A MUM-OF-SEVEN has revealed that people always ask her how she affords to have such a big family and now she has set the record straight.
Ariel Tyson, from Bozeman, Montana, US, always knew that she wanted a big family as she is one of four siblings.
She is now 35-years-old and a mum to six boys and one girl.
She lives with her children and pastor husband Michael in Tennessee where they are currently renovating their home.
Ariel, a former college professor, gave birth to five of her boys in six years and gave birth to her youngest and only daughter, in December 2021.
Not only does she home school her bumper brood, but she also works full-time too.

She said on TikTok: “When you’re both a stay at home homeschool mum of seven and work full time from home so you’re actually a full time working stay at home home school mum”.
She had all seven kids in 11 years, but now, people are left wondering how she affords to have such a big family.
Ariel posted a clip in response to a question that read: “Not trying to be mean or anything but how do you have the money to take care of all your kids?” to which she said “Both of us work, own businesses, follow Dave Ramsey’s FPU budget and plan. Care for them well, but not extravagantly”.
The mum revealed she does have help with a family assistant as well as her husband Michael.
