A 28-year-old woman with nine children has gone viral after revealing she’s now pregnant with triplets—bringing her expected total to 12 kids—all reportedly supported through the U.S. government’s food stamp (EBT) program.

The woman, known online as quaypartyof9, has drawn both criticism and support for her social media videos where she proudly showcases large grocery hauls from Walmart, Kroger, and Piggly Wiggly, paid for entirely with food stamps.

“It’s a great day and yeah, let’s go eat some breakfast,” she says in one video. “Some buttermilk waffles, some French toast, blueberry waffles, and I’m going to do some Rogerwood sausages.”

She continues in a stream-of-consciousness tone: “Y’all make me drink some breakfast. I told you I’m going to drink some breakfast. 5 hours from now… Walmart, Piggly Wiggly… basically everywhere.”

Repeatedly, she signs off with the now-viral phrase: “I’m not going to hold you up. You got to go.”

In another video, she shares the update that took her story even further viral:
“28 yrs OLD / 9 KIDS & JUST FIND OUT IM PREGNANT WITH TRIPLETS 😭”

The situation has triggered a flood of online reactions, with many questioning the long-term sustainability and oversight of welfare programs in the U.S. Here’s how some viewers are responding:

Marcia Bryan wrote: “Several decades ago, Ohio put into place if you are a single mother, you could only have the X amount of kids at the time you apply for benefits. If you got pregnant after that, you don’t get any $$ for the extra kids. I don’t know if that is the case now but it was brilliant.”

Lynette Ordaz commented: “If she’s got the energy to make all those babies, seems like she could spend 20 hours a week asking, ‘Do you want fries with that?’”

Jennifer Mills-Boyle added: “The problem is assistance is supposed to be just that — to assist, not to live off of. If she had to buy her own groceries, she wouldn’t keep having kids because she wouldn’t be able to afford to.”

Scott Johnson said: “No more food stamps. There should be a limit to how much you receive. If you can’t feed one or two kids, don’t have more.”

Alma Smith asked: “Has she ever worked? To have even put into the system that she’s clearly taking advantage of?”

Richard Coeur de Lion argued:“There should be a limit on money they get after like 4 kids… no extra money.”

Susan Worley added:“No taxpayer money should be given to these women until the father of the kids steps up with support.”

While many criticize her choices as irresponsible or exploitative, others see her as a symptom of a system with few incentives for self-sufficiency and little accountability for parental planning.
