Since our sweet boy #4 was born recently, I'm often asked what it's like to have four kids. In all honesty, most of the time being a parent of four doesn't feel that different to me than being a parent in general. But occasionally I run across something that might be unique to the 4+ experience.
You might be a parent of four if...
The size dial on your washing machine is stuck on "super"...and this is not a problem.
You have a filing system for the different sizes of hand-me-down boxes in your attic.
You and your spouse consider going out to dinner with just one child a "date night".
You are excited that your kids have birthdays in the same season so you can make pediatrician appointments in batches.
You get the case discount at Whole Foods -- on milk.
You have ever paid your seven year old to babysit.
You bathe people in pairs.
The guy at the bagel shop doesn't actually know your name, but you've been coming in with a baby for so many years in a row, he just calls you "Momma".
