I have heard over the years many times about how people worry the kids won't get enough attention or "one on one attention". I was thinking about it for a few days as we have all our time together. It really did make me laugh.
I spend more time with my kids than most parents. My kids homeschool so I am with them all day long every day! I work with them one and one and I get to see the "light bulb" when they understand each new concept. I know all about their personalities, thoughts, desires, and quirks. I rarely miss a moment of their lives!
Many families have two working parents. They have their kids for a few hours in the evenings, run to sporting events, and have weekend time. It works for them and many take extra care to raise well adjusted and loving children.
I'm not here to debate stay at home vs working mothers. I know some of both who do exceptional jobs!
I just wonder if the people who ask "how?" I can do it take into consideration that I have my children for many more hours per day than many parents do???
My kids have me all day long every day. They get plenty of attention and are doing exceptionally well.
If you came across this and you are thinking about whether you should add to your family or feeling guilty that a new addition will take away from your current children, DON'T. God gave mommies lots of love to go around and more family members just means more people to love each other. My kids will tell you that they can't find a negative to it. They love each other dearly and can't wait to have more brothers and sisters to share family life with. :)
