The Reback family is a special one.
Lyette and David Reback of Palm Beach Florida, are parents to 16 children, four of whom are adopted.
The two met when Lyette, now 45, met her husband David when she was just 19 years old. Just 10 days later, the couple got engaged, married the following year and had their first daughter when Lyette was 21.
According to the family’s blog, Lyette was a single child who had never babysat or even changed a diaper before she had her first child.
“I could have never imagined or envisioned that we’d have so many children,” she said in an interview with HooplaHa.
So many children demand $650 in wholesale groceries per week including 40 pounds of chicken, 50 pounds of potatoes, 100 eggs, 12 gallons of milk, and more. And there are 42 loads of laundry every week and 88 different sports practices.
According to a special on the Rebacks by Fox News, Lyette has spent roughly 10 years of her life pregnant, has gained and shed 600 Lbs in baby weight and is yet to have a single C-section.
“If I had known then that by the time I was 40 I would have 16 kids I would have thought it was crazy,” she says. “If the number of children we have comes up in conversation or people see us out and they don’t know our family, they are like, ‘holy mackerel.'”
