Savannah Chrisley Says Raising Two Kids Has Affected Her Plans For Parenthood

It’s been more than a year since Savannah’s parents Todd and Julie Chrisley reported to prison and she became a legal guardian for Chloe, 11, and Grayson, 17.

While Savannah has always wanted to be a parent – and she still does – having to step into the parenting role for her brother and niece has made her reconsider her timeline for it.

Savannah Chrisley – Says Raising Two Children Has Made Her Realize The Importance of Bringing A Child Into The World

I guess many of us rush into parenthood without fully calculating the time and cost that goes into raising a child.

Savannah Chrisley used to be among that group, but having to care for the needs of two young people without the help of her parents has firmly opened her eyes to the difficulties of parenting.

The reality star opened up about her changed perspective on parenting during her recent appearance on The Adversity Advantage Podcast.

“I always used to say I will have however many kids God will allow. That was my viewpoint,” she began. “I don’t know, I think when you’re young you think kids are easy, right? No.”

“After having Chloe and Grayson, if anything, it slowed my timeline down on things,” she said. “But I always said God meant for me to be a mom. If I don’t do anything right with my life, that’s going to be the one thing that I do right.”

Noting how her experiences have led her to see things differently, she added, “It’s definitely opened my eyes to how important bringing a child into this world is and how when we’re gone, what we leave behind are children. So, how we raise them and how we love them and guide them, it matters.”

“I think, if anything, it’s just made me realize that when that time does come for me to have kids, every little decision matters and impacts your child,” she concluded.

This is not the first time that Savannah has opened up about being a “bonus parent” to Grayson and Chloe.

Savannah Chrisley – Says She Can’t Replace Grayson And Chloe’s Parents

In July last year, Savannah shared an insight into what it’s like to parent Grayson and Chloe.

“I’m not their mom. I’m not their dad. I’m their sister and I get to love and guide them through life. Being a bonus parent is TOUGH…no one could ever add up to their parents,” she wrote.

“But these kiddos have shown me so much love, patience, grace, understanding, and appreciation! Helping to raise these two kiddos is the hardest but most rewarding job I will ever have,” the television personality added.
