I'm not part of a big family it's just me, my mum and dad.

My mums side of the family his quite big.. One of my aunties has 6 Kids and there all ok with the big family thing well like 4 of them are teenagers i think.

My great great Grandad (on my mums side) had like 7 brothers and siters, my other great great grandad (on my mums side) had like 9 brothers and sisters, My Nanna (on my mums side) had 3 brothers and 1 adopted sister, my grampy (on my mums side) had 5 brothers and sisters.

My great great Grandad (on my dads side) had 4 brothers and sisters, My other great great Grandad (on my dads side) had 6 brothers and sisters, My Grandad had 3 brothers, 1 sister and his twin sister died just after she was born, My Grandma had 7 brothers and sisters and 6 step brothers and sisters

My dad's friend he had 7 Brothers and 1 sister and his sister has 7 Sons which is quite scary.

When I was younger I wanted like 18 Kids but I've changed my mind and i want from 4-8, my boyfriend wants 2 but I'll get my way hopefully and have more than 2 .

My house is crazy, most of them time

It's my mom, my dad, Scott, Jim, Salem, me, Katelynn, (sometimes) Alice and Tara. There are always people over. My aunts and uncles and cousins always come over. We are the party house! There are people always at our house! lol, right now my grandparents and two of my aunts are over

My family isn't that huge!!
There are 3 (me, and 2 boys) of us in my family. My fiance's family there is 5 kids (him, and 4 other girls)

Well baby number 1 is almost here But i really want at least 5 more I'm dying to adopt so if everything goes as planned we will have maybe 2 or 3 more on our own,and adopt at least another 3.

I'm one out of 13. i have 12 younger siblings both my parents had alot of siblings too and my husband one of 8. Im pregnant with 3 and we already have 2 then we are planning on having more of our own and adopting some...

Way we run: STRUCTURE!

When my husband, parents, boys, and 12 younger siblings or whatever the combination may be. My older siblings with watch over a younger kid and they can wander off ONLY if i know where they are and their cell phone is on loud. If there is no older kids and it's my and the younger ones i keep them close by... They know my rule "as long as mommy/sissy can see you we are good! you leave you tell me" And the know what happens if they don't. My older siblings i just freak out on for like 2 seconds cause i'm so paniced and the younger ones have their basic punishments they get at the house... nothing major. So we run off the buddy system.

Then when i was younger my parents always had me keep track... Make sure i could see everyone and do a head count every so often.

Idk my family has just always stayed close to each other, no one really wonders off. Never have. But with big families every thing needs to be stuctured and planned and have some system whether spoken or not, but you just kind of get into the flow of things.

I have 4 kids and would love to have one more. Everyone thinks i am crazy and I honestly think my parents would disown me if I did lol. My kids are 15, 13, 10 from a previous marriage and 7 months with my DH. I would love to have one closer in age to my little Tessa so they could develop a close relationship like my older kids. My older ones adore her and they are an incredible help, but they are growing up and will have their own lives before she's out of elementary school. My house is always busy and full of noise, and I love it. When the 3 older ones were little it could get realy chaotic but I just had to be very structured. Now they help out and they have such amazing personalities. We do sacrifice as a large family and it is much harder to go and do expensive things but we always manage. No one goes without ( except maybe mom but thats my job lol). I just keep looking forward to one day when I am old and we are all around the Christmas tree with all of my kids and grandkids,just thinking about it makes my heart full. I couldn't imagine my life without them.
