My issue comes with getting the chance to stay asleep. My wife and I have 7 kids, and along about the second child we made an agreement. As long as the baby is in our room, she will get up with him or her. But once they are out of our room, they are my responsibility. This normally works out in my favor, because babies tend to need more attention that do older children. However, I have discovered a failing in this system any time one of the children gets sick. They share rooms which means they pass it to their sibling, long before we can figure out they are sick and move them to another room. By that time they are primed to pass it along. Well you get the pattern. I need more sleep! Jeff Kevin,
