Mom Mia is still working as a realtor and dad Rozonno owns a carpet cleaning company, but with six 9-1/2-year-olds running around the family's four-bedroom house, it's doubtful that their own carpet is any too clean. All six kids are currently in third grade (as you may recall from Growing Up McGhee, mom made the decision to hold them back a year), and — well, it's somewhat of a struggle making sure that all six of them get their homework done and pitch in with their share of the household chores.
Mia McGhee confessed to Today that it's even more difficult raising school-age kids than tiny babies: "The older age and their awareness makes it difficult... They have their own opinions, personalities and identities." She readily admits that every day "the house is in a frenzy," but says that "the once-had-it-together parents are taking each day one at a time and picking our battles wisely."
Yes, things get pretty crazy — in fact, they've been nothing but crazy for the past decade — but six times the fuss is also six times the love. And as McGhee says of her sometimes-battling offspring: "I love their love for each other. They fight hard but they love even harder. I call it built-in best friends."
