When I would people would hear that the comments were usually negative... However there were a few times when women much older than me would say how great little boys are and I have one example where a woman and her husband walked over to our table at restaurant looked at each of my boys and said "I have never seen such well behaved quiet boys, you are doing a great job with them" then proceeded to give each of them 50 cents for the gumball machines. Now that my guys are getting close to the tween yrs I find myself encouraging young moms whether it be in the grocery store, the mall, or even a restaurant. It actually makes ME feel better too!amock1229https://www.blogger.com/profile/07706126776404957770noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585836611455036726.post-25317450484732891902012-08-02T08:39:00.364-05:002012-08-02T08:39:00.364-05:00Well said!

When we found out we were having our third boy, I wrapped my heart around the idea...started falling in love and then would hear people's comments 'Oh man you are in for it....You are going to have your hands full....Oh I bet you were so disappointed. " How do you even respond to these types of remarks? BUT you're right....when you hear uplifting words like "God created you to mother sons....or you are going to have SO much fun laughing for years and years to come..." it just goes a long way.JMillerFamhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/10241943733537392871noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-2585836611455036726.post-55587078003325184312012-01-24T19:03:41.392-05:002012-01-24T19:03:41.392-05:00Yup, yup, yup, I needed this today!
