Don't believe whoever wrote this.  What is she going to say?  That being a mother of so many children absolutely stinks and she hasn't been able to so much as shit in peace without a kid underfoot?  That if she had a time machine, there is a lot she would change, starting with the third kid on?  There is no room for mothers to be so honest without backlash.  So, we glorify simplistic propaganda like that disseminated in the article.[/quote]

Look, she had 9 kids. You can call it propaganda, but clearly it was her choice.

What I thought was interesting about her story was that she still remembers how damn hard the first child was, how lonely it was, how confusing and frustrating. I don't think she's glorifying anything. I do think that as children get older, a mother's job gets to be more fun. I work full time and have had a rough road with our two children and adapting to mother hood. When I read this article, I found her story consoling and it helped me get through our youngest's endless nights. [/quote]
