Nearly every time someone from work finds out that I have 5 children, all of them age 6 and under, they make some comment about how difficult that must be. The typical conversation might go like this:
Them - "You have 5 children?"
Me - "Yep."
Them - "Wow! That must be a ton of work. I can't imagine doing that?"
This usually causes me to pause and consider how difficult it really is to parent this many little ones, and the fact that we volunteered for it, and the fact that it'll be 20 more years before I have any hope of being kid-free.
Then I come home after a long day of work. I'm instantly assaulted by slobbery kids with their dirty diapers and loud squeals and relentless questions. And I think, "There is no place I'd rather be right now than right here with my wife and these children." What a blessing.
