In reply to the discussion: I was born in '56 [View all]Buckeye_Democrat
(14,846 posts)14. Totally agree about birth control.
They don't always work, though. My mother had birth-control nicknames for the "accidents" among my siblings and me. I was the pill-baby.

I have a sister who is 21 years older than me.
