I have 3 kids right now, 8, 5, 2, and one due in 5 weeks and am wondering how I'm going to juggle it all. Especially since the 2yo is the worst one. ;-) But I've been trying to be less upset about "interruptions" and more calm and purposeful about them. Also, we were having dinner w/my two nieces ages 9 and 7 and they were talking about how many kids they were going to have when they grew up. My oldest said she wanted 5 or 6 kids, my middle daughter said 12 (he-he), my 7yo niece said 100! (just to beat out everyone else), and my 9yo niece said she's never having any kids. :-( Her mother is not a great mom, very self-centered, they go to ps and they're w/dad #3 right now. Needless to say it was quite eye-opening for my sister-in-law. But for me as well, to see that my kids value our time together and want to keep the legacy of big families and hs'ing going w/their future families!! I just read this and it's wonderful!
