As a proud mom of seven, I embrace the chaos and joy that comes with a large family. Over the years, I’ve been asked a plethora of amusing questions. Here are ten of the most common ones:
-
Are all these kids yours?
Absolutely! I’ve given birth to six of them and adopted one. They’re all mine—though sometimes a neighbor’s child may join in, and I might lose count for a second. -
Do they all share the same father?
It’s baffling that strangers would even ask this. I’ve been happily married for 30 years, and our eldest is already 26! -
Are you Catholic?
Nope! Religion aside, I’m pretty sure most couples can have children regardless of their faith. -
Were all of them planned?
While I’d love to delve into the unique beginnings of each child, that discussion might be a tad too personal—especially with the kids listening in! -
You must be homeschooling them, right?
Actually, no! We don’t homeschool. There’s nothing wrong with it, but we’ve chosen a different path. -
How do you manage to feed them all?
Well, my husband brings home the bacon, and I head to the grocery store. We do have only six plates, so they often take turns! -
Are you finished having kids?
Of course! Who in their right mind would want eight kids? That just sounds impractical when it comes to feeding and caring for them all. -
How can you afford seven children?
Honestly, it’s a stretch! We’ll probably be tackling student loans into our golden years. Got any spare change? -
How do you keep track of them all?
Come on now! There are only seven. I know their names, ages, and a few fun facts about each of them! -
Do they ever argue?
Of course! They’re siblings, after all. It’s part of growing up together.
