Want to answer more questions in the Relationships category? Maybe give some free advice about: Families? xx_caitlyn_xx answered Thursday June 21 2007, 9:24 pm: I am the youngest of 6. I'm 16 and have one sister who is 17 and 4 brothers. One is 17 one is 19 one is 23 and one is 27.
I loved growing up in a big family but at times it was definetly more then i could take. It was always great to have someone to talk to but there are some times when you just need to be by yourself. And of course it was great to have older brothers when i am dating or having guy problems.
I'm the youngest so im sure i had it the best out of all my siblings but i think they would all agree that it was a blast growing up in a big family. It makes it easier to get away with things too! ;) [ xx_caitlyn_xx's advice column | Ask xx_caitlyn_xx A Question ]

We have family BBQs and parties for everything. My family is really close to eachother and get togethers are tons of fun. I like being an only child so that I can have time to myself but then still have the huge family I can go to for anything. [ Blue503's advice column | Ask Blue503 A Question ]
Moop answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 8:54 pm: my family is kind of massive, but we don't get together enough. I really love them all and I'm always a little sad that we don't get together that much.
my immediate family is currently just me and my parents and I don't like it at all. my older brother doesn't live at home currently, so I not only see him less, but I see my parents more. ideally, I'd like to have a huge immediate family when I get married. I really love young children.
I know a boy who has one older sister and 8 younger sisters and brothers. To me, that'd be ideal and when he's well he enjoys it. Most of the time he struggles with ADD and depression, so life at home is quite difficult for him, especially with his youngest brother being in diapers and the others all demanding his mother's attention. Within his family, though, they have a support system amongst siblings. Jennifer generally takes care of Zack and Katie. Adam's favorite sister is Emma whom he reads stories to at night. He can also turn to Jennifer, his older sister, for advice about things. They're a chaotic family, but they do very well. From an outside perspective, I greatly respect them and I'm kind of jealous.

LittleMissMatress answered Tuesday June 12 2007, 8:40 pm: yes i have a large family, and i love it! on my moms side i have 3 aunts and 3 uncles, 6 cousins, my 2 brothers, my grandmother, grandfather, and 2 great grandmothers. on my father's side i have 4 aunts, 4 uncles, 5 cousins, and a set of grandparents. i am particularly close to my mother's side of the family. i love having all younger cousins. i love to get them gifts and surprise them. it sounds crazy, but i love to hangout with my family. i look forward to weekends at an aunt's house or my grandparent's house. we are always in contact with each other. my grandmothers are amazing, all 3 that i have. i love my brothers so much .. oh heck, i love them all! they're amazing! i look up to my family so much; they are extremly influential. i learn so much from my grandfather just from listening to his stories of his youth. he struggles with cancer, but we all support each other. we are strong together. i love being part of the community that is my family. as for what other people think, i have no idea. i cannot speak for others. they have different situations as me. hope i helped. are you in a big family, too?
