life around your family never seems boring or dull
it takes a wonderfully long time to hug and kiss everybody
you and your husband laugh, "And to think that when we got married, we wanted only four children!"
you start thinking of yourself as "rich in children"
you are vastly amused at much modern parenting advice, realizing that it is unnecessary, impossible, impractical, or simply silly to try to apply it in a large family setting
