I only have one and she nearly does my head in! Haha. She's super intense, energetic and makes noise CONSTANTLY. I'm an introvert, she's an extrovert. Hubby is... I don't know. He's very talkative but also pretty much hates people. Hubby tested PG in high school, and I hit the ceiling so we'll never know, but neither of us has done anything exceptional nor academic with our lives. And I've been a stay at home mum since I was pregnant with DD5. I used to think I'd like a big family, and I could just watch all my kids play and sit back and observe the chaos, but that was before I realised that as the mum I don't get to observe anything, I am expected to be at the centre of it and involved in it. And my calm, quiet, introverted mind doesn't deal with that well. So yeah, big props to you for managing seven. Seven!!!! I can't even wrap my head around that. Haha.
