Every time I go out in public with the children, I hear "Wow, you've sure got your hands full!". Seriously, every.single.time we go anywhere I get that comment. And not usually in a nice way either- the tone is usually more along the lines of feeling sorry for me because I have so many kids (only three!) and how much work they must be.
I'd love to just print several copies to keep in my purse and just start handing it out every time someone says to me in a pitying way that I've got my hands full.
They Are A Handful
This part is so especially true: "Somehow the woman who holds a full time job AND tries to manage a home AND leads the Girl Scout troop AND does whatever else she does never gets the barrage of "but it's so much work!"
Or the student working on his PHD while waiting tables at night...it's a noble thing he does, so we pat him on the back and say "good job". -Christian at http://heartsforfamily.blogspot.com/
