Boy they spread your grandchildren out if you have 2 greats! And you haven't

found any boys yet? My 3 boys all had girls and we never thought we would have

a boy. Then my daughter had a boy. That made my sons mad! We did finally get

a step-G-son but we only have one boy and he doesn't carry the family name

because my daughter took her husband's name.

I am proud of mine to Eileen. No greats yet thought.

Boys are the ones that determine the sex of a baby. I heard a very ugly

remark about it when I has young. Something on the gist of the men having too

much of a good thing, and in turn removing the sex of male from boys. Terrible!

I heard it because I had three girls first, before having a boy. Then of

course I had another girl and another boy. Six children.

I have 14 grandchildren, 15 counting the little one that died. I have 6

great grandchildren.

Don has 7 grandchildren, and 6 great granchildren.

Counting 21 grandchildren together Yet, I always count the deceased baby out

of respect to the parents which make 22 grandchildren, and 12 great

grandchildren.

I can hardly keep up anymore.

Imogene,

You really have a bunch there!! Never lonely if they all show up. You must

have really started early! You don't have many years on me, if any.

There must be all sort of myths out there, because I heard it was Mothers fault!

Guess both were there while it was happening! LOL

Donna, I was 19 1/2 when my first was born. 20 1/2 with the second, 21 1/2

with the third and so on, until all six were here. They were all born in six

and a half years. I ran a nursery with them, with a house full of love. They

were so much joy. I certainly learned to organize in a big way. I worked when

the chilren were older, but I also squeezed in some college.

No one has led a more active life. Now it's time to rest, but my beloved

husband has LBD. I am glad I can still care for him, though.

You can see my children when they were young on the photo site.

I was very strong, and thin. Sometimes it was difficult to get to the

hospital on time

my babies came so fast. I was built to have babies. Large hips. But, don't

kid yourself it was hard. It was my husband's idea, to have six very fast, but

after I gave him what he wanted I did something about it. I said, " no more. "

Four girls and two boys.

OH, and Donna, My MIL said there was no way I could love that many. Little

did she know that love knows no bounds. Also, I was very active, and

organized. I have a wonderful family.

My MIL always wanted only the oldest daughter to visit. I saw what was

happening

and told her to have the children take turns to visit. She couldn't seem to

handle it, but she had love. Just a different way of showing it, I guess.

But, I learned to love her very much. She was a second mother to me. Her son

had

big problems with having a lack of love.

That part is very true. At one time we lived on a farm. It had an out house,

water only in a spring that I had to haul up the hill by cranking up a

bucket with a rope. I had a washer with a wringer, and hung my clothes out to

dry.

I took care of seven goats, a cow to milk, and three pigs. At that time I

had three babies and the fourth was on the way.

He wanted to have a large family so that he could be a patriarch. It didn't

work.

I would have the washer going in the kitchen, and my arms up to my elbows

doing a pile of dirty dishes. I would hear a holler from the living room,

" Imogene fix me a

sandwich. " Or, " Imogene come in here and take care of this baby, she's wet. "

He hated to be hugged or kissed. Just scolding and hollered at. Can you

guess why I eventually divorced him? And, why I am so thankful for the

wonderful

man I have had now for 36 years?
