As the interview got underway, the reporter asked Nadya about how meal times work, especially as there are 14 siblings in the kitchen. Nadya explained how because there are so many kids, they all have to eat in shifts. Some even sleep on the couch or do other activities while the other kids eat. It seems as though the family just work together in harmony this way, and it’s pretty heartwarming to see.

How did she do it?’
