" I am the eldest one of ten and form the age of 11 yrs I was shown how to look after my brothers in a big way. By the time I was 14 and I didn't go to school I had to look after my brother all day, I coocked meals for the whole family on a daily bases, did all the house cleaning, washing clothes, pots, bed, making baby bottles....ect and looked after my 8 brothers, 3 right from new born and 2 of my brothers had HADD it was so incredibly hard and so very lonely. My dad worked all the hours god sent (7am-11am 7 days a week) just to keep food on the table, on the other hand my mother would just cry and cry claiming she just couldn't cope with all the children on her own she would beg me to not go to school but to stay at home to help look after my brothers (school would by her story that I was being bulled), But it wasn't just help her, it was do the lot, she would take the children to school and leave me to it all day she would go to friends house, town, afternoon bingo and so on or just sleep all day, and sometime forget to pick up my brothers from school I would get the phone call at home that the children were still at school I would then have to drag 2/3 babies to school just so I could get them. I had no sympathy for my mother when se would cry A) because I began to hate her AND B) It was her choice to have the children. I starting helping my mother to look after my brothers like I said before from 11 in that time she had 3 more and I was just pasted them to look after as soon as the child was born "it was a boy" and she was incredibly desperate for a girl, and only a girl, so my brother got neglected by her 100% because they weren't what she wanted. In that time from 11 yrs till I ran away from home just before I was 17yr (ran away from home for 2 reason one was couldn't cope any more) I had tried to kill myself 3 times 2 were a cry for help but the last time I just wanted to go leave this horrid life, my mother didn't know I had tried to kill my before but when I tried the 3rd time I was 16, she wasn't even bothered she didn't come to the hospital never even rang the hospital to see how I was and before I was allowed to go back home I had to say I was sorry for trying to kill my self, not why did I do it, she just said "haven't you got something to say before you step back in my house", like what "like your sorry!! ("You what!) so I said it, and never again was it mentioned!! Rising and looking after children is hard when your a woman and there your own children, but when your just a small child and you never even asked for this big responsibility it so much harder, you will not even come close if you even tried to imagine it." Children should not look after Children)"

Doesn't add up either does it - she claims to be 44, but says "I got pregnant with my eldest daughter Elishea, now 26, when I was 19"?

JanH · 16/02/2007 13:46

Oh that's OK, just I hadn't seen you for ages

Hope you are OK (apart from being furious at your mum?)

I'd be tempted to get my revenge by selling my own story to the Mirror if I were you. Your mum sounds like a nasty piece of work.

hugs to you lonelyone xx

You're right, kids shouldn't look after kids, they should just enjoy their childhood.

2nervesleft · 16/02/2007 14:08

Lonelyone - The internet is a wonderful way for you to put the story straight though. I would never had seen that story if you hadn't posted but now I have and I know its all a crock of s**t!

It always gives me a chill when people go on about how much they love babies and keep on having babies. They grow up. They don't stay babies for ever.

I knew a woman who had six kids because she loved babies. She was a crap mother who was absolutely horrible to her kids once they hit about three. It was so sad.

Lonelyone, so sad to read your story
