I didn't start off as coming from a large family but over the years it has really expaned . When I was younger I had one sister that was yonger then myself . As I got older (in my teens ) , I found out I had two half brothers from my dad . Then a little later in my teens my mom and dad divorced and my dad remarried giving me two step sister and a step brother . Now that I have started my own family we have five children so there are seven of us in the household . We are too young for grandchildren just yet but that will be an exciting thing for me when I do get grandchildren .

I'm from a family of 6 children, 3 girls,3 boys( no voting ever took place as girls stuck with girls, boys with boys lol) My partner is from a family of 8 children. We have 3 children, grandchildren are a good bit off for us. Most familys here 2 children now, How many children would people from the US have in a family?

I have an extremely large external family. I probably have a 100 cousins or so. I have two sisters and one brother. I have 7 uncles on each side. And two aunts on each side as well. We're pretty large. We have four sets of twins in our family. And we're a set of triplets lol. So yeah, I come from a pretty large family.

I do come from a large family. I have 3 siblings. However, that is not the big part...I have tons of aunts and uncles on both sides, and I cannot even begin to count them all. Then, I have tons and tons of cousins. My hubby, has 5 siblings, who almost all have children, and tons and tons of aunts and uncles, I believe even more than I do...and so forth. Just yesterday, he and his sister were talking about growing up in a big family. :)

I come from a very small family, just me and my sister, lol. We also have two half brothers, but we weren't raised with them and have only seen them a few times, so most times I don't even think of them as family. I have three children of my own though and my sister has 5, lol...so my mother has lots of grandchildren and hopefully she'll have lots of great grandchildren too! lol

I have two brothers, an elder one and a little one; my elder brother has got three wonderful twins...my father has two brothers and two sisters and my mother two brothers...I would say we are a common family...nor big neither small...yours sound like a very big family, instead...are you a close family? I love my brothers very much and my brothers and my parents are very close to each others and try to be the ones to rely on each time you need...we like spending Christmas and Easter together and we make a point of sharing a bit of time together as soon as we can ...it is important because we like being a family...and my little nephews are all what I could desire...they're fantastic

I would love to be able to spend more time with my siblings and their families. We all have lives to live, bills to pay and time is short. We do get together a couple times a year for a cookout or holiday. I am closest to my sister Michelle. I consider her to be my best friend.

I am basically a small family gal. I am the holdest of 3 children. My Mom was the 2nd youngest of 9, and my stepdad was the youngest of 13!! I just had one child and she has two great little boys... the apples of my eye. They are 10 and 6 :) great kids :).' They are pretty lucky boys- they have 4 Grandma's, 4 great Grandma's 4 Grandpa's - no great Grandpa's and they spend time with all of us often. We all get together at Holidays and Birthdays. Ex's included, we all get along very well. It's so nice to be able to share in the kids activities without worrying about if so and so is going to be there blah blah blah,.. that is so ridiculous! Hmmm I see a topic here,.. gotta go

My mom was one of 9 sisters. I am 4th of 5 children. I have had 7 children. So far I have 2 grandchildren by my daughter. My father had 2 siblings, and one half-sister, so he came from a smaller family. He and each of his 2 siblings each had 5 children though. When we all get together for holidays we have a very large crowd with my grandmother, parents, their children and all of their grandchildren and great grandchildren.
