Well, from my own experience, growing in a family of 9 was not easy. We were financially challenged but we always had food on the table and clothes on our backs--be it hand me downs. It always seemed as though I missed out on a lot because by the time I came along, my mother was tired and my older siblings were basically my caretakers. There is just so many hours in a day and a person can only do so much. again, jmo. |
