Things I’ve learned having 8 kids…
My first two children were super easy. I thought I was just a great mom and had it all figured out 🤪 turns out, I didn’t. Sometimes kids will throw you for a loop and humble you big time!
Personality types are a thing. I find them fascinating and love learning about them in my marriage and in parenting!
You will learn to let things go that you didn’t before - I used to fix the pillows and blankets on the couch all the time and felt like it was almost “holy” to do so. Now, I don’t. A person can only worry and think about so many things!
Siblings do fight- even if you are teaching them that they should love one another. My sister and I fought all the time and we have been best friends for years now.
You get awkward comments in public. I usually don’t take offense because people are often trying to make small talk.
What would you add??
