Just because I had 6 children in 7 1/2 years doesn't mean that I don't understand birth control and that they were accidents. No, I don't use birth control. I use NFP and I love the way that it works WITH my body. But I wanted children close together and I was open to whatever came my way.
Just because I choose to make my children my life and be a stay at home mom does not mean that I am poor and uneducated. I am in fact neither of those things. I have an education. We are completely and totally comfortable with our financial circumstances. If we were not, I would reevaluate what we needed to do. I will have plenty of time to work outside the home when they are not little. For now, I am working on them.
Just because I was married young and had my children young does not mean that we were married because I was pregnant. #1 was born 14 months after we were married. Thank you very much.
Just because I am Catholic doesn't mean that I HAD to have a large family. We wanted one. Simple as that. There are plenty of Catholic families that follow church teachings and don't have a ton of children. That just wasn't what we wanted.
Just because I believe in God doesn't mean that I didn't research my faith to get a better understanding and then come into by my own choice. I did. I love the Catholic faith and all of it's rich traditions. There was a time in my life where I was very angry at God and it would have been much easier to just abandon everything I believed in. But I wanted it, worked for it, and have been able to come to my faith with a much richer understanding of suffering.
Just because I make grammar mistakes often in my blog doesn't mean I don't know how to write. It just means that I am trying to go quickly before a child wakes up or that the distractions are many and I am not able to tune them out.
Just because I never saw this coming doesn't mean that I am not trying my best to embrace everything that is coming at me.
