Unable to work because of her parenting commitments, Sonya and her children live in a four-bedroom council flat in Southampton.
Her family is made up of Nicola, 19, Leah, 17, Shannon, 16, Keon, 14, Erin, 13, Kye, 10, Cana, seven, Lewis, five, and one-year-old Lexi.
Devoted mum Sonya makes every meal for her children from scratch, despite living on a very tight budget.
And getting so many children to school on time is a military operation every morning.
Sonya does admit that being both mum and dad to so many young people isn't without its challenges.
But she stresses that people shouldn't underestimate how difficult it can be to be mum to such a big family.
Sonya said: "People say I haven't got a proper job but I would love to see people do my job.
"They would quit after just one day."
Her children realise how hard Sonya works and insist they are grateful for everything she does.
