How many siblings do you have

No thanks, take me back to the meme zone! I am simply curious. I would like to ask how many siblings you have if you don't mind sharing. Just one, an older sister who isn't living here at the moment. One sister who's two years younger than me. Two Sisters. Also curious, as an only child, what do you value the most out of your siblings? Do you feel a strong bond or have the years kind of winded down that connection?

And this dual experience led me to something I have never even once wavered on: I want a big family.

When we first met, and I told him I wanted a big family Yes, in high school. Slowly over time, he got to know my family and see why having a big family was so important to me. Our game nights and competitive spirit are the highlight of my life. Talk to me again once you have one or two. Or were you an only child? Did you love it or hate it? Do you find yourself wishing for a similar family structure, if you plan on having kids? Or something totally different?

I have 9 siblings from a huge combined family. My dad was married before my mom and had a son, my parents married each other and had me and my brother, and then after they were divorced, they each married someone who already had kids…and then they had more kids!

Oh my gosh!!! Nine sounds SO fun!!! So funny you want 4 too, I have a few other friends from big families who want the same!! When I read this post, I instinctively wanted to respond to your IG post rather than in the blog comments — not sure why! But commenting for the first time cause I saw your IG Story today! I like these kinds of posts! He is one of 3 boys and so I totally get why he wants a small family and I want a large one! We even have our names picked out! Love talking about family dynamics because there are so many different kinds of family structures!

His family has 3 kids and 2 parents so they were thrilled when I joined the fam because it made it even! I totally get the middle-oldest thing! My husband and I are both one of 4. I think 4 is a good number without being too big- we still fit in a minivan! But, there were times when it was a zoo my twin brother and I are 22 months older than my younger brother, and 6 years older than my sister.

I think a lot has to do with how you space your kids out as well. In theory I would love to have a large family, but man, kids are hard! I have three siblings — two sisters and a brother. I love having a big family! All the personalities and craziness yield a lot of fun and love. I have one little sister, my built-in best friend. I guess I was an only child for three years…and she was too, when I went off to college! We are the one and done family. I grew up as an only child and loved being the center of attention not going to lie!

My husband has one brother and they hated each other growing up! They gave each other stitches, kind of childhood. Therefore, when we decided to start a family we knew that we were on the one and done train. I am currently 35 weeks pregnant with our son, so I am soaking up the last few weeks of my only time being pregnant!

Every family is unique and each couple has to decide what is right for them! I LOVE hearing from people who loved being an only child!!! I felt so differently but know so many people who loved it! One is only 4 years older than me and the other is almost 20 years older than me.

It was an interesting dynamic to grow up as an only child and the youngest of 3 at the same time. Thankfully my mom was also pretty close to her sister and her 3 kids so they became my pseudo siblings. I have 1 sibling. A sister who is 6 years older than me. We never really got along until I was older. Like in my 20s. I love the chaos at Christmas and the loud dinners at restaurants.

I met my very best friends in my cousins and so many role models on my aunts and uncles. I want 5! So you go guys!!! I have three kids now, thank G-d, but hope to have a couple more. We view every child as a huge blessing, but I think you also gotta do what you can handle. Hubs and I are both one of 3. Someone is always left out. Two is too few and four seems like a lot. We have 3 now all just under 2 years apart. My parents both come from big familes. My dad was the 2nd youngest of 7 and my mom the youngest of 4.

I definitely want 3 kids so hopefully at least 2 of them will get along haha. My husband is one of two, and he wants to have four or 5! I had a very similar childhood. I had one half brother and so in some ways it felt like I was an only child because he was 15 years older than me.

I have one child but I want four, hands down!! Big families for the win! I have one, just a few months younger than Arlo and I definitely want to have a big family. I love learning about other families! I find birth order and number of siblings SO interesting. I am personally the oldest of two. I am just about 2.

Growing up, I hated it of course because we bickered often, did a lot of the same activities, and had a lot of the same friends. People always told us we would be best friends one day and they were right!

I always wished I came from a bigger family. Our family is pretty quiet and average so I feel like a few more siblings would keep things interesting! My parents had us when they were in their late 30s. Depending on how old I am when I start having kids will probably determine how many I have!

I come from a family of 7 kids, all from my mom and dad! We are all about 2 years apart from each other. Growing up we always fought, but now that we are all in our 20s and 30s we get along so well. Kudos to my momma! Cool topic! I only have one sister who is three years older. Secretly I wish I had more siblings so sometimes I get a little jealous when I see big families.

We had such a fun childhood! Some of us have married, moved, have children of our own and we are still best of friends! My husband came from 7 children. I personally want 3 or 4. We have one right now Thanks for sharing your family with us. I really enjoy following along your journey! My parents had 3 when they were in their early 20s and then my brother and I when my mom was 37 and Like you, I lived for when we all got together. I would love 6 kids but minimum is 4.

