I was talking to my stepdad the other day about two young boys he knows. Their mother works full-time and prefers to spend her weekends with her boyfriend rather than her children. My stepdad was lamenting how much these sweet children want time with their mom and he made this comment:
If only they could have as much quality time with their mom as your children do with you!
I found that very ironic given the way the world views big families. We can't possibly have enough time with our children, right? I mean, sure we might be home with them all day long (since so many big families tend to homeschool), but how can we spend quality time with all of them when there are so many?
Ha! And again I say HA!!

You're right -- I often wish people could spend a day here and see just how much positive attention each child really gets, not just from me but from each other.
Hi, thanks for the great post. I'm trying to contact the owner of this blog via e-mail but the form isn't going through. My name is Lande Yoosuf and I am a Casting Director recruiting for a series about large, diverse mult-generational families living under one roof. If you or anyone you know is interested, please contact me lande@lifefilmentertianment.com.
Also, if you know of any national organizations that cater to/assemble large, diverse families such as your own, please let me know. Thanks so much, hope to talk to you soon!
Yes, it's definitely quality time and not quantity time. I am glad your stepdad noticed how much more time your children get than those two boys. Lisa~
