I would like to add my two cents in here.... I have been married three times, have children from two marriages and a total of six children in all, two are stepchildren I claim from the first marriage that I raised for therteen years, one stepson is from my last and curent mariage, I have them in ages of 27, 26, 22,16, 13 and 4. Believe me it is very challenging at times, like ball games and such, I love every one of my children, I spoiled them every one also, ask their mothers. Now the 4 year old wears me out as I am 48 now, but she keeps me laughing all the time, and in tears at times like when I think about her growing up and leaving home. But I would not take any amount in the world for any of them. They all drive me crazy at time and if I had any hair left I am sure I would have pulled it out by now. But the look on my 4 yo face this morning when she found the Easter Basket that the Easter Bunny left her makes it all worth while, and I have six grandchildren that I get to see little of but hugs and kisses when I do, Lynn
