Being in a slightly large family, with 3 much older siblings, and a bunch of much older half-sisters, then being raised with my older nephews and nieces, and helping raise the younger ones, add working in a daycare on top of that, and you could say children have surrounded me since day 1. Because of the age gap between my siblings and I, I've usually been treated like a (rebelling teen) child. Since being in the younger generation of my family, I have become best friends with most of my nephews and nieces and we rarely argue.
Though, one summer with 5 out of 10 of my nephews from Michigan brought the worst out of me. All growing boys, 2-3 years apart constantly arguing and fighting and being boys, made me scarred and drove me out of my mind. I decided I'll have 1 child at the most.
Though, it completely changed when I got to be with the boys again. It's like... I knew their personalities and how they butt heads, and realized, that the more they fought, the more I realized how close they were, that they could be honest with each other, and when the going would get tough, they'd stick together and help each other through anything.
