Guest guest Posted August 24, 2008 Report Share Posted August 24, 2008 I have raised 13children during my life and had eight at one time.4 were my own and everyone had to pitch in if you were over 2yrs old,even if it was just putting your toys back in the playpen.Once I got to the point were I was single with just my four cause I got tired of working ,cleaning hourse and raising 8 kids while the man of the house sat and watched.I don't like being used as a babysiter and housekeeper and still have to try and support the house.Once I was on my own the kids knew 5people lived in the house and 5 people were going to keep it clean.I am not supperman and learned that if they can make the mess they can clean it unless they are babies.

He can't speak our language, but is more understood than most. He can melt anger with a smile. He can quiet a loud room without speaking.
