Today, I'm excited to be guest posting at Joyful Mothering. The name of Christin's blog itself was enough to get me interested in reading what she had to write - sometimes it's that fruit of the Spirit which is hard to bring forth in the messes of motherhood. ;)
Here's a smidgen of the post... and for the rest, please hop on over to Joyful Mothering:
With a quiver full of four children eight years old and under, I frequently receive the comments, “Wow! You must be busy,” “You must have your hands full,” and “I don’t know how you do it.” They are comments I have come to expect. They are ones I dread to hear.
I dread them because what I sense in these comments is a notion that parenting more than two children is a burden, not a blessing...
See you there :)

SO glad to have you Andrea!
Perhaps they are not always comments of a critical nature--perhaps people comment because they know it takes a lot of patience to manage a larger family. Many people of the previous generation came from larger families and know what their own mothers went through. Sometimes what may seem like a criticism is actually a compliment.
