Yes, I'm sure mothering quads is insane (I go insane with just two sometimes), but you deserve to do other things too. Without feeling guilty about it. I know that the comment probably wasn't meant to be critical. I'm just talking about our society's views in general. There has to be a balance. I don't know you personally, but I think you're doing fine!Brittanyhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/05536025737135750196noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-85767529877060050032013-03-19T22:08:21.780-05:002013-03-19T22:08:21.780-05:00I'm hoping that she was giving herself a much ...I'm hoping that she was giving herself a much needed break by stopping to read a few blogs. And I hope she doesn't guilt herself for that. Everyone needs a break sometimes!<br /><br />And I'm definitely going to keep writing for my sanity and so my kids know their story. :)Rebecca @ A Beautiful Ruckushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12545305649619190456noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-4581683654214409092013-03-19T22:07:14.021-05:002013-03-19T22:07:14.021-05:00Thanks, Jill!

I blog as well...probably not as often as I should or as I want to but I do so that my family (in a different state) can keep up with what we are up to.<br />It seems as if everyone has an opinion how moms should do things vs being supportive. Whether we have one kid or ten, we are all in the same boat.<br />Take the advice with a grain of salt, be a duck and let it roll off your back, etc. I'm a recent reader of your blog and love it!

And I had to prove it, by showing the date stamps and was like its not possible for me to publish at a certain time like 3:00:00 PM. They didn't realize you could auto schedule it to post and also show up on facebook when it posts. lolThe McCleary Quadrupletshttp://www.mccleary-family.comnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-64474307271079417292013-03-11T21:36:50.532-05:002013-03-11T21:36:50.532-05:00Isn't the scheduling function awesome?

Everyone who has ever taken the time to read your blog knows that you're a dedicated & amazing mother! Those that want to shame & critcize others are theose who are typically jealous & unhappy in their lives! Blogging is a wonderful way to allow your children to look back on the parts of life that they don't remember (because they were too young)& see exactly what happened and what they went thru! Please hold your head high & continue to do what you're doing, the rest of us admire you! :) Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3459178608294921310.post-68786991085137841322013-03-10T22:08:09.912-05:002013-03-10T22:08:09.912-05:00Love your blog....so glad you put the time in for ...Love your blog....so glad you put the time in for us to read itAnonymousnoreply@blogger.com
