I'm not really even sure what to say. I feel kind of bad about asking for prayers when I don't contribute much here.
Things are pretty tumultuous at home right now. The kids are disrespectful towards each other and us. Some days are ok others are downright awful. It just makes me so sad. It's affecting my marriage and my faith. I have only gone to Mass a handful of times over the last six months or so.
I could ramble on longer but you get the gist.
Thank you.

Praying for you!

We're always happy to pray for your intentions...it doesn't matter how often you visit or how much you contribute.

Praying for you and your family! Don't feel badly about asking for prayers. I don't contribute as much as I'd like to here, but I know I have benefitted from people's prayers.

Praying for you and family. Never feel you can't ask for prayers. No one's keeping score. These lovely ladies are prayer warriors. May the Lord give you peace and joy.

I wanted to say thank you for all of your kind words and prayers.
Please continue to pray for us. 5 children in 5 years has proven to be overwhelming. Ages 5-10 right now. I often feel like I lack the strength and wisdom to parent them the way I should.

We will be driving to the Poconos tomorrow to visit family for Thanksgiving. My husband is out of town right now(he'll be meeting up with us on Thur.) so I will be on my own with them for the long drive.
Please pray for our safe travel.

Sympathy and hugs here , we'll have 6 of our children 6 and under soon, and it IS difficult. Sometimes one feels like you're just treading water, trying to keep your head above water.

Praying for many graces as you travel! That would be so hard alone. Our Lady Help of Christians, please pray for and watch over all that happens in their travels, may there be peace amongst them, may they enjoy the joy of the day they are traveling to celebrate, and enjoy each others' company and may it turn into a fun adventure together.

Praying for you and your beautiful family. Hang in there!
We are here for you. You are busy and doing what you need to, be there for your kids and hubby. Don't ever feel bad coming here to ask for prayers-this is where we can let it all out as the world does not seem to understand the sacrifices we are making for our families.

Dear Grateful, may God and all of His Holy Angels and Saints accompany you and your dear family in your travels and all throughout the coming days! May Jesus and Mary renew your mother's heart, mind and soul!

have a safe trip! Enjoy your extended family! My mom told me often, "This, too, shall pass" and it always did. And it will. I know it doesn't help in the moment, but it does help to know many many other moms have felt the same.

God Bless you and keep you safe on your journey!!

Praying! My dear IRL friend has five children ages seven and under, with one on the way in May! I have observed that the close spacing of children does pose special challenges, but also a special closeness among siblings.

Life with littles is a whirlwind! Cling to the anchor of your faith, this too shall pass.
