Not only have most of them moved to Georgia, they are just not babies anymore. I feel so silly writing this because I still honestly think of my nieces and nephews as babies. I have 11 of them and the third one just graduated from High School in June. She started the ball rolling. After her, one will graduate every year unitl they are all grown.
Now my great-nephew is only two. So he has a while yet before he betrays me by growing up and leaving home. Hopefully, I will be well into motherhood before that happens. How did/do you deal with the babies in your family growing up?

I am learning that they grow fast. Like my niece she was just a new born born on September 18,2002 and this August she starts school. It seems so werid how fast they grow. 11 ia a lot of nieces and nephews. I just have 2. It seems like i was around my niece since she was a newborn since my sister worked a lot I baby sat her and my nephew also but not as much as my neice Hanna. She tries to act so grown because she has 3 older half sisters. I just hope and pray she doesn't rey to grow up to fast.
I am sorry that most of them have moved to Georgia. I hope that you can still keep in touch with them and that they come to visit you. I understand being upset. I would feel the excact same way if my sister and her husband left with my neice and nephew.

It is pretty rough, but I am learning to take it one day at a time. Actually lived with them for three years total. I helped my sister raise them when her husband lived with another woman for two years. So I really bonded with them. My sister wants me to come out to Georgia and visit them. It may be possible after her husband gets his act together. But right now, I do not see myself going anywhere near him.

I'm a mother and a grandmother so I've experienced the growing up and leaving home quite a few times. It's never easy but everyone has to grow up and then the relationships change...usually for the better. My grown children are more like friends now that I don't have to be mean ole mom anymore and I get to spoil my grandchildren.
