Here, when Nana speaks...everyone listens! I have to say I have 8 grandchildren from 5 to 19. They stick together pretty well, take up for the other, rarely an arguement thats gets out of hand. We have one, she's 16 and does get hyper like...she makes coffee nervous! We do have to calm her down and tell her to watch it! I have to speak up and my girls don't mind. One daughter has a good husband but is ill often with diabetis. The other daughter has 4 children and is a single mother. All kids have same dad, they tried but he decided to like little boys and spent 10 yrs in the pen. Now he's not allowed near the kids. So, I've been Mom, Dad, Nana and granpa. Their (my daughters) dad left the family when they were younger...I raised them alone. I have to say we come from a huge family and for the most part it runs pretty smooth. I'm truely blessed compared to many.
