medium I have 4 kids. hubby has 2.  So not tooo bad.  My sister has 5 and I wouldn't be surprised if she had more.  I persoally was done with 4, but there is always more love to give to new family members.

I have a huge family. It can be really fun especially during family gatherings but can also be really annoying especially when everybody has a say in your life.

I have a small family of 3, hopefully 4 in the future.  I grew up as an only child, but I'd like for my daughter to have at least 1 sibling.

i have a really small family. its just me, my husband, and my daughter...the only extended family we have is my husband's dad's family. he just found his dad in january after 30 years, and they seem like good people we are going to meet them soon. its not a good idea for me to have more kids due to health reasons, and also i figure more kids would just take away from the time and resources i can give to my daughter. the rest of our extended relatives is huge in numbers, but none of them are very good people. my policy is, if you treat us like crap, we dont speak to you. family or not.

Well one side of the family is now very small and the other side is pretty large, but they're all in different states so it doesn't seem that way most of the time.

Well I have 3 kids. My parents had 3 kids. My little sister has 3 kids and my brother has no children. My oldest daughter doesn't want kids and my oldest niece and her husband have no children or plans for any at this time. It seems our family had a 3 kid thing going for a while but now no one wants kids LOL!

Are you referring to the number of members or weight of members? If it is members we are small. If it is weight, we could all stand to skip a meal or two.

My Mom had three girls, one was stillborn, so it was just my sister and I.  We are 5 years apart - so we never got along growing up.  I always knew I wanted to have lots of kids!!  I am very blessed with 6 children :)  3 boys and 3 girls  I wanted 4 more but my husband thought it was best to stop.  I love every minuet of my life, good and bad.  Wouldn't change a single thing.

my parents are immigrants and the rest of their family stayed back home, so you could say I have a big family, even though I've only met 3 relatives outside of my immediately family...

My family's always been small--my parents, my sister, and me--and I think I'd  go crazy in a big family. I only get claustrophobic in crowds, and lots of people drive me nuts.

I grew up with two parents and a sister, but now that my sister's married into a family of five with a very close-knit extended family, it feels like I've got tons of new cousins!  I've got lots of relatives in my own family, but we're not very close (emotionally or geographically), so it's nice to have gained some "extra family" recently.

I grew up with 3 sibs, and the extended family back in Texas extended through four generations.  The holiday get-togethers were huge -- 30-40 relatives.

I have a small family. Just the wife and two children.  However, I guess I have to include the dog and cat too.  So, that makes 6 and thus, I have a large family!!   :thumbsup:
