Emma Hann still remembers the first time her children made her breakfast in bed on Mother's Day.

"Pancakes and ice cream," she says without a moment's hesitation, before bursting into laughter.

"The pancakes were raw in the middle," adds Roy, her husband of 25 years.

The pair are taking a quick break from their hectic routine at their home in Dundee as the hum of a washing machine rumbles away in the background.

Emma says: "You’ve got to be like, 'that’s so kind' but pancakes and ice cream is not a nice breakfast. But they thought it was. They’re cute."

The house may be quiet at 11am on a Friday, save for baby Meg gurgling in Roy’s arms and four-year-old Posy padding in and out of the room, but come 3.30pm the three-storey converted semi-detached house quickly descends into organised chaos.

Roy and Emma, both 46, have 13 children together, 11 daughters and two sons, making them one of the biggest families in Scotland.

While daughters Rachel, 24, Polly, 21 and Charlotte, 20, have all flown the nest, the family home is still filled with children who are either working, at school or in nursery.

Sophia, 22, is the eldest of the couple’s 11 children who still lives at home, alongside her siblings Alice, 17, Annabelle, 15, Jennifer, 13, Isabella, 12, Jonas, ten, Enos, eight, Eva, six, Posy, four and Meg, who has just turned one.

A typical day in the Hann household usually begins at 7am, with Annabelle and Jennifer wakened first for high school, before the four primary-aged children are mustered for washing and dressing.

The family usually gets through five large boxes of cereal and 40 pints of milk each week, with a simple weekend breakfast of scrambled eggs on toast requiring three loaves of bread and four dozens eggs.

With Roy usually working night shifts at the local hospital, Emma is responsible for doing two school runs in the family’s seven-seater car in the morning before returning home to the mountains of laundry, cleaning and any admin that needs done.

By 6pm, the family all sit down together to a large meal before the children go off to tackle their homework and play, while Roy heads to work.

It's not until 11pm, once all the kids are in bed, that Emma can finally put her feet up.

The couple both come from large families themselves, with Emma one of eight and Roy one of nine, and although they say each of their children has been planned, they have left having children up to nature.

Emma says: "I don’t think either of us expected to have this amount of children. We’ve never had a number, we’ve kind of left it to nature as well."

Roy adds: "When we felt ready and comfortable to have another one, luckily we had one."

While families across the country will be spoiling their mothers with bunches of flowers and cards on March 6, Emma admits the holiday is one she has never really been particularly excited about.

She explains: "I think because we've never really had loads of money and Roy works shifts, sometimes I can be a bit more dismissive of days because I don't want [the children] to waste their money and I don't want them to make a big fuss.

"[I think] 'it's not going to be a particularly amazing day because dad’s not going to be here making an amazing meal' so I'm kind of like 'oh it doesn't matter'."

As the Hanns' baker’s dozen grow up and got jobs, the older children have taken to spoiling their siblings, as well as their parents.

For birthdays and Christmas gifts, the 13 children often club together with their pocket money and wages to buy their parents presents, with Emma getting Ugg boots at Christmas and Roy an iPad for his birthday last year.

Emma explains: "I think possibly because they didn't get lots growing up, they kind of like spending their money on things for each other now."

The family, who are Mormons, live across the road from their church, with Emma recalling last year’s Mother’s Day where one of her daughters spoke to the congregation.

"We were at church and one of them had to give a talk on Mother’s Day," Emma adds.

"They were telling this story about how I named them all flowers once and I had said she was a wildflower - she then got me the same flower on a charm for my Pandora bracelet.

“I think my more memorable Mother’s Days have been more recently, where everyone comes together."

This Mother’s Day will be spent without Roy by her side, meaning it will be business as usual for the busy mum.

"If Roy was off then I would be able to stay in bed and Roy would be able to bring them all up in the morning," she says.

Roy adds: "If I was here I could help them with breakfast, maybe a full Scottish or something. You like your bacon."

Whatever lies in store for her this Mother’s Day, Emma knows her thoughtful children will make her feel special for the love and support she gives to the family of fifteen.

Although there are no guarantees that breakfast won’t be pancakes and ice cream.
