We have eight brothers and five sisters plus adopted a baby boy. Can you imagine how we are very crowded.
But we are happy in everyday. Sometimes fighting but everything keep doing good before another day starts.
That's how we are in our home. How about you?

Oh, it is a very big number. I hope your family is so wealthy to take care of all the people. A normal family can't go for it. My grandfather has 10 children, but my dad has only three kids, and it will reduce when it comes to my generation. A big family has its own advantages, but at the same time there are lots of people in the earth which the earth can't stand. I love to be in a big family.

It is great to hear that your are living happily in a big family. My father's family is very big and there are lots of problems. There are certaing groups. All rich family memebers form a group and they try to irritate and create problems for the poor and middle class groups. It is a mess.

I think there are a lot of children out there who could do with a bit of help. People who have neither of their parents, and are growing up in an unnatural environment such as orphanages. I would prefer to have one child of my own, and adopt the rest - if I could afford a family as large as urs. Even that one child would be enought to prove my biological capabilities to the society, and had that not been an issue, I'd adopt all. :-)

Holy moly, there are actually 14 people living in one house??!! I think my jaw hit the floor lol, this is for real? Or have some moved out? I can't even imagine living with that many people. Is the house big enough for that many people, or are you always severely cramped and have absolutely no space for anything? I live with 3 other people and I cant even imagine living with that many, becuase even now, we barely have enough room for our family!

Wow! that sounds one big happy family. I wonder how your parents managed to do that.LOL! Anyway, it's still nice to hear that one really creates a family. Nowadays, many couples are afraid of having too many children since the cost of raising them are too expensive and they don't have enough time to take care of them specially in countries where time is the most precious, a fast-paced environment. And some opt not to have one.
In my family, I only have a younger sister, our age gap is 19years. Although my parents longed for having more children but it seems that they're not blessed to have more. It took them painful years praying to have another before having my sister. At those times, when i was alone, i thought i all have the advantage (which it was). I all have my parents attention, i don't share anything with someone. However, i realized too, my life is boring. There's no one to play, share my ideas, and specially to argue with LOL!
Having many children is good. Just make sure to can raise them in a well-provided environment with love and care. whew!!
Happy planting, planning and mylotting!!^^;
