we were 12 brothers and sisters. Yet, we never had a bad feeling toward each other. For the last 6 years, I have lost my parents, and 3 brothers. It's an open wound, and feels like if someone pour salt in your wound. I missed my parents, and my 3 brothers!!

I have 2 brothers and 3 sisters. Were for the most part pretty close. Of course, I'm almost 37 now, but growing up, we are all 1 year a part, AND step brothers and sisters in the mix. So imagine having 6 teenagers in the house all at once. I was the oldest of the girls and they would drive me insane following me around, taking my stuff without asking. But now, we depend on each other. We talk often, have great family get togethers. And without family, it can get depressing. They may seem like a pain now, but when you're older, they still may be a pain, but you'll love them.

I guess it would depend on the family. My dad is one of 11 and I've heard many stories about his childhood. There were 6 boys and 5 girls with close to a 20 year age difference between the oldest and youngest. Not all of them are close -- he stays pretty close with his brothers, but barely talks to his sisters -- there's little alliances throughout the group. He said when he was little his mom would tell them to go out and play and not come home until dinner time -- they ran wild. They NEVER took a vacation as a family. His dad modified a school bus and either mom would take some of the girls somewhere or dad would take some of the boys somewhere. He went on camping type trips with his brothers and dad. As they got older they would hide food from one another. If there was a big disagreement between two of the boys, grandpa would get a beer and a chair and tell them to duke it out while he refereed. They're a big Italian family -- Italian's are nuts!

I have 6 sisters and 2 brothers. It can be really stressful at times, and we can get on each others nerves; but since we have all been homeschooled together, we're pretty close. We have four teenagers, including myself, and we basically learn to generally avoid prolonged contact with siblings that we don't get along with.
You get the joys of sharing a room, hand-me-down clothes, and having little brothers and sisters getting into your stuff. You also get to enjoy having little baby sisters and brothers that then grow up in front of your eyes. You learn to deal with kids that are not the same age and/or gender as you.
Overall, it's pretty cool, and I wouldn't want it any different. You guys with small families are missing out!

I have 8 brothers and 2 sisters. We do not all get along all the time but we all stick together. I think that no matter how close you all can be there is always going to be drama. Its a family..lol

From what I have observed, it's no pic-nic. Big families usually cannot afford to go on vacations, they are too busy buying food to feed the many mouths. Closeness depends on the parents, if they are not emotionally sound, they set the kids up for problems.
The big families I know should have been small families given all the problems in them. It's rare to see a big family that is not wanting for the basics, not dealing with big emotional issues, etc.

I grew up being the oldest of six kids (4 girls and 2 boys) We lost one of my sisters to cancer but we have all always been close. Yeah we fight sometimes but we eventually get over it. I now have four daughters of my own (12-6) and they fight but have fun with eachother. Some things to do together is playing board games, watch movies together about big families, take walks together, make scrapbooks together so you can look back when you are older at your lives together.

Oh you destructive element i be responsive to what this is like I dated a guy with a bratty daughter, however the sturdy think of approximately it is that he purely had her on specific days and he or she grew to become into often with the mother. Im specific it is the case with you, if so you will only could desire to talk with him approximately how lots disciplining he would be comfortable with you doing. she will could desire to concepts you only as she minds her own mom or dad. this is a tough difficulty yet you could artwork it out, plus he's youthful and he will advance and develop into used to you and be sturdy to him little ones can sense true love and robust human beings and that i be responsive to you're a remarkable guy or woman and can be a remarkable step mom!!!

I have twelve brothers and sisters. It's very impersonal. These are simply other people who happen to have the same parents. Of course we interrelate, but "family" doesn't really enter into it much. Sorry to be a wet blanket, but you asked. ☺
