I was asked at a birthday party for my nephew how I keep my sanity.
My children are young. They are playful, smart, loving, funny, destructive, prideful and full of energy. They are just as kids should be. To the world it seems I have too many. I go to Starbucks and hear things like "you need that coffee with all those kids don't you? I know I would" Or "you must be tired with all those kids" I go grocery shopping and hear things like " Are they all yours? you're done now right?" With stares and nasty looks. My kids could be on their best and sweetest behavior and I still hear this everywhere I go. People ask how I do it, or say it would make them crazy.
I have 1 lovely girl, and 4 handsome boys. I hear comments like " you need more girls" people even go as far as saying to my kids, "your mom needs more girls."
I am fed up. So here is my answer to everyone... God the Almighty Creator of Heaven and Earth, The God of the bible, who knew me before I was created gave me 5 amazing children to raise. It can be difficult. I do get tired and overwhelmed. I pray about it, I ask my husband for help when I need it. That is if he isn't already helping. He does every bit as much as me. We work together to try and raise our Children in the Lords way. I hope I am not done having kids. I pray that God blesses me with more. I trust Him and know that He is in control. He gives and takes away. I am happy to have only one lovely girl, That's what God wants me to have. I am happy to have four handsome boys. That is what God wants me to have.
They are to me a blessing, not a burden, not a curse. they are a beautiful blessing. Each one their own person, that I get to know and love. They have their own likes and dislikes. They have their own faults and charms. They are each made by a God who is greater than any other. What better way to spend my time then with 5 of the most incredible people I have ever met?!?!
If you think I am crazy that is fine, But please keep your rude comments to yourself and away from my kids. They are a joy to me and they are all mine. Well, My husbands and mine. :) He loves them as much as me.
