Parents everywhere know the struggle of getting their children ready for school.
So spare a thought for Clive and Louise Andrews, from Lincolnshire, who face a daily battle to get their 10 children out the door in the morning.
The couple, who have three girls and seven boys aged between five months and 17, need so much space that they live in two connected three-bedroom homes in Lincolnshire - and have so many clothes they use an entire bedroom as a wardrobe.
Part-time cleaner Louise, 34, and stay-at-home dad Clive, 50, opened up about what it takes to keep their busy household running in last night's episode of Big Family Values: More Kids than Cash.
They have to forgo family holidays in order to afford their £1,000-a-month food bill and need two cars to go on any day out. But despite the financial demands - and the accompanying stress - the couple insist they still want to try for baby number 11.
It's not clear whether the family claim state benefits, but Clive and Louise would be eligible to claim Child Tax Credit for at least nine out of their 10 children, as they are 16 or younger.
'Having 10 children is an absolute blessing,' he said. 'It's 24/7 around the clock but I enjoy it.'
While the average British family spends roughly £400 a month on food, the Andrews splash out more than twice as much.
Their weekly shop includes 15 boxes of cereal, 10kg potatoes, 15 pints of milk and up to 12 loaves of bread to make enough sandwiches for the school lunchboxes.
Clive said: 'We don't go out and spend thousands of pounds on holidays.
'Instead of spending thousands of pounds on holidays and living it up in the sun we live it up at the supermarket and make sure the kids are fed.'
She estimated that the kitchen table alone might be wiped down 20 times a day.
To save money the family often take a packed lunch to the park for a day out. But on the programme they are also seen making the trip to Skegness as a special treat.
Up until recently the Andrews travelled in their own mini bus but had to send the vehicle to be scrapped. They now need two cars to go anywhere as a family.
On the day out the family had to carefully budget to make sure costs didn't spiral.
A McDonald's lunch for the family-of-twelve came to roughly £40.
While Louise works full-time as a cleaner, Clive cares full-time for his children - and said he only wishes he had done it sooner.
'I worked five, six days a week, every week,' he said. 'Especially with the older two I look back and I think, "I don't even remember you as children".
'It's daddy day care for me now and daddy day care was something wish I had done quite a long time ago.'
Louise suffered complications with her last pregnancy but the couple want to try for another baby once she gets the all-clear.
Clive said: 'I would say 100% I would have more.'
The show also looks at the lives of Patrick and Grainne Kelly, who live with their six children in a five-bedroom house on the family farm in Northern Ireland.
The couple, who have five sons and a daughter under the age of 10, have plenty of space for their brood but that doesn't mean they don't have other demands.
Cardiology nurse Grainne, 36, is on maternity leave after giving birth to their youngest child just five months ago. Patrick works on his father's farm.
