How many siblings do you have? - 09/13/21 09:01 PM

Two younger sisters for me and another that passed away when I was 8. The farmer I help tells of back in the late sixties there were 4 families that lived on 1 section. Pretty common in those days to have a family on each 160 acres. That 1 section had 42 kids on it, with 1 family only having 2 kids. Good Catholics and very strong German heritage.

Two brothers and one sister. Only two of us left, the oldest and youngest that happens to be me. I came along 13 years behind the youngest of the other three.

Three brothers. I'm the oldest.

My parents' second son is a successful, highly respected aerospace engineer who makes a good living teaching seminars to other aero-engineers.

Son #4 is a soon-to-be-fired (thanks, Biden) fisheries biologist for the feds, who refuses the vaccine.

Son #3 is a leach on society and our parents. Unemployed, along with his eight grade-educated wife, they love the highlife. Collects SS disability. Our parents keep having to pay off their credit card debt.

All sons raised Catholic, but it didn't take with any of us.

One brother five sisters. My older sister died at age 38 of brain cancer.

You'll be interested in hearing about my dad's siblings. There are 11 kids the oldest is 88 the youngest is 63, all living. They are currently in second place in the Guinness book of world records for the most combined years of living siblings. There's a family in Germany has the edge on them, hoping one of them die first.

In my paternal line I'm one of three, dad was one of three, grandad was one of three as was his father. Both my brothers have three as do I. Mother was also one of three. My oldest girls each have three.

My Mom, all 4'11" of her, had 8 boys, but only 4 survived. All 3 of my older brothers have died so I am the last of the line. Thankfully my son has 2 strapping sons that will carry on the line.

Oldest brother passed in 1995, Mother passed in 1996 remaining brother passed in 1996 I held him and mother in my arms when the lord took them home a few months apart. I am close to 59 and all that's left.

2 sisters and 1 brother. I am the oldest at 69. Bet either one of my sisters could skin a mink faster than 99% of the people on here. They each started skinning before they were in kindergarten and did it until out of high school. My younger sister just got her doctorate last year at the age of 63. So much for the oldest being the smartest!!

Re: How many siblings do you have? - 09/14/21 12:08 AM

8 girls and 7 boys in my family and my parents both lived to be in their late 80's. Mother gave birth to my oldest brother when she was 21 and my baby sister when she was 44.They worked hard all their adult lives to provide for us and teach us everything we needed to know to be successful in life. I'm #12 of the 15. We've lost 1 brother and 3 sisters.

Can’t imagine a family of 15, but I bet you had chores and good manners.

Re: How many siblings do you have? - 09/14/21 12:41 AM

One older sister.

My dad is the youngest of 10. We have it figured out that he has at least 15 half brothers and sisters. He actually shares a birthday with one of his half sisters.

Between him and his next 2 older full sisters there is a little under 2 years in age.

My mom is the oldest of 5.

My grandmother was the oldest of 17. Family reunions are very confusing.

0...... After my birth, my mother must have thought that she could not do any better and quit. Or something along those line blush

Re: How many siblings do you have? - 09/14/21 01:29 AM

I am the middle child. Older Brother 6 yrs. sister 3 years, then me, sister 3 years younger, baby sister 6 years. Well timed I guess. Baby sister was an oops.

Now my wife that is interesting: 4 boys 1 year apart, yep all 1 year. # 2 died in a car train crash at 22. then 8 1/2 years gap with miscarriages etc. Then four girls, oldest then my wife 2 years, then 3rd girl 3 years, then the baby girl 2 years later. 8 total.

So I am a people watcher, her family gets together for the holidays, By birth order they hang out together it is the strangest thing. 1's, 3's, 4's, the #2 's who is my wife and the 2nd born brother who died, she would just float around and look to talk to anyone but is kind of the lost child. Ended up with me usually, poor girl.

I was born the morning after my oldest brother graduated from high school. 18 yrs span for the six of us. (My uncle used to claim I was my dad's finest son....strained through and old sock)! Both of my parents were 46 years old when I was hatched.

2 brothers and a sister. My dad comes from a family of seven. 4 boys and 3 girls. My dad is the only one with a mixed sex of kids. All my dads siblings have either all boy or all girls. I had a son and a daughter and it wasn't until my youngest cousin that we another mixed set of children in our family on my dad's side. All of my cousin (23) on dad's side except the one have either all boys or all girls too.
