I have 2 brothers and one sister, these are my maternal siblings, I will not go into how many my father has, b/c the count is not really accurate, PaPa was a rolling stone. My father has had 3 wives. My mother is deceased. How many brothers and sister do you have? Are you from a large family?

My father is amusing, he didn't participate in my life much. Your family sounds nice. Thanks for the response.

Oh, Too bad to hear that your father had not been part of your life that much. But I wish he could... Family is still family, and hope he`ll realize that.

Just make sure that when you have your own children,they will have both the dad and mom they need.It is sad that there are fathers who doesnt care so much,maybe their fathers too did the same,so in order to cut the habit...one should be a good father or mother,as my parents did.stay happy.

Just the average family I could say... we`re not large at all. I only have 3 sibling, my sister Dhes, and two little bros Aldrin and Alvin who are no longer little! Hehe. And I love them so much.

i have two older brothers and i also have a half brother from my dads side and he is the oldest out of us all but he lives in Tennessee and haven't seen him since i was a baby.... and that is all... i'm the baby of the family. i would say i have somewhat of a big family i guess in some ways... but not big from brothers and sisters... my parents have been married for over 25 years... and my one brother has two little girls...my half brother also has kids but i am not sure how many or anything about them as he is not around.

I'm from a relatively small family, there's just me and my brother and obviously my parents who are still happily married. i have a really close relationship with my brother, he's only two years older than me and we live close to eachother so we spend a lot of time together, i'd be lost without him!! xxx

That is nice you and your brother is close. Have you ever started a discussions and it make you feel emotional? Just reading about your siblings and you all family life make me sentimental, I didn't have much of family life growing up. My mother passed at an early age.

I am from somewhat of a large family. I am the oldest of five children, all with the same mother and father. It's not common to see people with that many children anymore. I have three brothers and one sister.

Hello Chevee, We are five children in the family, three boys and two girls. I'm in the middle. We're all have his/her own family now. I have three children, two boys and a girl. Our original plan before we got married was to have four children but since life is getting harder, we decided to have three instead. My wife was already ligated since she gave birth to our youngest. They say that the more the merrier, but I believe that it's not applicable nowadays anymore. My wife and I are more than happy and contented of what we have.

I'm not really sure how to answer your question after tonight. It really doesn't matter, I guess for I do have two brothers and a foster brother however one of my brothers is being a real pain in my rear end and we've had a terrible fallen out in which he can't admit where he was wrong and expects me to back down as I have in the past but I will not do it any more. So we're not talking. It'll be our first in all of my 44 years. It has to stop somewhere and now is just as good a time as any.

I have 2 older sisters and thats it but i have a close nit group of friends who i class as family. They are just as important to me as blood otherwise my immediate family is quite small. Mum was adopted and dad left in a childrens home so it's complicated

I have a brother who's about 2 years and a half older than me. My sister is just 13 months older than me and I'm the youngest. My parents got busy there. Heheh. We're a small family compared to my some of my dad's siblings' families. Three of my older uncles had 8-10 kids and the rest had 2-4. I used to be the 42nd and youngest grandchild in my father's family but then my uncle remarried again and had 2 more boys. I'm no longer special!
