Time for a Comeback for Large Families



Have you noticed the influx and popularity of reality television showcasing large families? I’m not talking about four kids and a few pets. I’m talking 8, 12 even 16 children!

It seems the common thread in these shows is that the family unit is the most important thing. Consistency and multitasking ensures everyone knows their place and that their contribution is vital and appreciated.

You don’t see a lot of “Keeping Up With the Jones” type attitude in these families. They are just living their lives and doing the best they can. And they seem to be truly happy.

For many of us, we strive to have the perfect children, a wonderful spouse and a beautiful home. Whew! That’s a lot of pressure.

Maybe we should just get back to basics like our parents did and these large families seem to be doing. It sure seems to work pretty well.

You know the saying, “Don’t sweat the small stuff. And it’s all small stuff.”
