When Jeni met Ray, she was sure kids weren’t in her future. Ray wanted four. Fast forward 30 years, and they now have 16 children — nine boys and seven girls — and live in Toowoomba, Queensland.
Life in the Bonell household is anything but typical. With eight kids still at home, Jeni spends $600 a week on groceries, including 50 litres of milk, 45 tubs of yogurt, and four dozen eggs. Laundry? Three big loads daily. Dinner can seat anywhere from eight to over 20 people.
