Stay at home mum Natalie, 45, recently took to to share a tour of the enormous home she shares with her husband and her bumper brood.
The whopping abode, which is 4000 square feet, has a music room, a play room, three bathrooms and even a guest room.
Whilst some of the children share bedrooms, the rooms are huge, with ample space for them to run around.
The post, shared under the account name @ecrstfmjdkqki quickly went viral, racking up 935,000 views on the video sharing platform.
Many were in awe of the home, and stated that it would be a great place to play hide and seek.
One person commented: “Wow incredible.
“How can you afford all of this? What an absolute DREAM!!”;;
A second person said: “13 kids...Massive house with cupboards & hallways stretching for miles...Let’s play HIDE & SEEK!”;;
A third person said: “It’s giving cheaper by the dozen vibes.”;;
However, others were quick to judge Natalie, from , such as one person who said: “Imagine the burden on the state benefit system.”;;
Shooting back at this, Natalie revealed that her husband earns more than £80,000 a year, meaning that the family is not entitled to child benefit.
Many people were also curious as to how Natalie and her family are able to afford such a huge home.
Sharing an explanation, Natalie said in a reply to one comment: “Please don’t think I’m bragging.
“This is a military house that we are in for our current tour.
“I do try really hard to make where we live as comfy as possible for my family.”;;
Natalie explained that her husband is a pilot in the RAF, and often has to move around.
This means that her family often has to move with him, and relocate to different accommodation.
Military personnel and their families are provided with accommodation, based on their rank and the number of dependents they have.
They do not get to choose which accommodation they live in but it is heavily subsidised meaning that it costs the family much less than if they were to rent privately.
