Sometimes I do, I mean people that I don't even know, like when I am at the supermarket, they look like OMG she has all those kids, and I guess they are also looking at me because I am young 31, so they might be thinking is she married or what. It used to upset me a lot, but I am much better now, I just take people remarks and turn them around for good

Btw-your boys are so adorable!!
