Love this Post

My grandmother grew up in a large family of 11 kids. (7 brothers, 4 sisters) It was a norm when she was born in the early 1900's. You had a large family and they helped work the land and raise the animals, etc. No one thought is unusual. I have never seen a stronger bond between siblings than I have with my grandmother and her siblings.

These days, we raise eyebrows with our 4. Mostly by the look. In fact, on our way home on Sunday we stopped for a potty break. A lady asked me if we were a foster family. That is in fact what we appear to be to most people. However, even our 'largish small'/'mediumish' family draws comments by the fact that there are 4 kids. How can you afford it? Where do they all sleep? How do you have time for each of them? You must be tired a lot? Blah blah blah.

So, that's why I love THIS blog post. I think people tend to make judgments about others based on how they'd feel if they were in the situation. Just because it isn't right for you doesn't mean it isn't right for someone else.
