Are We There Yet?

Too many kids?

At the playground today I bravely took my four young boys age 4, 16month old twins and a 4 1/2 month old. While it is a bit of a stuggle to do things with them all being so young I enjoy getting them out. Another mom made a comment to me( mind you this is a stranger) she asked if they were all my kids and when I said yes she told me she was "Sorry". Sorry that I had 4 young boys? I am not sorry! When did four kids become a lot? Not too long ago families averaged 6 kids!
What about the lovely parents in the grocery store who ask my kids ages then make a remark about how my youngest must have been an accident. An accident is an unplanned event which has a bad outcome. I prefer to think of him as a wonderful surprise!
So next time you see me out with my kids please keep your mouth shut because I love all my boys and feel blessed to have them!
