In addition, having more children didn't feel like so much work b/c of the various ages. Having the 2 older girls to do things for themselves and the little ones sometimes took a load off of me.<br /><br />However, on the other hand, I realized that the older girls needed a different level of communication with me. They wanted to actually hold a "conversation" with me. They had more to contribute to devotion etc, which was good, but took another level of my "mental/emotional" tank.<br /><br />I think this is the reason I have heard from parents who have older children and teens extra that I am in the "easy" stage of parenting b/c although I do almost all of the housework etc myself b/c my kids are so young, parenting is straightforward. However, issues w/raising children as they get older gets way more complicated.<br /><br />Do you think that is true? <br />Do you think that there was a big difference between having 3 than 7?LaSandrahttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04207768089041907981noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578836614897662536.post-17017497195374005292009-07-14T09:40:33.662-07:002009-07-14T09:40:33.662-07:00Well I'm glad it was a positive day for you. ...Well I'm glad it was a positive day for you. Back in the day when I had 7 young children of my own a friend across the street who had 3 of her own told me she didn't see any difference between 3 or 7. Now that you've done it, what do you think?Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/00444896414475893411noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3578836614897662536.post-67343979068456779322009-07-11T23:57:01.663-07:002009-07-11T23:57:01.663-07:00Hey LH....What a GREAT DAY i'm sure it was!
