SUPERMUM!

Sue Povey gets up at six every morning and makes breakfast for fifteen people. Sue has a difficult job – she works hard

every day. Why? Because she’s a mother with fifteen children, and thirteen of them live at home.

Sue Povey and her family live in Swindon in the south of England. After breakfast, her husband, Ian, goes to work. Sue

drives the children to school. (She needs a minibus for this!) Nine children go to school and she drives home with the other

four children. Every weekday she looks after the children and cleans the house. She does the washing eight times a day, and

she irons clothes for three hours.

Every afternoon at 3.30 she collects the children from school in the minibus. Then she helps them with their homework.

After that she cooks dinner for fifteen. Her husband comes home at six. After dinner, she goes to the supermarket with two

of her sons. They help her with the shopping. She buys 50 litres of milk a week!

Sue says: ‘I love my family. All the children help me and help each other. I want more children!’ Her husband Ian says: ‘It’s

never boring in this family.’ Thomas, 7, says: ‘I always have someone to play with.’ Katie, 5, says: ‘I like having new

babies in the house.’ And Matt, 9, says: ‘It’s very noisy!’
