    Big Family anyone!!!

    DS and GF had there baby scan today, taking all 5 kids in the room with them, the nurse was wow, lucky you all getting a new baby in your big family, they were all well behaved, excited and happy. the nurse commented on how good they had been....

    I know this is a big family to some (most) but that's what they are now a FAMILY, they got there keys to there new house today, i am not for one minute thinking its going to be easy, but there all in a good place at the moment, baby can come along anytime...

    Just got me thinking about big families, my mam has 7 sisters and 4 brothers, you don't see many families this size, but there all close too....

    I was worried about 6 kids, I am not now and really looking forward to little one arriving, I have already said babysitting duties have stopped...they think i am kidding.....

    You don't see many big families now Pearl no, but there must be many families that are bigger due to step children, if you see what I mean. Having been a lonely child growing up, I always wanted a big family, 4 at least. I ended up with 3 . 2, then a 10 year gap 'indulgence'!

    How lovely that the nurse commented on how well behaved the children were. You have a lovely family

        "Gemini, it could have so easily went the other way with this lot of Grandkids, but they are very excited....so on this occasion were all behaving themselves"

        Like any children, Pearl
        My GD is usually very well behaved and mature for her age, but not always!
        She was appalling last Wednesday, when we had met my friends and their GD after my GD left school, for the girls to play, and then we all ate in Pizza Express. When her daddy came to pick her up from the restaurant she was awful to him. She wasn't going home ever, etc etc. Miserable and sulky. She won't see this friend until summer now, and she just couldn't cope with it!!!

            4 under the age of 2.... how did they cope, I had 2 under 2 and that was bad enough.... there is 9yrs difference between my oldest and youngest, but they all get on pretty well, well most of the time...

            I think that's what DS and GF are saying what's one more, wont make much difference, I will remind them of that when there pulling there hair and needing a break....

              awww Gemini, couldnt imagine your little one doing that, she looks so angelic saying that my GK's could really be behaving themselves and as soon as DS walks through the door its bedlam, my mam used to say it about my kids too

                Hubby is one of 8 children, 5 boys and 3 girls.He is the 2nd eldest.Sadly his older brother died last year. One of his brothers doesn't talk to 2 of his sisters, been like this for a number of years now.
                When the kids were younger, there were 2 sisters that never got along,but now they are quite close.I am really close to 3 of hubbys siblings, but we get along fine with all the others.Both hubby and myself were really close to the one that died.Maybe that had something to do with being closer in age.
                Crikey, don't I go on sometimes.
                Sometimes I forget to like posts,but that doesn't mean I don't like them.

                  I am the youngest of six, 5 girls and one boy. There are just three of us left now, don't see much of each other but talk on the phone.

                    My twin brother and I are the eldest of 5,we where 3 when mum had our sister then the other two just sort of arrived We where all happy as children and never went without it seemed normal then to have 4/5 in the family when I was young.
                    My DD has 6 DCs 5 boys and 1 girl and if she was born first instead of last she would have been an only child they are spaced out though in years 2 are now 24 & 22 two are 19 & 17 and the two little ones 11 & 13 so they all have had special time with mum as they where growing up,DD has worked right through when they where all at school and is a good mum but she is very strict with them,its me who tends to spoil them too much.

                      I was one of 3 sisters. Well 2 are half sisters. My natural mother was one of 13, and two of those were twins, and she was one twin with her brother Walter. I do have the family history now wich is very interesting. My adoptive parents did not come form large families at all.

                        Pearl - I have always thought it would be lovely to be part of a big family! So pleased to hear DS and GF have got the keys to their new house. I hope they can get moved and settled before the baby arrives.


                        Like Gemini I grew up a lonely child. My sister died in babyhood and I was the 'spare'! But OH is 4th of 5 - two girls then 3 boys. They all get on well and all the in-laws get on well too. But when we first got married I found slotting into a much bigger family really hard.

                        Glamm - I love how you say 'the other two just sort of arrived'!!

                        Nanto - isn't it interesting that your OH's 2 sisters have learned how to get on with each other.


                        Plant - it's good to keep in touch and phone calls are always welcome.

                        Elisi - I think you should think about putting your family story down on paper - and sharing it with us, if possible.

                          I am one of five. First daughter, second child. My brother was 11 months older than me. My sister was three years younger, brother 9 years younger, sister 8 years younger. I think my middle sister felt a bit lonely when she was growing up as my brother and I were a pair being so close in age as were the two youngest ones. My father was one of sixteen, none left now unfortunately. Mother was one of three so a relatively small family for the time.
