Anna Duggar, a former star of the reality TV show 19 Kids and Counting, is a mother four – Mackynzie, Michael, Marcus and Meredith Grace. And even though she has been without the help of her husband, Josh, who has been away at a non-clinical, faith-based rehab facility seeking help for sex addiction, she seems to be handling things just fine. Anna, however, breaks her silence while current rumors surrounding her husband are swirling around – that Josh left his rehab facility under suspicious circumstances.
During an interview published on the Duggar Family Blog, Anna says,
“I remember with Mackynzie, I thought we had so much figured out. And then with Michael, I was like, ‘What can I learn?’ And then with Marcus, it really brought me to my knees. I realized I couldn’t do it on my own and that I needed God’s wisdom to love each one of my children individually.”
She also suggests that mothers need to make time for their children, and invest in their lives,
“Enjoy each moment. I encourage moms to invest in their kids’ lives, even when they are babies. When you have one child, it’s still fairly easy to run around and do things, but try to remember to spend one-on-one time with that child because he or she is going to be the example that your other kids are going to follow.”
Great advice – Motherhood does make you stronger and teaches you patience. There are times when we as mothers break down, leading to getting up stronger and this cycle seems to keep continuing. Anna Duggar’s advice makes you believe that she has motherhood figured out in a very good way, and her interview on parenting advice could serve as a motivation for new mothers.
