I'm actually seeing something similar with my sister. She is currently pg with #6, she home schools and the oldest is 10. I know that my niece does a lot for the younger kids and I personally don't see how my sister can possibly give each of those kids the attention that they need. She started home schooling because my oldest nephew wasn't getting enough attention at public school?? She is so busy running around that she can't keep things straight or take time for herself. She doesn't even remember to call me with ample notification about birthday parties and other milestone functions. Sheesh, she never even told me about my niece's recital. I can't even imagine the chaos in a home with 18 children. Now, my grandma was one of 18, but that was in the early 1900's - times have changed!