In my family, I am the oldest of five. We were a family of three for quite a few years before adding to our family through the miracle of adoption in and This is gonna sound controversial, but I actually think that families with an odd number of children work better? I would LOVE to have a family of five, but the city I live in is very expensive so I may have to cut it back to three, we will see;.

There are ten kids in my family so I have nine siblings and I loved it. We were never bored and there was always someone to be there for you. There are of course times when you just want to be alone, but those rarely last long.

The most difficult part for me is that we are really spread out age wise. My youngest siblings are twelve and thirteen and, now that I live on my own, I only see them once a week which kills me. I am an only child, an only cousin, and only grandkid, everything. I basically grew up with adults and I kind of loved it. Al my friends who have siblings even ones with great relationships seem like they had it a little harder in my opinion. I still felt like I learned all the values such as sharing, being considerate, but I learned them from adults and a lot of days spent at the senior bowling league while I stayed with my grandparents while my mom worked.

And we are pretty certain if we are to have one we would adopt anyways so watching your journey has been super insightful for that! I love my sisters, but for my own family and life, I feel that one is enough.

Yes, it is great to hear your perspective! We are one and done. We thought we wanted 2 but then after our son was born 3. I feel like I get judged too when asked how many we want.

I have 3 siblings, and my husband has a biological sister, an adopted sister, and an adopted cousin-turned-brother. So we always thought we wanted kids, but after our daughter was born almost 2 now we just decided we were happy just having her. Major props to all the moms out there with more than one kid! Because he and I are twelve years apart, and I basically had the entire parenting experience throughout my teens and twenties culminating with my chaperoning his grad night at Disneyland when I was a month shy of 30!

I tell people everyday or…whenever they ask haha that having as many children as you can afford is wonderful. I loved growing up with so many siblings because there was always someone to play with, always someone to talk to, and always someone to stand by your side and defend you.

The more the merrier is my opinion! Until I married my husband who is one of 3 kids.. While I love his family, I am always wishing for the constant chaos of my family as we sit around quietly at his parents. Ironically, we just want kids. A big family would be so rewarding and I do wish we could have kids that grew up in a more than average size family.

I am the 3rd oldest of 10 kids! They were all single births and we are all about 2 years apart there are two 3. Growing up as an older sibling, it was challenging sometimes because I would have some responsibility and help take care of the younger ones. But looking back, I loved it. So our ages are 31, 29, 25, 24, 22, 20, 18, 16, 14, and I love them so much. I was always fascinated my big families and always grew up saying that I wanted 5 boys and 1 girl so that I could have my own little basketball team and a cheerleader.

Plus, if I could choose, I would want the youngest boy and the girl to be twins because I always wish I had a twin brother! It seems like four is the magic number, haha.

He loved me growing up, but I did not feel the same! He had some health problems, and sometimes it felt like he was the only child, which made things pretty tough. Because of that and other things , I spent a lot of time alone and dreaming of what life would be like if I had more people to spend time with.

I also have two older cousins that grew up nearby, and they were and are! This is so me! My goal is four, also! Our family is loud and big and I love it so much. We have a one month old now and I still want more babies!! I have two very good friends that have 5 children each and I loved every second of being with their families!

I hope we can have the same someday. I have two older sisters and they are the light of my life. My world would just not be the same without them. We talk several times a week despite of our living in three different states and I look forward to getting together for summer vacations and Christmas with our whole big family of now ten that we have partners and nieces.

I also grew up in a new england town where most families had 2, and 4 or 5 was considered huge, so I still kind of think that way, even though my mom is one of 3 and my dad one of 6— so I do have a lot of cousins :. I grew up in a huge mixed family my parents had me and my sister and got divorced when i was 4 they both remarried when i was 6.

My mom and my step dad then had 3 more kids and my dad and stepmom had 1 boy and adopted 2 girls and then adopted 3 more boys all together totaling to 10 siblings! It was crazy loud, always crowded even living in a huge house we were always on top of each other and friends everywhere did i mention that the ages are between 27 and 5! The twins are the youngest and just started kindergarten this year!

There is already 6 granddaughters and 1 grandson from this bunch and only 3 Of is have had kids so far! Oh and my husband grew up with just his mom and dad and one brother and thought i was nuts too until he was in my family for just a few months and realized he craved that huge family and was so excited to finally be apart of one!

I come from a crazy mixed family. My dad has nine kids but I grew up in my moms house with my one full sister. So it was much more calm than 9 kids in the house obviously.

But my aunt has 5 kids and growing up with all our cousins was just the best. All the loud and crazy!! Giving your kid a sibling or two or three is pretty special.

I pray my boys stay close and really do think of each other as best friends for the rest of their lives. I love telling people about my siblings and how awesome my parents are and now that the 4 oldest are married and the family is growing is just keeps getting better.

To watch my parents faces when all of us are able to be together is a feeling I will never be able to put into words.
