When people hear that I have six kids, the reaction is usually entertaining. Sure, there are some days when I wonder what Ive gotten myself into, worry about the world theyll inherit, and/or consider the environmental footprint of a family like mine. But most of the time I just celebrate how awesome it is to have six kids. Here are a few reasons why:
People often comment that kids from big families seem “nice.” Sure, it’s a generalization, but I’ve got a few theories on this one. One of the reasons they’re nice is because it is difficult to spoil them. Certainly there are children from small families who are not spoiled, but spoiling children in large families is nearly impossible. I simply can’t buy identical high-end expensive toys and gadgets for my kids. Most things they have, they share. I also can’t wait on them hand and foot.
So it would appear that kids who are independent, not materialistic and know how to share seem to be perceived as “nice” by the general population.Let’s face it, when you have small kids, you’re already lacking sleep, a social life or even time to sit down to eat. You’ve been mistaken for a zombie at work, and you never go anywhere without a diaper bag. An overnight trip requires a mini-van packed with porta-cots, strollers and twelve changes of clothes for when your baby spits up.
