Guest guest Posted June 10, 2004 Report Share Posted June 10, 2004 --- In Multiples-DS , lori king <garrettsmom4@y...> there are days I feel like I'm going CRAZY! I give it all up to you. It takes a very special person to be a mommy of 12. YOU GO GIRL!! > Lori > Lori ... I no longer have THOSE days when I feel like I am going crazy ... I am BEYOND that!!! lol ... Simply just certifiable! Seriously ... they key to a sucessful large family is to organize, organize, organize and plan, plan, plan ... Don't be afraid to ask for help when needed ... (I still have a problem with that ...) and most importantly ... have LOTS of chocolate on hand ... lol ) I have a wonderful nanny/housekeeper that works Mon-Friday she cleans, does laundry, changes bed linens, cares for children, etc. She is all mine from 9-5 ... I can run errands etc when she is here ... or I can just take a few hours for myself ... On Saturdays I have eight hours of respite as well ... Sooo ... I cannot take all of the credit for raising these little ones .. I have alot of help! Oh ... almost forgot ... have to give TONS of credit to my 15 YO son ... he is absolutely the BEST helper!!! He (almost) never complains about helping when needed ... My husband helps when he is not otherwise occupied ... He runs four businesses and we are building a new home ... so he IS CRAZY right now ... lol ... Thanks for the kind words ... but I am no different from everyone else! Just living my dream! hugs, Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
