I was watching this documentary about a big family of 12.
The dad, who looked extremely relaxed, explained how he kept it all together. I was at the edge of my seat, waiting for the words that would change my life. Finally, I was gonna find out how to stay relaxed amidst chaos, and kids screaming my name. Then the dad spoke:
