Lets all get to know each other a bit better in alot:)

12 children and 3 grandsons allready? You have my respect, take good care of them!

I am a 44 year old woman, on my second marriage with two daughters (10 and 13). And I'm from Canada, eh?

You are a lucky lady. I am 37 and have 2 kids. I am from Sri Lanka (do you know where it is?) Its a small and beautiful island. I like country life too but we have to be in the city cos our work and kids' schools. We have a very busy life.

Sandy I am not sure what is happening here, but thought that I had previously responded to this discussion. For some reason I cannot bring up any responses though. You know that I am married and we will be celebrating 36 years of married life next week. We have one son, and he returned home yesterday after his latest wanders, but will only be home for about 6 months this time till he is off again. DRAT Still we will make the most of the time that he is here with us, so no holidays for us till he goes away again. We are retired and have a bit of a nomadic lifestyle, seeing this wonderful country of ours, Australia, as well as catching up with friends on our travels. :)

12 kids and 3 grandsons..all i can say is, WOW! You must be very good with management. i can't imagine raising 12 kids at a time. I have 4 ( 3 boys and 1 girl and they drive me crazy. Don't get me wrong though because they are the source of my happiness and joy!). I'm sure you must have married a good guy to be able to keep up with all the things upbringing your kids. i'm 35 (see my profile http://www.mylot.com/em12ma and i decided to temporarily give-up my career in architecture to stay home and raise good-smart kids.

I am 42 and I live with my boyfriend in New York USA. We have been together for 7 years, but he doesn't want to get married. I have a son who is 21 and he has 2 sons of his own ages 3 and 6 months. I have many cats,13 to be exact and 4 dogs. They are a lot of work but I really love animals.
