Forgot to mention. In some rural areas, if you can establish a school with just your children in it, you got too many kids!! LOL!
And those comments about what your mom used to call you? I got called everyone else's name but mine many times. I even got called the dog's name. I told my mother, "Listen Ma. I can understand you calling me my sister's name, my father's name, even my brothers name. But the DOG?? What? You can't even keep it in the same species???!!"
