I have always been around children and cared for my own of course. I have had a few babysitting jobs when I was younger, although my own little army has been my greatest task ! I have 5 boys ! Yes, 5 boys. I also had my nephew and help raise him for a few years until my brother, whose a truck driver, decided to let his mom give it a try again. I am guessing it was a bit overwhelming to her. Many ask , how I do it, including her. Especially after becoming single and having no one to just help me. But I managed. I enjoy being a mom. Since I'm more a family oriented person. I like a busy house. The conversations. Eating and laughing together. Yes, even the fights. Everyone of them is so different. I'm more of a best friend and confidant, I believe, Read more more closely than I am just their mom. I even wrestle and play all kind of games with them. I also would play the video games. But I keep them intact as well. I watch over them and protect them. Teach them and talk to them, so they will grow up to be nice and considerate young men. And respectful men one day. I love my boys ! The oldest is 19. Then 12, 8, 3 and 2. Its the smallest that keep me going. Keep me laughing. He's such a little character !
