Thank you for stopping me today to compliment me on my children. Most people stop and stare and think I'm just nuts for having four kids so young. 99% of the time, I am met with negative comments about how having so many children is just a hassle and a headache. Thank you for being uplifting and positive in regards to raising children. I could tell that you really do love being a mother and that was very refreshing to see. I have no idea who you are, but thank you for making my day and giving me a little boost when I needed it.

Melanie, I know exactly what you're talking about! I get comments constantly, usually it's the sympathetic "you've got your hands full" or "are they ALL yours?" often I'll hear "no twins??" - that remark is followed by the fake smile that shouts 'you're crazy!'
I guess times have changed because 4 kids didn't seem like a lot when I was a kid. Anyway, it is refreshing to run into someone who has an uplifting comment, it really does go a long way!
Ok...that comment was not meant to sound like 4 kids is a piece of cake...just that you aren't insane to have 4!
(pretty sure most people mistake me for insane:)
I totally understand what you're saying!!!! :) We are in the same boat together....insane and loving it, right? :)
