Hello Mylotters Family! Good Morning/Afternoon/Evening! I`m here again to share with you about my family and I hope you all don´t mind This spirit of Holidays always reminds me of my BIG FAMILY Oh! Yes mylotters. You read it right! I came from a Big Family That`s why I`m not anymore new to having a lot of different faces, personalities and fun especially on Occassions Why? Well, My big Family especially weekends is like having a party even if it`s not holiday I`m sure you can imagine a big long table but ours was not that big to fit all in a table because our house back then was just a simple one but breathable enough . So, some eats at the living room but still mingles with those who sits at the table Both my parents came from big family too and this was nothing to them but in our time things became different as my siblings have small families now and from there I saw the big difference and that`s having a party everyday How about you mylotters? What kind of family you have? If your family is small, Do you like to have Big? If your family is Big, Do you like to have small? Because for me having Big or Small are all the same as long as the "Love", "Patience" and "Understanding" are always in the hearts of each members will always be fun! Happy mylotting Everyone!

In this side of the family, I'm the only who doesn't have a wife and kid. White my siblings have three or two kids already. Having a family, huge responsibility.

@m_audrey6788 My family is just Mike and me and our 2 cats. To me that is a small family. No I don't believe I would like having a big family. I like calmness and peace.

I have a big family and I am happy and contented with it. It feels so great to enjoy each others company most especially during holidays and in any ocassion :) but small or big it doesn't matter as long as everyone unites with one another :)

Lucky you that you came from a big family. I came from a very small one of three people including two of my parents. God willing Im planning to have a minimum of 4 kids so I can enlarge my family. I already have one.

I have two sisters (no brothers) so I supposed that's quite a small family. I also have two sons. However, I also have two step-daughters, two granddaughters, a very large extended family, and my partner's similar sized extended family! We don't all get together, though. We'd never keep up! There have been family parties where there have been lots of people there, but they only happen every 10-15 years or so! When my sisters and I have all been at my parents', then it might be the three of us plus our partners and children. That's 13 of us. But my mum doesn't like people, so that doesn't happen often either!

From my mother side we have a big family but we are not that close to them. In my father side we have small family and we are a closer to them. We have an average family. We are 6 in the house and I think we are happy in that way

I totally agree with you. As an addition, you heard the saying' "A family that prays together, stays together". Furthermore, "If they hate each other, they will kill each other".

Oh I heard that saying from my parents especially to my late father but the saying "If they hate each other, they will kill each other" is something new to me As we all have different tantrums and personalities in the end still have the heart to love and protect each other

@m_audrey6788 I made that one up. It does not mean to literally kill but in a way like emotions or keeping a distant relationship with them. You get my point.

@m_audrey6788 I find more peace in the small one.Because whenever my in-laws family get together they must have a quarrel on any situation and I`m afraid of quarrel.
