we're a small family, my father, mother, 5 brothers, a sister, me, and a younger brother :) raising kids back then wasn't as hard as today, as my parents would say. maybe because there's not much competition before that's why making a living is easier, and getting food, you can just plant them if you prefer. and not much extra expenditures like the cellphone load or skyrocketing electricity bill for the computer,aircon,appliances :)

In my family there's my mom and dad who are divorced, and then I have 7 older brothers and sisters, and then there's me. Although my brothers and sisters with the excpetion of my only full brother, and my half sister from my dad are all a lot older than me. My mom has 7 kids, and my dad has 3. I only have one full sibling, but I grew up around the others. So I don't consider them half.

having so many people in a family is very difficult I dont about the economic conditions in your country but coming to our economic conditions it is difficult to survive in a same family in our country ,here hardly five lives in a family.......

In my family we are all ten. I have 7 sisters. Too many but it is fun. When we were little we used to fight. But now that we are all big we talk a lot and share each others blessings. Having too much children is okay if the parents can afford to provide thier childrens' needs.

Hi, there are 5 children in my family, 3 girls and 2 boys. Growing up with that many of us was tough at times, but now that we are all older it makes get-togethers and Holidays so much better with a big family.
