no but my dad has 8 brothers and 1 sister and my mom had 3 sisters.my moms sisters all had alot of children,one had 7 kids ,another had 4 kids and the other had 6 kids and married someone that had 5 or 6 kid.i do think having a large family is great. when i was a kid my dad would take us to Canada for Christmas and new years to spend it with family and being around
so much family made Christmas and new years very special.it took me meny years to figure out why i love Christmas so much,it had nothing what so ever to do with the holidays really ,it was being with my family plus i always had cousins my age to play with.never a dull moment.

my brother and i share a big home in which we are raising our 7 children(my 3 his 4) ranging form 5yrs old to16yrs old. this may seem unconventional to many but it has worked well for 3 years.its no harder to care for 7 than it was for 3. they all pair off and help each other and my brother and i back each other up.I feel we do a good job of being a healthy family. my dad was the last of 20 children and my mom came from a family of 12 children so big families are not strange to us nor are combined or extended families.My aunt took in my 3 brothers and myself after my mother died.1 of my brothers basically raised another brothers children. families are born of the heart.

I have 6 sons and i think its nice having a large family . Me and my husband share all responsabilities in the care of our children.
I wouldn't have my life any other way i love them all to pieces. My sons are great.

No. My family is C of E not Catholic. I had a brother & a sister, me in the middle and I wished all my years to be an only child.
Mum was from a poor family of five kids, Dad's side had three children including him.
I have only the one son and glad I can provide well enough for him that he won't face the obstacles I did.

My dad came from a family of seven and my mom a family of five, I came from a family of three, and have three myself. My family thinks I am crazy for having three, but I would have loved to have more. Even though they can be a handful at times, kids are the greatest joy you can ever experience!

I've got five kids and a new grandchild and i t's lovely . think it's good to have a big family as long as you take care of them and bring them up properly, i know some parents that you wouldn't let babysit a cat and they sponge off the state and have very unruly kids . so ithink big family's are good but depends on parents

Congrads on such a great family. My wife and I wanted 6 but when she had our youngest, she was told she had to stop because his birth was rough on her female plumbing. We have 4 which is considered a large family these days.
Ours are all at home and I am loving it.

i have two brothers, one older, one younger, its a lovely thing to have, lots of people in the family, at the down points in life, where money is short, then its a bit grim, but ive grown up now, become a father myself, and realise that even tho we have little money to go around now, i still love just having my partner and son around me in our one bed council flat, its small and cosy and i love it, dont get me wrong there is enough space for my baby of two months, but were not too confined and we dont struggle for anything because we have a really good supportive family around us who would never let us go without anything we needed.
So therefore life is great at the moment.
