[quote=Anonymous]7 children, 4 girls, three boys. I am 3rd from oldest.   Dysfunctional alcoholic home. Free range/neglectful home. Only reason anyone survived was due to a wonderful loving Mother. Father drinking all the time. He drank his weekly salary so not enough food, clothing for anyone. Two siblings have passed away and and have nice relationship with two sisters, none with brothers.
 I was a survivor, and now have a nice life with wonderful husband and three children who are close. I would not wish most parts of my childhood on anyone. Lucky I made it out. I had wonderful grandparents and a wonderful great aunt. I had no idea what a normal family was like until I babysat as a teen for many wonderful families. Lucky for me. I bought all my own clothes from 4th grade on and helped younger siblings as much as I could. 
When I look back over my childhood, I feel sad for what I went through, but it was what it was. Today, beautiful for me, my siblings are mostly ok. Never, never would I suggest anyone to have a big family.[/quote]
