I myself came from a big family. 10 siblings all living. Yep and love being in a big family
My dad use to say "cheaper by the dozen." Of course there are ups and downs like when my mom tries to call anyone of us she would mention all the names before ever she says the right.name.
Since I am the youngest I feel the favor was on me all the time. The rest of the family never really cared in fact I had all the love coz I was so tiny and I.loved It
Do you also come from a big family? Was the favor on.you?

I think I am. They all adore me more. As I was always weak when I was a kid. Your discussion makes me think of my dear grandma, as there are six granddaughters and two grandsons all together, she would mention all the names before she says the right name. Just like your mum.

I have one brother. I also have 3 daughters, 3 sons-in-law and 7 grandchildren. When we all get together it is a full house for sure. I only had the one brother so there was plenty of attention to go around. As for my girls, I have the same problem as your mother. I have to go through my short list to get to the right name.

By the way @epiffanie about the eucalyptus trees it is located in the deepest forest of Lantapan Bukidnon. You need to get permit from DENR or the tribal head of that area and no roads there. Walking through the forest is the best way and I don't think you would want that. So sorry. It is everywhere in the forest. It's called Bagras. Another name for the eucalyptus trees

@Peach10 LOL oh my goodness! That would have been funny to hear her go through all the names!
I didn't live with a big family like that. It was just me, mum, dad and two older half brothers.

@Peach10 Glad it didn't really bother any of you. It is funny. Imagine it might be exhausting to go through everyone's names until the right one is said though lol

Small family for me. My parents thought they could not have children so they adopted me. Then, 4 years later they had a baby girl of their own, so I grew up with a little sister.

I come from a family of 4. I would say the love and affection was evenly spread out among my parents. That is a lot of names to remember
