Oldest of my mom's, 2nd youngest of all my dad's daughters. There are 6 of us, the oldest is in her 50s and the youngest is 24!

The oldest sister used to babysit us when we were kids and sometimes had her son watch us when she had errands to run

Oldest of three. Lost my little brother 19 years ago. My sister is in Florida telling me how to take care of my mom, who is dying of lung cancer. Be nice if she ever showed up to help out.

5 total 2 older brother then sister, 2 younger sisters.
Wife has 7 interesting family, 4 boys 1.3 yrs apart, then 8 year gap, then 4 girls 1.3 years apart. Funny part is when they get together the 2 oldest get together, the 3rd and 4th all end up together in different parts of the house. My wife is the second and her brother died at 23. She just floats around. Their personalities are all the same as well. Farm family.

I was the ut-oh in my family, 13 years after 2 older brothers and one sister. Only 2 of us left now, the oldest brother just turned 90 and me. Mom and Dad were both in their early 40s when I came along.

When growing up in 1961 just outside of the city. There was 3 families with a large number of children.

Across the road there were 5. Down 2 houses 8. Next house they had 10. On the backside of our house, 4.

We were only a small family of 3. So year round fun and games. Plus a large woods to play in.

Lots of Cowboy and Indian games in about 3-400 acres of woods. Even at night.

My mother gave birth to 15 healthy babies, 7 boys and 8 girls. She was 21 when she had her first and 44 when she had her last. I was the 12th born and actually have a brother that was born the same year,1953, me in January and him in December. I've lost 3 older sisters and 1 younger brother. Mother and Daddy lived to be in their late 80's and were married 67 years when my mother passed. My 2 oldest siblings are 84 and 82 and are starting to slow down a bit. I look back and think of how people thought we were poor but in reality, we were rich beyond our means. I feel so blessed to have so many brothers and sisters and realize that it was one of the greatest gifts our parents could have given us.


I married a moonshiner's daughter and I love her still!

Took six tries for my parents to get it right. I was born the morning after my oldest brother graduated form high school. Another four between us. (Both of my parents were 46 when I was born).


My fear of moving stairs is escalating!

I'm the oldest of three boys born exactly one year and three days apart in order. My dad was one of three boys his dad was one of three (2 boys 1 girl) , his dad was one of three boys and his dad one of three boys. I have three girls and each of my brothers have three (one set of 3 boys and 2 boys 1 girl). My oldest daughters have three each, well one is two and expecting.

Seems three is the magic number with boys predominating until me.

BTW the one year and three days commenced immediately upon my father's return from Vietnam.

My mother in law taught in a country school in the fifties. She taught a family that had 21 kids. There was actually 2 houses on their farm. Mom and dad with the little kids in one house and the older kids in the other house. The parents were flown to the Vatican and met the pope personally. Most of the boys are very successful farmers.

I could not agree more We always had food to eat; clothes to wear and a roof over our head that did not leak.

Absolutely!!! I learned how to milk a cow, slop the hogs and feed chickens at an early age as well as all my brothers and sisters. We all learned how to plant crops and work in a garden. My mother canned half runner beans in 1/2 gallon jars in a wash tub over a wood fire in the front yard. The same tub was used for a rinse tub on wash days and it was the only bathtub I knew until I was 9 or 10......lol We butchered our hogs on Thanksgiving day for as far back as I can remember and processed it ourselves. We were taught everything we needed to know to be successful in life and I must say we all did well for ourselves. I thank God every day for my family, for the simple life we lived and for parents that taught us to love and respect them as well as others.

I have one brother and one sister. Here in the Basque country 40 years ago... 10-12 children were common. Part of the reason so many Basques went to the west of America for work because a Basque farm here could only support one son and his wife/family.

Today in France the Basques have smaller families and the Muslims still have big ones.
