I get slightly annoyed with the whole "I can't control my kids" stuff. My parents raised nine of us, and without ever hitting us all she had to do was look at us and I would jump.

Some children are harder to control than others, though. I guess with nine children you'd see a pretty wide cross-spectrum.

I'm the youngest of three, and my brother and sister were fine, but my parents' position is that I was genuinely impossible to control. Screamed for hours nonstop for no reason. Bit and kicked.

At twenty-four I'm still learning some things people are 'supposed' to have learned in early childhood. It's *extremely* tempting to blame someone, my parents or me, but blaming won't get my teeth brushed or my floor cleared.
