants.
05:04Meaning each child told me what they wanted me to make.
05:07And I really like to share my experience with all six kids
05:11as a 23-year-old stay-at-home mom.
05:13Dear family, I'm going.
05:15No, y'all, I would never leave my baby.
05:16I'm just happy I didn't leave nothing cold out on the table.
05:18Because I would have been real.
05:19I like to make realistic content for other moms
05:22to let them know, like, you know,
05:23obviously nobody's perfect, and it's okay to have your flaws.
05:26What kinds of responses have you had
05:28to sharing your day-to-day life and backstory?
05:31I've gotten plenty of horrible responses
05:34from people that think I'm so miserable.
05:36They're bashing me as a mom,
05:37telling me they're going to hate me when I get older
05:39because they have so many siblings.
05:41It's honestly just so disgusting that,
05:43you know, how negative people can get.
05:46They don't think somebody could be genuinely happy
05:49with a life like this, only being 23 years old.
05:52I've never wanted to have a career or anything.
05:56What are y'all doing?
05:58That's an ugly one.
06:00Let's calm down.
06:01People often think that since I have six kids
06:05that I completely ruined my life.
06:07They think that everything that I wanted in life
06:10is on hold, which is 100% not true.
06:13They often think that, you know, since I have six kids,
06:16all of my kids are going to feel abandoned
06:19or alone in a way because I have so many,
06:22when in reality, each child all gets, you know,
06:25equal love and a happy home.
06:27They think being a mom to six kids is like a chore.
06:30You're so cute, both of y'all.
06:32It's really fun, in my opinion.
06:35How would you describe your family?
06:38Crazy.
06:40I gotta go change with sister.
06:42We all love each other.
06:43I love kissing them. Y'all are so freaking cute.
06:46Get home from work and they all run to the door.
06:49That's the best thing you could ask for.
06:51How would you say you and Nigel support each other as parents?
06:55When I come home, you know, I do what needs to be done.
06:58She does what needs to be done.
07:00And we just support each other in that way.
07:02We're a big family.
07:04The kids are happy. We're happy.
07:06We just love each other.
07:08Tell me what Nigel thinks makes a good parent.
07:12What I think?
07:14Oh, not me getting emotional.
07:16Just thinking about what I think.
07:20Okay.
07:22Let me not cry.
07:26So what I think makes you a good parent
07:28is just being present and being there.
07:30Because that's something your kids will always remember.
07:33Do you have any specific hopes for the future for your family?
07:36Just one day have our own house in the country.
07:40You know, have our farm animals.
07:42Would you like to have any more children?
07:46No.
07:48No more kids.
07:50No, no, no.
07:52No, thank you.
07:54I'm good.
07:58I'm good.
