I was adopted & raised by my grandmother, and I seriously don't know how she did it. She had disabilities and with her age, I give her so much credit.
My back and shoulder are bothering me, and trying to get a thrashing toddler in the carseat 3x today has pretty much worn me out. I can't imagine trying to take care of kids with any physical issues or in older age!! Can you imagine raising kids in your 60's by yourself?!
Re: I don't know how my mom did it
Heck no.
While I was cleaning the kitchen yesterday The Drs was on (I think that's the name??) and besides me laughing at how stupid the "Drs" on the show were they had a Mom on there, close to 60, that carried triplets for her daughter and SIL. She said she worked right up until their delivery. OMG.

So true! My parents didn't have plans to adopt, but when my sister was in high school, we found out my cousins were being abused. So, they stepped up and adopted them...I was in college, sister was about to graduate, and my now-brother was starting kindergarten and now-sister was in preschool. You do what you gotta do!
