I went to Costco last week to get some pictures. While I was waiting, I bought some Cold Stone gift cards, because they were discounted. As I
was getting them from an employee, and old man came up to me and
said, “Thank You.” I thought he was being clever and wanted me to
give him the cards. I just looked confused and said, “What?” He
said “Thank you.” I said, “For what?” He said, “For having
all these kids and for being a good mother.” That was very kind of
him. Most people say things that indicate they think I'm crazy for
having so many kids that are obviously close in age.
We all have the timing that works for us in having kids. We all have a number of kids that works for us. My decisions may be different than yours, but they're Scott's and my decisions. We love all our kids and we love how close they are in age. I wouldn't change a thing. Yes, chaos may ensue when I go shopping with all of them, but I love them anyway.
