I'm watching a show on a family with 18 children (not the TLC show) and I wonder how you all would like living in a family with 17 other children. Or maybe you did? If so, how did you like it?
I for one don't think I would like it. I only have two brothers and most of my life I wanted nothing to do with them. Not that I don't like them, but we never had common interests and I just wanted to do things alone. When I was younger I couldn't wait to have my own room, so I don't think I would have liked sharing my room with 5+ other people. And I don't like babies/toddlers. Actually I don't mind them in short doses, but I don't like when they cry and I don't like constantly having to watch them. Some might say maybe if I was raised in a large family I might feel differently, but I don't think I would. I think it has to do with AS and not feeling comfortable around large groups of people, family included. A lot of them also makes the girls cook and clean and wear dresses. While I don't mind cleaning (sometimes) I HATE cooking and would rather burn my dresses than wear them. When I was younger my mother wanted me to be a "girly girl" and dressed me in dresses almost everyday from the time I was born until I was about 5 or 6. For my first 2 years of life I don't think I wore anything EXCEPT dresses. Guess what? I still hate 'em.
Sorry if this sounds mean, but it's the truth.
