Growing up Can Be Bittersweet
Now, the Perkins sextuplets are almost aged 7, and are nearly ready to start school. For Lauren, this has been something of a bittersweet process. She says she has gone through the ‘normal stages of parenthood,’ and that this has been more intense, as it is happening with six children simultaneously. She notes that it is both exciting and a bit sad to know that her children are getting older, and that the moments she is sharing with them can’t be replicated.
