I have 14 grandchildren. Christmas is expensive but thats the only downside. It’s made up for with hundreds of hugs, and text messages and fun times. ( i had five children so 14 is normal)
With five kids as well, I am nipping at your heels with 11 grandkids!
Parents out there, raise several children if you can with the expectation of and behaviors towards them of expecting them to marry and have children as a matter of course.
