It's not at all unusual for children to be taking care of their baby brothers and sisters as soon as they are able to walk. The parents spend all of their time working in the fields, hauling water, finding firewood, etc. They are usually very close, loving families and the children have a great sense of responsibility. It's not too different from rural life here in the United States 100 years ago. Tina Tina Manley, ASMP, NPPA http://www.tinamanley.com
