Oh, my !! I love your upbringing! There is so much love between these lines! I must say that my own parents had nine children too. Six boys and three girls, all in thirteen years. We were like little stairsteps
I love hearing about you and your family. It gives me a different look of you that I wouldn't see on a normal basis. Marriage way back when was forever, wasn't it? My dad was 13 years older than my mom, but it worked wonderfully for them. PS. Mine were strict too, but, I just figured it was because they had so many kids, they needed to keep some form of control or we would run amok.
We had it the best, @deerjay! I loved being from a big family except for the rare occasion where I wished I was an only child!
Most excellent post!!!!!
Awee..thanks so much Denise! Lol..."nine children too". I love to hear that! It was great growing up with lots of siblings...mostly 😉! I agree, that with so many kids they had to be and I think we were better for it. I always say my mom was pregnant for eight years it seems. I don't know how she did it..I had my hands full with just two! ;)
