what it would be like if you were in a different family? first of all, i love my whole family, the good and the bad and would never ever want to be in another one. but do you ever think about it? this is what prompted this thought. i've heard this story from my mom about when i was born. at the hospital, the nurse brought a baby to my mom, but it wasn't me. she said she laid this baby down on the bed beside her and told the nurse it wasn't her baby. the nurse told her it was. my mom said it wasn't. the nurse insisted, and my mom said she did not have a boy! finally it was straigtened out. my mom was (of course) right! (she said this other baby was also 'ugly' and that i was really cute) i can't even imagine what that would have been like! but i do think what could have been if they had not straightened it out-if my mom hadn't really known, or if the baby the nurse had brought her had looked enough like me that my mom didn't catch it? scary!

Yes all the time, as far as my family whom raised me. I wish I had parents that stayed together, and married. I wish I had an oldest brother or sister that I can talk to. I just wish the other half of my family wasn't so trifling. I have many family members in my family that are as dirty as the sheets!

wow! that is scary! your mom could have brought home a different baby and was a boy hehe
im glad your mom knew she had a girl... i guess parents/moms know that.. they will feel that of course.
i think i will not be able to know too if i was brought up in a different family. i guess i am just thinking of what would my life be if our status is different, not if i was born to another parents. i am happy with my family

Nothing like that has ever happened to me. I come from a family of ten and the thought has crossed my mind if I was a only child how would have things turned out. Would I be the same person (probably not since I would not have so many siblings to fight with and that my parents would have to try and give attention to)and how would my path been walked. What would my field of study have been. I have just wondered about it. I love my family and am happy with the family I was born into.
