Yes, I had 8 that turnd 18. My hubby and I have a blended family that was raised as one so there are 8 children between the now ages of 45 and 35. We had 6 teens in the house at once and I often said I understood why some animals eat their young. lol We still have one that is 38 that still has some mturing to do but for the most part they are okay. They know we love them unconditionally and they know they can talk to us about anything without judgement even though they know where we morally and spiratually stand ourselves. My family is not perfect but, they are mine and i will keep them.
