I’m a mum-of-12 & quit my £4.2k-a-month side hustle to work in a supermarket – people think I’m mad, I have my reasons
A MUM of 12 has explained her reasons for quitting her side hustle and going to work in a supermarket.
Britni Church said: “Explaining why I went from making $3-5k a month as a content creator to working part time at Walmart.”
The full-time mum and her husband Chris spend the equivalent of £230 a week on groceries, and go through five boxes of cereal, 66 cartons of milk and 600 nappies.
In a previous video the mum of 12 explained her reasons for going back to work after 4 years of not having a job.
She said: “I decided to go back to work after four years for a few different reasons. I had stopped doing a lot on social media and my income went down significantly.”
Britni was earning up to £4,200 whilst working as a content creator full time.
But she decided to take a step back from social media.
Her husband Chris owns a thriving business which slows down during the winter months.
Britni said: “My husband owns his own business and it always slows down in the winter time.”
Britni acknowledges that the rising cost of living played a huge role in her decision to go back to work.
She said: “The main reason is because of the prices of food and stuff like everything has gone up in general.”
Britni said: “We kind of got used to my income being there and now it’s just my husband working.”
She said: “My husband can make in one day what I make in three weeks but it’s nice because I have taxes taken out and it does help.”
Britni also decided to start studying.
But she admits she needs to better organise her time with her part job at Walmart and school so she can keep on top of her studies.
She said: “I have to get better at time management because I’m off the next couple of days and I’m going to have to do school work because I’m getting a little behind. But I’m glad this semester is almost over.”
Britni’s video gained over 80,000 views.
Followers were very supportive of the mum of 12’s decision.
One commenter said: “There’s something to be said for consistent, reliable income.”
Another commenter said: “I feel like just getting out of the house, even if it’s to go to work is a huge break for you!”
The mum of 12 has previously defended her large brood and said they are “just like everyone else” after being criticised for her super-sized family.
