A video featuring Alejandra Espinoza on the show Desiguales went viral through Univision’s official Instagram account.

Espinoza, the seventh of ten children, shared her experience growing up in such a large family, stating:

“I am number seven of 10 kids. No matter how good a parent is, a mom or dad can never give enough time to all their children.”

“Now, the good thing about growing up in such a big family is the relationship you have with your siblings as adults. I can tell you that raising 10 kids is very difficult and must be frustrating.

“But it can be done, and it was done in our case,” Alejandra Espinoza assured.

She continued, «I thank God that we are all a very united family, with a few exceptions.»

«My mom was a nurse. She had to quit her job and couldn’t continue working or have a social life with 10 kids—it’s extremely exhausting as a mother.»

One follower noted, «Raising kids is very frustrating, and nowadays, parents don’t even know how to raise one, let alone ten.»

Another commenter shared, “Let’s not compare parents from the past with those today. We were 13 kids and grew up with zero love from our parents, no education, food, clothes, shoes, or studies.”
