[QUOTE="Pink Elephant, post: 734576, member: 21572"] Your mother never had you fetch things for her that she needed when caring for your sibs? Yes, it's sot true, kids are expensive to raise. Families with 4 kids was somewhat rare in our neck of the woods, too. Of course the exception was never hard to find, but most homes where I babysat at had the standard 2-3 kids. My late high school year I had a babysitting job up and across the street from our house. That was for 6 kids, 3 in diapers. The house was dirty and unorganized, clothes, junk, and laundry all over, and the kids were seldom clean or bathed. It wasn't a favourite place of mine to sit at, but she used me faithfully each week, usually on Friday nights, and she always paid me before I left. I recall stripping crib bedding while there, bathing the kids, and washing diapers, to try and pull-together her home while there, but it was futile. Each week I visited, the home reverted back to the same chaotic state. Not a healthy environment. [/QUOTE]
