He had to so that we could survive. This meant that I was with the little one pretty much all the time. One afternoon my teenage brother was home from school and I needed to run to the store. I pretty much begged him to come over and stay with the kids for a few minutes as I just needed some formula. When he came over most of the kids were sleeping so it was an easy job. When I got to the store they were out of the formula that I needed and it took what seemed like forever to get them to score some from the back stock room. Instead of being gone 15 minutes it was more like 45. I knew it was a big deal because the kids would be up by the time I got home. I hurried through the check out and headed home. What I found when I got there was like something out of a movie. My brother had all the kids on the patio (it was closed it) with the glass sliding door shut. He was on one side in tears and they were all on the other….screaming and crying! He cried out to me “I can still see them!” It was so funny and so sad all at one time! Before he went home he left me with some parting words. He told me that babysitting for me was the best form of abstinence training on the planet!
