We have six kiddos, which often causes raised eyebrows and rude questions, "Do you know how what causes that?" Anyway, I know our family of 8 is not the standard norm in America - but I was wondering what size family do you have? How many people live in your home?

I know some people have really big families with several brothers and sisters plus their parents,and I know some people have really small families,like with just mother and father and then one child,I personally have a small family consisting of me,my mother,my father and then a half brother who we do not see very often because he is eleven years older than me and lives far away,and right now,me,my mother,my father,and my fiance are the only ones who live in the house other than two chihuahuas and a cat.

I have one child. There are three of us and three dogs, pretty full house. Congrats to you on such a big family. I always wanted one but it wasn't meant to be.

We have a family of 7 with 5 being kids, I do know that look you are talking about though. I remember going out to dinner and remarks like wow you have 5 kids and my response was yeah I didnt want to be like my grandmother she had 9. It is all about how you balance life and stress, my children are well rounded and complete as adults so therefore hey I did something right lol ... have a great day

Between me and my hubby we have 8 kids. Not all of them live here anymore. It is just 5 kids and me and my hubby. And yes we have gotten the "Do you know what causes that" too. I think having a big family is a good thing.
