I married when I was 19 because of pregnancy(now I'm 28).My husband works all day and I stay at home with the children.I haven't got any other work to do(we have a maid for the cleaning and cooking) so we make kids,but already they are too many - 3 girls and 4 boys.The girls share one room and the boys share another.They all complain for not having enough place.The girls' ages r 8,5,5 and the boys are 7,4,2 and a newborn baby.It's not the only problem.The other problem is I haven't got anyone to leave the kids to when I go out with friends,so I usually leave them alone,but I feel it's not right.Give me some advice about the place(not enough).

Don't worry.It's not a big deal if you leave alone the kids for some time.They wot'n die:)))About the space - move to a bigger house and let every of the children have their own rooms.They will need it when become teenagers.Get someone to care of the newborn baby because he is too little,but don't worry about the other kids - they'll be ok.Or get the baby at your work in the day-care or something.

No, you're kids are still too young to be left alone. By 10 years old a child can be left home for up to 15 minutes. By 12 they can be left home for longer periods of time. A 5, 4, and 2 year old are also WAY too much work for the 7 and 8 year old to handle. Your kids still need to be supervised by an adult 24/7.
You're lucky to have a maid to help you out. That's an expensive luxury that a lot of people cannot afford.
I think you're question is: What do you do what you do not have enough space?
Perhaps you need to move to a bigger place. Even if it is expensive, with that many kids, you'll need more room for your family.

Let me get this straight, you go out and leave an 8 year old to care for the siblings including a newborn. You should be reported to child protective services, hopefully Yahoo will do that when they screen the questions, or hopefully someone will report you, this is just so sad, when something then happens to the children, the parents then go on TV and cry and reach out for sympathy. I guess this is just another lot of "abused" children being raised by "abusive" parents.

You leave a two year old alone? You should be ashamed of yourself. They didnt ask to come into this world. I'm sorry you were so bored, you went on your back, but please!
If you can hire a maid, you can hire a baby sitter.
And if you can't afford a baby sitter, fire the maid, do chores, and have a decent in home care giver for your kids.

first get your tubes tied.
second. ask two teenagers to come over and watch the kids so that you can spend some time together outside the house. don't you have any teenagers in the area that are trustworthy? go to a babysitting website, this will help you find teens that want to babysit and ear a little money, give them a good amount for each kid and a bit more for the little one. good luck. ask on this website, if there are any teens in your area that want to earn extra money. there are lots of people on this site from everywhere.
next. try and find a house outside the city, your husband will have to commute further, but bigger houses are cheaper further from the city. you are going to drive yourself insane. this will give you more to work with. either that or get some land and build a house.

You need to find a bigger home and if you have a maid why don't you ask her to babysit once in a while because it is not safe to leave young children at home alone. Someone will report you to children services and you could lose all you kids. Think about that. What is more important?

If you are serious, you need to wake up! You have 7 kids....you do not need to be taking off with friends. An 8 year old is not old enough to be doing your job of taking care of her siblings. Seriously, in some states, you could get arrested for that. Unless you and your husband can afford a new place, there't not much you can do. You've got your hands full.

Get yourself a better story for starters as no one is going to buy this lame one. It is sad that you are such an attention junkie that you feel the need to post an outrageous story just to get noticed by people. I feel sorry for you; you need professional help.
