Fun During Holidays
They may not have it easy, but Natalie Suleman’s family is happy and she instills positive values in her children, such as being content with just one Christmas gift. “I’m focusing on raising the kids to focus on serving other people, to get out of their own head,” she told US Weekly. Natalie firmly believes that by doing so, she is teaching her children the value of being grateful for what they have and not expecting anything in return for their efforts. In addition to these problems, Natalie’s financial situation prevents her from enjoying a luxurious holiday lifestyle, so she keeps things simple.
School
As a mother of 8 children, Natalie must be feeling a lot of pressure. When you’re a parent of just one or two kids, the first week of school can be a real challenge. The 43-year-old mother posted a photo of her octuplets smiling for the camera just before they left for school to express their concerns. “Any other parents exceptionally stressed and overwhelmed by the first week back to school?” Natalie captioned the photo. Natalie made light of the fact that, despite her pleadings, her older children refused to have their portraits taken.
