Tonia:  I can&#39;t even fathom being responsible for 14 kids.  I only have three, but I sometimes feel guilty about dividing my time.  I have a friend who came from a large family, and I asked him once about getting attention from his parents.  He said it was lacking, but brothers and sisters make up for it.  They were spread across the years, though.  That many kids in the same age group will be extremely challenging for that mother. I hadn&#39;t heard obout the father being out of country.  Hope he makes it back soon&#33;
