I've got an older brother and sister and a younger brother and sister. It never seemed like we were a large family though cause my big sister got sent to a home when she was about age 13. And my big brother went to live with our bioligical father when he was 15. So it was just me and the younger ones...and then I left for college when they were almost in junior high.

  Wow - total craziness! 

  I'm glad that I gained some valuable conflict-resolution and people skills from living with so many sisters.  I feel like I have already been a mother too!  LOL  I just wish I had a brother; it would have provided some much-needed insight into the male psyche.  :D

  Are y'all glad to have so many siblings?

I am glad to have been part of a big family...although if you would have asked me that at different times during my earlier years, my opinion would have varied. It was fun to always have somebody to play with but sometimes you just wander what it's like to be spoiled rotten...haha. Now, I live about 4-5 hours from my immediate family and miss them sorely when I can't see them as often as I would like to. I really only get to see everyone around holidays which really bites. Hopefully, i will have a dependable car soon(within the next 3 months) and I will be able to visit them on weekends I am off.

My understanding of "Conflict resolution"..."I'm the oldest, that's why"...j/k...lol

wow...I couldn't imagine living with that many kids...wait...I have before what am I talking about...

I am the oldest of three...but for almost a year we lived with another family who also has three children...and the ages of the six of us are:

Me-21
My sister-18
My brother-15
Lindsey-11
Marissa-8
Joseph-5

Now talk about crazy...we tell people they are our brother and sisters, and they do the same...so its pretty cool...I've known them for over ten years now, and I feel like they are my family.
