Q: Multiple Children

This message is for some of you girls out there, you know who you are.

I was wondering how do you girls have time for anything with so many kids to deal with. I don't want to offend anyone or for anyone to take this the wrong way. But how is it that you girls are soo young and have more that one child. I mean i'm 25, married with the support of my husband and I find it hard. I've read that someof you are single mothers and some of you have different fathers, like I said nothing is wrong with that. But with the economy being so hard and things being so expensive, how you do it. I'm a college student who was told that I couldn't have any children and with all of that being said. I still somehow manage to concieve two children. My husband works all day while I stay home with my son. When he comes home I go to school. I'm physically drained as it is now. I have no idea what i'm going to do with another one. I'm not saying that I don't want my second child, I couldn't be happier. But i'm working on my teaching degree and my school work is so time consuming, I guess I just want to know how do you do it. I want to prove my mother wrong that I could have another and still finish school.

P.S. I hope I didn't offend anyone. I've read some of the arguments you guys have had.

To be honest its plain old hard work! I have 3 children ages 7, 3 1/2 and 11 months. I had my first son 4 days after I turned 16. My second at 19 and my baby at 22. Yes it is definately hard. But I work hard, I graduated high school and continued on to college until my husband passed away and I could work and go to school. I don't take any offense to what you said. It was a very logical question!

I read about what happened to you yesterday. I wish you the best for the rest of your life. What happened to you left me so sad. I thought I could wrtie something nice to you. But I really don't know what to say, but i'm sorry for your loss.

I like the hard work! Smile I think my kids are great and my boyfriend does anything and everything to take care of us and give us everything we need. I have a lot of support from my family and they help me with the kids when I need it! Smile
