Being a mom of seven wonderful children is a joy I wouldn’t trade for anything. Over the years, I’ve encountered my fair share of absurd questions. Here’s a light-hearted look at ten of the most common ones:
-
Are they all yours?
Absolutely! I gave birth to six of them and adopted one. Sometimes I lose track when a neighbor’s child joins the chaos, but I definitely claim them all. -
Do they all have the same dad?
It’s hard to believe, but yes, complete strangers have asked me this! My husband and I have been happily married for 30 years, and our eldest is 26. It’s baffling! -
Are you Catholic?
Nope, I’m not Catholic. But I think all religions permit couples to have kids. Isn’t that the fun part of being married? -
Were they all planned?
Ah, if only I could dive into the details of each child’s conception in this moment! But that might make things a bit awkward, especially with the kids listening in. -
You must be homeschooling them, right?
Actually, no, we don’t homeschool. But hey, no judgment if that’s your jam—whatever works for you! -
How do you feed them all?
Simple! My husband earns the paycheck, and I handle the grocery shopping. We might only have six plates, so they take turns eating. -
Are you done?
Of course, I’m done. Who in their right mind would want to have eight kids? That’s just too many mouths to feed! -
How can you afford seven children?
Great question! The truth is, we can’t. We’ll probably still be paying off student loans when we’re in nursing homes. Got any spare change? -
How do you keep track of them?
Come on, it’s not like I have a hundred kids! Just seven. I know their names, ages, and a few fun facts about each of them, thank you very much! -
Do they fight?
Occasionally! They’re siblings, after all. It’s practically part of the job description.
