I know we are supposed to be mothers that stay at home, home school and nurture our children. I love when I see other home school families because they usually have at least nine or more children and they clearly have not be corrupted by the public school system. They have a meek spirit, they all have been breast fed and even the babies look so happy because they are with their mother all day long.I have eleven and have been breast feeding for seventeen years straight. I sat on the computer while breasting and earned my bachelors in Christian Counseling online at Liberty University before I came here to BYUI. I have been divorced for three years and our lives feel much more peaceful with out the constant arguing going on all day. I have two LDS friends that are sisters and home school. One has nine children and the other has eight. We love our children and could not imagine not seeing them all day long. I could not fathom letting a stranger/teacher show my children who to read write and do math. Being a mother is a full time ministry and GOD/YAHWEH provides for me everything I need for the eleven children he sent me. If I put my faith in my ex-husband we would all be homeless but my faith is in My Heavenly Husband/Father so we are Blessed and prospered in everything I do. I love and agree with what Spencer W. Kimball wrote " . I am wondering now where I might have been had my parents decided arbitrarily that one or two children would be enough, or that three or four would be all they could support, or that even five would be the limit; for I was the sixth of eleven children. Don’t think you will love the later ones less or have few material things for them. Perhaps like Jacob, you might love the eleventh one most. Young people, have your family, love them, sacrifice for them, teach them righteousness, and you will be blessed and happy all the days of your eternal lives."  We must remember what we are here on this planet to do. I know one day YAHWEH will ask me what I did with the children HE gave me and I know I will hear "Well do my Good and Faithful Servant".
