The more the merrier?

WE are 8 living in our home. The more the merrier? Depends on who you will live with. But we can have some more. Especially kids. We only have one kid in the house. And I really enjoy it when there are visitors who brings with them their kids.

WE are five in the family, me, two siblings, two parents. I can say that we are happy inside a small roof we have. I don't want anyone to be living with us even they are relatives. WE are contented to live there as we have so many pets. We are cruel inside our small house and happy as well. We survived in a day, we eat three times a day and we buy goods when we have money. We budget and save too. If a certain family have a number of kids similar to Cheaper by the Dozen, they have to have a very big house and a very stable income. You are a useless parent if you will have a larger children when you know you have no jobs and your home is very small. On the other hand, having a big family is happy, as there are many people inside home but some will never have the peace of mind.

right now...we are four in the family but come october 2010, there's going to be another one. I'm 7 months pregnant..3rd child. The more the merrier is true if you have the money to support the needs of your family. But if money is scarce, I don't think that's a good idea. It'll will a toll on the bread winner of the family.

The more the angrier in my opinion, I felt like I was in heaven when I moved out about a year ago. In my family home there was me, my mam, my dad and my sister. Everyone always wanted the bathroom at the same time, everyone wanted to watch a certain TV at the same time and it was stressful. Living by myself was a lot better. Currently, my boyfriend is staying with me over the summer, which is quite nice as it means the burden of house work can be shared and it is not all down to me.

we are not a big family !!! but when my relatives come in festivals we enjoy very much but i think it wouldn't be that good if all are present in single roof daily!!!

I have 17 people living in my house. The worst part is that we have a really small house and we can't get food. I want to get food stamps but unfortunately I am too lazy to apply for it. Can someone give me advice on how to not be such a pig? seriously I really want to change my ways but life is so hard having 17 people living under your house at one time. Only 1 of my sons has a job pushing pooh around in a wheel barrel all day long. He loves his job so I say more power to him personally.

I belong to a large family (ten)..I could not say it is merrier since i never had the chance to live with them as i moved in to my aunt when i was still young (not legally adopted)..But in my preference I don't like to raise a big family (more than 5) even if i will become a millionaire or a king..the reason is that i firmly believe parenthood is not all about providing them with every material thing they need, they require attention and guidance of possible a very close relation and monitoring to every member of the family and this can be difficult if you will raise a dozen kids.. If you watched the film cheaper by a dozen, the movie perfectly illustrate how a big family is chaotic..yes its fun..but when we become realistic and think of the responsibility including our personal happiness and dreams a big family will be a difficult task to complete..

There are four of us, myself, my husband and his parents. We are living here until we can save up enough to buy our own place, hence the online part, lol. Well We're financially stable as two individual couples. My husband and I can both pay for what we need but right not we are just getting by and not going anywhere. I'm trying to earn to save up for our own place, and we've got plans and stuff to keep a good budget.

My husband and I have 4 kids, so, our house is pretty full. I think that there are just the right number of us in my family. My husband and I are able to make ends meet, sometimes its harder than other times, but I wouldn't change my family, or the size of it for anything.

I have 13 people under my roof. 6 immediate family members, that is my wife and our 4 beautiful children, then I have 7 others with me and the numbers seems to increase everyday. It is very burdensome for me financial and logistically, but it is my culture to care for my people and I am obliged to do that. If I don't then I will have poor public relations rating in my soceity, what a cultural obligation. Tough, isn't it?
