Overwhelmed
A friend of mine asked me to watch three of her children today. I said yes. I now know why I do not have seven kids. Scrape me off the floor, please?

Dont feel so bad, OM at least you dont have to take care of my lil brothers.
ROTFL! The best form of birth control! Every married couple whose thinking about a large family should have to spend a few days babysitting like you did!
haha. we had eight yesterday and nine on shabbos. And the answer to your question is YES....we're crazy.
Wow!
That is a lot of kids. Good luck!
Macaroni and cheese all around!
Are they at least close in age to your own? Sometimes I find when each kid is occupied with a friend it's not as hard as I think.
(Of course I only have two kids to start with but I often have 6 all day on Shabbos.)
the truth is that many people with hoardes of children are very laid back and type-b personalities. they couldn't survive otherwise. i think ultimately it is a character flaw of all of us (and i include myself) who get impatient and flustered and frustrated by children.
i never have a problem watch 7 kids,my wife on the other hand....
my grandparents had 16 kids, and they never had any kind of problem, it is not a serious p[roblem..good luck
