I had the pleasure of raising someone else's children. 5 of them all under the age of 6 at the time.... including the TWINS!!! I loved those kids with all my heart and they brought me much joy...unfortunately for them they are back with their Mother.... I expect to see them on an episode of "Jerry Springer" before too long Anyway, My Husband and I have made the decision that we will have "Furry Children" instead of "Two Legged" After going through the five. I find furbabies much easier to raise............much, much, much easier. Besides the only difference really is I don't have to buy them a car. I don't have to put them through College. I don't have to , NOt like their friends because I KNOW who they are.....Like real kids, I still have to pick-up after them, they still talk back, and they still get spoiled rotten by Grandama!
