Should I have more kids when two is already this hard?
Having a large family. We call this having the full quiver of arrows, as the psalmist says. This is saint-maxing. This is when you have completely given yourself over to God's design for family life. And why do I say this? Because having a lot of kids takes a lot out of you as a man. It is an incredible burden to trust God that he's going to help see you through it, that you're going to make it, that you're going to have the ability and wherewithal to tackle this. When you have one or two kids, people normally cut off because it's so hard. And I'm going to tell you from experience, within the last couple weeks I've had times where literally children were pooping and vomiting all over themselves, multiple children even at the same time. And to go through an ordeal like this, it pushes you to your absolute limit of mental fortitude, to stay calm, to take care, to clean up everyone, to get everyone washed off and back to bed. This is absolute manliness, in service and in action to the people that you love the most and are the most important to you, your wife and your children.
