As a mother of eight kids so far, I can tell you that I'm challenged everyday in a various ways. But, I can't think of any one or more reasons that I would trade it all in for less. I can't imagine having less wash, less cooking, less cleaning, less diaper changing ( I've always had 2 in diapers), less cracking the whip with the teens, less arguing with my teens about a decision my husband and I made regarding them, less playing ring around the rosie, and london bridge, and the list goes on. I just can't imagine less of any of those things. Whats more is, I really wouldn't enjoy less. Heres some of the reasons why.

Great piece! I'd love to have a houseful of children, although I know that we'll wait a bit longer before #3! Nicely written!
