The Holiday Hiccups of the Riquelme Family
Ah, school holidays! A joyous time for most families, where the kids’ laughter rings through the house and the living room looks like it was hit by a tornado of toys. But for the Riquelme family, it seems the holidays have kicked off with all the grace of a hippopotamus on a unicycle.
When the Thermometer Plays Up
According to the ever-entertaining Instagram of Stéphanie Riquelme, one of her little darlings has turned the school holidays into a bit of a medical drama. On October 22, 2024, Stéphanie documented the unfortunate news about her son, Lyvio, who seemingly took a quick detour from fun and games to plague-ridden poster child with a fever of 39.3°C. “=And that’s it for Lyvio,” she announced, and followed it up with, “=We’re off to a good start to the holidays.” Now, if that isn’t the hallmark of a proper family vacation, I don’t know what is! Nothing like a bout of fever to slap a family holiday in the face!
She’s Got More Kids Than Time
If you’re wondering what it’s like being Stéphanie Riquelme, just imagine juggling seven balls, while cars are whizzing past you, and you’re trying to remember where you left the one you’re meant to catch next. This mother of three girls and four boys has become quite the staple on Large Families: Life in XXL, where her ability to conquer chaos is perhaps only rivaled by the likes of Superman—if Superman had to deal with school runs and tantrums, that is!
However, it’s not just one sick child that’s bringing the chaos. In a previous social media update, Stéphanie revealed her struggle to keep up with it all: “I don’t have time to stay active on social networks,” she lamented. And who can blame her? In a life filled with “picking up so-and-so and dropping off so-and-so,” it’s amazing she even has time to breathe! “I don’t have time for anything anymore,” she said, adding a heartfelt admission about neglecting her own beauty needs. “Neither to do eyelashes, nor nails, nor eyebrows. I’m put on the sidelines.” Ah, yes, the beautiful struggle of motherhood, where spa days become a mythical fantasy, and “me-time” is just a catchphrase!
Bracing for Impact
With a laundry list of issues including phone disasters, illness, and a slew of viruses that could probably take over a small country, it would seem the Riquelme family is starting this school holiday season on the back foot. But then again, isn’t that just the reality of modern parenting? When you’ve got more kids than you can count, you might as well just start a family reality show and cash in on the hilarity of it all. After all, laughter is the best medicine, right? Although, Lyvio might need a dose of something a tad stronger right now!
Conclusion: Chaos in All Its Glory
So here’s to the Riquelme family, navigating the stormy seas of family life with humor and resilience. May your holiday season include plenty of love, a pinch of madness, and perhaps just a tad less fever. After all, if you can make it through this holiday with a sense of humor intact, you can survive anything! Or at least, hold out for the next season of Large Families: Life in XXL.
The school holidays do not go as planned for the Riquelme family. This Tuesday, October 22, 2024, Stéphanie Riquelme took to her Instagram story to announce that one of her children was sick.

“We’re off to a good start to the holidays”: new misadventure for Stéphanie Riquelme (Large families)
Kelya, Kalyannah, Kélennah, Giulyano, Giullyan, Livyo and Lévy occupy all of Stéphanie Riquelme’s time. And while the school holidays have just started, everything is not going as planned for the little tribe. In any case, this is what Stéphanie Riquelme announced in her Instagram story published on Tuesday October 22, 2024: “And that’s it for Lyvio“, she first wrote on a photo of a thermometer showing 39.3° fever. “We’re off to a good start to the holidays“, she then concluded.

Stéphanie Riquelme (Large families) has “no more time for anything”
And yet, Stéphanie Riquelme already seems to have a busy schedule. On September 25, 2024, while her children had returned to school and extracurricular activities, the mother explained that she did not have time to stay active on social networks: “I’m sorry, I don’t have much time to do facecams anymore.” To candidates of Large families: life in XXL had also confided that she was very tired by all her obligations: “I pay for my fatigue, my getting up at 5 a.m., my going to bed at 11 p.m. or more, my comings and goings: picking up so-and-so, dropping off so-and-so, looking for so-and-so…“And the mother even admitted to putting aside her own needs:”I don’t have time for anything anymore. Neither to do eyelashes, nor nails, nor eyebrows. I’m put on the sidelines.“And for good reason, the start of the school year had already gone very badly for the Riquelme family who had had a series of struggles. Between the phone falling through, covid, whooping cough and scarlet fever, the mother was losing patience.”It’s great (…) It’s like that, it’s a good way to start the year (…)“, she quipped.
