Being a mom to seven wonderful kids is an adventure I wouldn’t trade for anything. Over the years, I’ve encountered my fair share of amusing inquiries. Here are ten of the most outlandish questions I often receive:
-
Are all of them your biological children?
Absolutely! I gave birth to six of them and adopted one. They are all mine, though sometimes I lose track of who’s who when the neighbor kids join in. -
Do they all share the same dad?
Believe it or not, strangers have asked me this. My husband and I have been happily married for three decades, and our eldest is 26. -
Are you part of a particular religion?
Nope! I’m not Catholic, but I think most belief systems permit couples to have kids, don’t you? -
Were they all conceived on purpose?
Oh, I’d love to share the details of each child’s conception, but that might come off as awkward since they’re all right here eavesdropping! -
You must be a homeschooling family, right?
Actually, no. We don’t homeschool, and there’s nothing wrong if others choose that path. -
How do you manage to feed them all?
Well, my partner brings home the bacon, and I hit the grocery store. Funny enough, we only have six plates, so they take turns eating! -
Are you planning to have more?
Of course, I’m done! Who in their right mind would want to raise eight kids? That’s just too many mouths to feed! -
How do you afford a family this big?
Honestly, we can’t! I expect to be paying off student loans by the time we’re in a nursing home. Got any spare change? -
How do you keep track of them?
Come on! It’s only seven kids; I know all their names and ages. I even remember a few fun facts about each one! -
Do they ever argue?
Sometimes, but that’s just sibling life for you.
