I'm 24 and I have five children
0:02
What is your day-to-day life like? Imagine if you know a tornado is coming every day in the world
0:09
I got pregnant with my first child at 14. People have said, why would you do that
0:16
She really ruined her life. That is really not a good look. It was a little upsetting because it was a story about how I found out
0:25
It was very surprising. There you go, sweetheart. She says she wants a milkshake for breakfast
0:34
Girl, I always start with me cooking breakfast because they demand breakfast
0:42
Hey, girl. My name is Linaya. And my name is Tyra. And we have five kids
0:48
The oldest is eight. His name is Princeton. Then we have Messiah
0:52
He's six. We have Legacy. He's five. And we have Treasure. She's three
0:58
and we have True. Look at True Waver. And she's one. And she runs the house
1:04
And she's 50. Usually for breakfast, everybody eats the same. For dinner, everybody is picky
1:13
So I have to try to get everybody fed. How much do you spend on groceries per month
1:19
If you put grocery and out to eat put together, it's easily going over $2,000
1:24
How do you split your household responsibilities? I cook some days. He cook some days
1:33
I wash the laundry and he folds it normally. I feel like all he do is play with me all day
1:42
He's a goofy fun parent and I'm the parent that means business
1:47
Which one of you is this picture of the parents? Oh, definitely her
1:51
Oh, I'm the cool dad. All we do is have fun all day long
1:57
Is he actually fun? Yeah. So what is some of your favorite stuff to do kids I like playing sports and playing video games and I also like going to sleep Right there let go Is this a nice moment for you guys while they eating
2:16
Yes. Oh, yeah. Yeah. They occupied, so that's all that matters. There you go
2:21
If we can get all five of them occupied at the same time, yeah
2:26
We cherish it. There you go. How long have you been married
2:30
August, it would be five years. When we met, I was 16 and she was 13
2:37
I was 14 when I got pregnant with my first kid. How did you feel when you found out you were pregnant
2:46
It was just lack of and disbelief. Yeah, when I found out at first, I about didn't believe it
2:52
Just as it settled in, I kind of like got nervous. How about both your families
2:59
what did they think when you told them? My mom, I think she felt maybe a little disappointed
3:06
About the same thing, about disappointment, and pretty much like, you know what you gotta do now
3:11
if you got a child on the way and everything. How big of a task is it getting everybody ready for you
3:21
You can't do it. It's a really big task, actually, getting them all ready
3:26
You have one crying. You have the other ones. They're running all over the place, won't be still
3:32
What is your day-to-day life like as a parent of five kids? Imagine if every day you had a tornado on the way
3:42
You know a tornado was coming every day in the weather. We got one kid that's always crying
3:47
We got one kid that's always into something. We got another kid that can't never find his socks or shoes
3:54
There's a lot of energy in the song. It can be, at times, a little draining, but it has its moments, you know
4:02
It's a lot of love and caring about each other and everything like that
4:07
So I always wanted a lot of kids so I happy with it Here we go Legacy you like that stick Yeah Are your kids all well behaved
4:20
Yes, for the most part. Every single teacher believes that we have the best kids ever
4:26
But they have their moments where all they do is fight. Good morning my friends and happy Wednesday
4:37
I'm trying to figure out why ain't nobody tell me these kids' last day of school is on Thursday
4:43
I share my life on TikTok by just doing day-to-day routines and sharing my life as a 24-year-old mom of five kids
4:55
Listen here now, I'm 24 with five kids. And if it ever seemed like I was trying to promote teen pregnancy or to have your kids young
5:04
baby, go call them people on me. How do you feel when someone says you're glamorizing teen pregnancy
5:11
I don't like that because I'm not. Some of the negative things that people have said is, why would you do that
5:18
Bro, she's really ruined her life at 14 years of age. Being 24 with five kids isn't it
5:26
I don't care what nobody says. That is really not a good look. How does that make you feel when you hear stuff like that
5:32
Honestly, it don't make me feel bad. It just makes me feel like, you know, everybody should mind it be me
5:39
Do you experience the same sort of, like, judgment-type stuff that she's experienced
5:45
Actually, I haven't experienced any, like, judgment towards this situation. I feel like it's kind of fair
5:54
Can you tell me about how some of your family supports you? If we need anything, they help out a lot, and they help with the kids if needed
6:02
Hey I like your dress Hey Hey Hey Trude You so pretty today Uh Uh Uh Tell me what it like to have all these younglings in your life It great I mean it amazing to see them all hanging out I wouldn trade them for nothing else in the world Oh that is so pretty That a flower
6:25
Oh, oh, oh, oh. Did you have any concerns about that you got when they first
6:31
started dating? No, not really. No, I didn't because my daughter's very
6:39
mature. What about when they first had the kids? Was it kind of like, oh my. Yeah. At first, with her being so young, it was a little upsetting because it was a story about how I found out, but it was very surprising
6:55
What's the story? Tell us the story there. Her and her cousin was on a moped and she fell off
7:03
I had to come take her to the doctor and I was like, well, do you know she's pregnant? No, I do not
7:09
Do you think being 24 years old and having five kids is a lot
7:17
Yeah, it is. Because they're not cheap, but they are doing a great job
7:23
She's doing a great job, though. I can't imagine myself with five kids
7:27
I'm sorry. I'm 30, but I don't know. No, no, no. What do you think makes a good parent
7:39
I think patience. Just being there. Just show up for your kids
7:43
Would you like to have any more children? No, the funny thing is, is after we had our first one
7:50
I want to start in five, like a basketball team. So to me, five is the perfect number
7:57
I gotta get out. My knees hurt. If financial sanity was a problem
8:02
then I have more. Thank you
