In traditional families, people live together as a big family. Three even four generations will live together in one family. However, in modern societies, somewhat small families consist of two parents and kids live together. In my family, my mom, my wife, my 3 years old son and I live together. How about you and your family?

Just three. My hubby, my son & me. I hope to have more children someday & to live as a big family with children & grandchildren. I want to be able to help my children take care of their families & be a part of their everyday lives.

My parents both came from big families. My mother has 3 siblings and, my father has 6 siblings. They were both born after the war so life is so difficult for then when they were growing up. When they started a family they just had 2 kids, me and my brother. We did have a good life because we were just two, but I got a bit bored with just one siblings so when I grew up and started my own family I said that I want to have more kids. And I did I have 4 kids, though life is tough for us because were big, but were happy when were together especially on weekends.

Growing up, I lived with my parents and older brother. Most of our family was within a 20 minute drive though. We'd spend all holidays together (even holidays like Memorial Day and Labor Day). Currently, I live with my husband and daughter. We do not live as close to family. It's about a 2 hour drive from my family and a 3 hour flight from my husband's.
