While most parents find it challenging to handle a couple of children, one Australian mom, Chloe Dunstan, and her husband Rohan have their hands full managing their family of eight children, including twins and triplets. Their heartwarming story showcases the art of juggling multiple responsibilities with grace and efficiency.
Chloe Dunstan, a 27-year-old mother from Perth, Australia, has become a social media sensation by sharing insights into her bustling life as a parent of eight. Chloe and Rohan have embraced the ups and downs of life with their extraordinary family.
Chloe, who conceived all her children naturally, paints a picture of her busy life on social media. It all began with three children: Evan, 8, Otto, 7, and Felix, 6, by the time Chloe turned 22. This was swiftly followed by the arrival of triplets Rufus, Hank, and Pearl, now nearly 5 years old. To add to the excitement, two more babies are expected to join the Dunstan family this November. Remarkably, all of these children were conceived naturally. While Chloe acknowledges the increased workload that comes with more children, she and her family are enthusiastic about expanding their family even further.

Chloe’s routine begins at 4:30 pm, when she prepares dinner for the entire family. During this time, the older children help tidy up their playroom, while the youngest take a nap. The babies rest in their rockers while Chloe prepares a nutritious meal for the kids. Dinners like pasta, loaded with vegetables, are favored for their simplicity and nutritional value. Given the demands of her day, quick and nutritious meals are essential.
By 6 pm, the kids sit down to enjoy their dinner, with Chloe and her husband occasionally joining them. On busier days, the couple dines once all the kids are asleep, usually a few hours later.
Following dinner, the children take turns having baths and putting on their pajamas. Simultaneously, Chloe takes care of the newborn twins while keeping a watchful eye on the older kids. However, Chloe’s evening does not include relaxation and TV time. Instead, she guides her children through their bedtime routine, which includes brushing their teeth and reading a bedtime story.
By 8 pm, all the children are snug in their beds, allowing Chloe to unwind and spend quality time with her husband. Chloe admits that managing such a large family comes with its challenges, particularly when the triplets were younger. But the Dunstans have learned to prioritize connection and happiness, which serve as the foundation of their family.
Chloe’s story is a testament to the strength and adaptability of families who find their own path through the unique journey of raising a large family.
