Mom Welcome Nine Children In Nine Years And Already Planning Number 10
Nine children in nine years would be more than enough for most women – but supermum Rayna Warriner is already planning for number 10. Less than a month after giving birth to her latest addition, Ms Warriner is already brooding for a tenth baby.
But while caring for her brood is an 18-hour-a-day job, the urge to have one more baby has already kicked in.
The children in turn Eryn, 16, Jackson, 14, Harrison, 13, Callan, 11, Taitum, 10, triplets Meredith, Romany, and Ilish, 8 and Avie, 6.
“I’m addicted to the adrenaline rush of having a beautiful baby and it’s a miracle that lasts a lifetime,” said the former nursery manager, 32.
“We have one more place to fill in our 12-seater minibus. If my husband said that’s all, we would stop, but we both love having children so much.”
The couple support their six girls and three boys on the wages Mr Warriner earns as a police sergeant, without the help of benefits.
Their eldest child, Eryn, is nine years old. A year after her birth, the couple had Jackson, now eight, followed two years later by Harrison, aged six.
But despite the potential problems, and the considerable squeeze on her finances, she says she remains addicted to motherhood.
Mrs Warriner spends her exhausting 17-hour day ferrying her children to various schools and nurseries, doing four loads of washing, shopping, cooking, cleaning and reading countless bedtime stories.
The couple are currently expanding their six-bedroom detached home in Bournemouth, Dorset, to cope with their baby boom. Their routine starts at 7am and ends after midnight.
The older children are taken off to school and nursery, then Rayna returns to look after the pets, as well as getting to grips with housework and doing four loads of washing before it’s time to go back to school.
They spend £170 a week on their food bill. And as a result of the rising bill, they haven’t been on holiday for three years.
They struggle to organise even a weekend away as hotels and holiday homes cannot accommodate so many children.
“Normally I’m up until after midnight making up lunch boxes for the next day,” she said. “People think we are mad but the children are our life and bring us so much pleasure.
