I had 12 kids with three men ‘for child benefit’ – but it’s pittance, trolls who tell me to ‘shut my legs’ have no idea
A MUM-OF-TWELVE has gone viral after insisting she only got pregnant to rake in the ''child support'' money.
Mum Britni Church took to Instagram to share the alleged plan behind her 12 pregnancies.
According to the parent, who insisted she is ''not ashamed'' for having the bumper brood, all of her kids have different baby daddies, in total of whom there are three.
But whilst Britni may have had great plans to have some serious money coming her way, unfortunately for her, things haven't quite worked out as she had allegedly hoped them to do.
In a short - and satirical - video posted on her platform, the mum revealed the true sum she gets from child benefit.
''Having 12 kids from three different men for the child support...

''Only to get $17 [£13] a week,'' she joked in the clip.
''All that work and what did it get me?'' Britni went on, suggesting that this was never the true intention behind having 12 pregnancies.
''Apparently I have to say this…it’s a joke guys,'' she reminded in the comments, after the light-hearted video took the platform by storm.
But although Britni insisted that the child support comment was not to be taken seriously, trolls on social media soon raced to slam the mum-of-12.
One meanie said: ''Sounds like a you problem. Shoulda kept them legs shut.''
Another thought: ''Purposefully giving your child a harder life just to get money is crazy.''
''McDonald’s money,'' someone chuckled.
''Crazy that you’ve to explain this is a joke,'' a fourth was stunned by the sheer amount of negative comments.
Britni regularly shares snippets of her daily life as a mum-of-12 on her page, @our_large_family_life, which has been verified and has won the bumper brood close to 160k followers.
She first fell pregnant at the age of 16 and has since spent more than 110 months of her life in total, we previously reported.
She said: “There’s a lot of negative things about large families on TV shows and things like that.
“I’m not mad people automatically think having a lot of kids is shameful or bad.
“I’m just not going to let them make me feel bad about it.”
Now I’m so proud of my kids, I am not ashamed, I am not embarrassed
Britni Church
The US-based mum from Kansas, had her first child, Crizman six days after celebrating her sixteenth birthday with her ex-hubby.
The loved-up couple had married five days before giving birth, and they had another four children together - Jordan, Caleb, Jace and Cadence.
After the divorce, the mum unexpectedly fell pregnant with her sixth tot, Jesalyn, in 2012.
She spent three years raising six kids as a single parent before meeting her current partner, Chris, a sub-contractor, in 2014 - and since then, the family has welcomed another six kids.
After giving birth to Rowyn in 2021, Britni insisted she was done with having more kids, and she's also defended the fact that not all of her offsprings share the same father.
“Honestly when I was a single mum of five and six, I wasn’t really embarrassed but I was ashamed.
“It felt like it was a bad thing to have so many kids, I wouldn’t have traded them for the world.
