TEN? Holy cow, girl! My dad was from 9. He was the youngest. I had cousins all over the place, but most were boys. My sister and I were the odd girls in the group!I had my own built in pack, being from a family of ten siblings.
Most people couldn't afford that many kids anymore. I've now raised 3 of my own and one extra, and the wallet is empty...lolYou hardly hear of large families like that nowadays.
Same here,we were never home but never far away and mum would have to drag me home at dusk.Most kids now rarely venture away from their computers.I worry for their future health.Summertime was always spent outdoors.
