And why I donāt let it bother me.
I used to get so annoyed when people made comments, it started when we had 3 kids under 4. Because honestly thatās a lot to juggle and when Iām alone is when I get the most comments. Let me be clear: any amount of kids is a LOT. Hard is hard to each parent and it doesnāt matter if you have 1 or 5.
Being a parent is an exhausting, usually thankless job and it does keep our hands and minds very full.
If you have 2+ kids youāve likely heard a lot of these comments, and now that we have 6 kids I just laugh at them. I think the real problem with random comments from strangers is a lot of people donāt know how to react to bigger families, mainly because they didnāt grow up in one or donāt have one. That allows them to assume whatever they fancy, if their hands were full with one, they assume since you have 6 it must be insanity. As I said before your hands are full as a parent regardless of the number. Those assumptions give people to urge to make comments, and I truly believe a lot of the comments are not meant to be mean. People are just amazed by the logistics of it all.
I also believe people want to engage in conversation and sometimes put their foot in their mouth, weāve all done it and then walk away wishing we had said something different so offer up some grace to awkward comments. If they are rude make sure you are prepared for some funny responses back.
Hereās the top comments we get and also some responses that make it fun vs dramatic.
āAre you catholic or Mormonā
Well I didnāt know religious status played into my family size but since youāre curious, yes we are indeed catholic. Some catholic families canāt have babies so weāre blessed to be able to.
āYou have your hands fullā
Youāre correct, Iām busy raising kind and loving humans. Thereās nothing in the world more important than that.
āAre they all yours?ā
Nah, I just like to pick up neighborhood kids to make running errands more of a sport for myself. Yes they are all mine and my husbands children, and yes they all came from my vagina (that usually stops people)
āyou know what causes babies right?ā
Actually I donāt, can you enlighten me on how it works š
thatās just a little of how I handle people, try not to take their comments too serious and remember your family only has to make sense to you. You donāt need anyoneās permission to live a life you want.
