I am having one of those Saturdays. Consider this a “Cash Cab Shout Out” to the following question:
Now exactly why did we have all these kids?
This feeling does remind me of a great song from the ’80s

I thought it was a “cash cow”. You know, like the calf they tape money to at the rodeo and all the little kids chase it to try to get money….
I know that’s not the real etymology of cash cow. Didn’t it have something to do with Jack and the Beanstalk? 😉
I know I already replied but here I am again. I thought I should actually answer the question: You played. Our advice to Yong newly weds is “Play now, pay later.” Works with credit also.
Answer: to make us better people. Some people only need a couple of kids to make them decent people. Apparently, I need like 8 before I even approach average goodness.
When I was little, my mom’s Visiting Teacher gave her some advice. The advice was for my mom to say, out loud, “Children are a joy and a blessing,” whenever she felt frustrated, overwhelmed, etc. And then to repeat it.. Repeat it until she believed it. Sometimes that took longer than others. 😉 And when it took longer, that’s when we knew we were really in trouble! lol
Having a bad day MMM?
I keep asking myself the same question this week.
Because when a woman says to a man, “give me your seed” it is only a matter of time until she gets what she wants. Also, first commandment and children are an heritage to the Lord jazz but mostly the first part.
How do I not remember a song from the 80’s?
Our question is very similar: How did we end up with 6 teenagers at once? The song is fitting in our situation as well.
Good luck. Parenting. The most rewarding and frustrating job in the world.
