I come from a very big family, 9. Catholic and careless?
I would say that it was too much. I think that my parents also had the sentiment that all we needed was one another but that wasn't really right. I don't think it was entirely healthy. I think they did it to keep control over us and keep us out of trouble. A good plan? Maybe.
I have three kids. I have tried to make sure that I don't get so involved with one of them that the others get left behind.
