I always here comments like "you have your hands full" and disapproving looks and stares. I am so happy to have been blessed by God with this amazing family and I couldn't imagine lift without them. Not too long ago 4 kids didn't seem like such a big family. I come from a blended step family of 4 kids and I have so many fond memories of playing with my siblings. Thank you for writing this post.

I come from a family on 6. I myself may not have that many, but who knows.

We just had our fifth child this May. Where with our first we had showers and hearty congratulations. With this fifth child we got nary so much as an "aww". Even my husbands closest brother didn't come to see the child till she was almost 3 weeks old. The only gift came from my mother. My MIL (a child herself in a family of six and with 5 children of her own) has hardly acknowledged the new one. I get plenty of looks when we're out and can sometimes feel the disapproval of people in the stores drilling holes in my back. Its such a pity our society has been conditioned (by feminists I believe) that children are a hindrance and a nuisance.I'm sure they appreciate the fact that THEY were born and loved growing up.
