Having a large family makes even the smallest things a challenge, as actress and reality star Tori Spelling found out just recently. The former “Beverly Hills 90210” was left stranded on the side of the road the other day.

Check out the image attached to this article for photographic evidence.

It was snapped by Dean McDermott most likely, and shows Toni looking less than pleased, as she’s holding her 4 kids close.

Baby Finn, Hattie (1), Stella (4) and Liam (5) don’t look too happy either. A white dog, perhaps the family pet, is also pictured.

“4 kids. 1 dog. 1 car leaking gas broken down on the side of the road = not a great road trip,” Tori writes in a comment accompanying the photo, posted to her official Instagram account.

She doesn’t offer more details about the incident or say whether they finally got to their destination in time.

In recent years, Tori has been slowly working on her brand, redefining herself as a reality star, mommy blogger and author.

In October last year, she gave birth to her fourth child, but the experience was neither as easy nor as pleasant as the first 3 times, as she revealed in an interview at the time.

About 20 weeks into the pregnancy, she was diagnosed with placenta previa, which led to internal bleeding. Because of it, the star was put 4 months on bed rest and spent 10 weeks in the hospital before she could give birth to her baby boy Flynn.

She said it was the thought of leaving her 3 other children without their mommy that helped her stay strong throughout the ordeal.

“I just remember thinking, I can’t leave three children behind,” Tori explained, as we also reported at the time.

Luckily, both Tori and little Flynn were out of harm’s way shortly after birth, and are now in excellent health.
