MP 006 : The Survival Zone

“You want to know what it’s like having a fourth kid? Imagine you’re drowning, and then someone hands you a baby.” ~ Jim Gaffigan We believe the most challenging years of parenting are not related to how many kids you have, but rather how close in age they are. Young families say to us all the time, ”We shouldn’t complain, because we only have three kids and you have ten.” This is not true! The period of time when your family consists of kids who are all in car seats, can’t tie their own shoes, and are barely potty trained is an extremely difficult time. Be encouraged! This is a phase that doesn’t last forever (though it might feel like an eternity at the time). Just remember: if you can survive this, you can survive anything!
