Hi girls - I know exactly the sort of comments you get when you have a large family - I think number 5 is the number that tips that balance. When I have miscarried I have had family congratulate me. There are some days when I am feeling drained that to go out with my kids and recieve another negative comment would send me over the edge almost. Nobdy likes to be a freak and I do feel like a freak show when I am out with my amazing, wonderful children and it sucks!!! I love my kids and lovebeing a mum to all 7 of them but I am not supermum and I do have feelings and it does hurt. Even when I am in a new group of people it is like I am pre judged to have it all together and that I think I am better than anyone and no-one will make a move to befriend me, but again I am still a person like everybody else who needs a friend or a smile. I am not perfect and struggle like any other mum whether they have 2 or 10 kids. It is funny though when I do get into a group every women there wants to justify themselves to me why they only have 1,2,3,4,...children! I don't care it is their life and mine is mine so please give us large families a break.
I totaly agree with the last two comments. People can be soooooooooooo rude and alot of people don't think before they say something. When I go out with my 5 children and the last two where twins I get you poor thing how do you cope. It's quite easy thank you.
Hugs to you hun, we have only had one comment so far which was just the other day, Mark was saying he has his 5th child on the way, Mark was then asked when is he getting the snip!!!!!!!!
We`re getting some strange looks when we`re out and about, I can feel people`s eyes drilling into me at times. I feel like saying they aren`t all mine but why should I have to explain myself.
for you.
