My mother had 9 siblings and 1 half sister, My ex-in-laws had 11 also.  Lots of family there. All of my mothers brothers and sister are now gone and I miss each and everyone. Out of my exs family only 4 children are still alive. Just the ones I went to school with. Not one of the whole bunch of both families ever saw or used welfare. all  hard working.

I went to my mother in-law's funeral today.  I thought I married the 10th of 13 children.  She actually had 16 children (8 boys, 8 girls) and four of them preceded her in death from her first husband.  Her husband who was at the funeral had 9 children.  She left behind 12 children (6 boys, 6 girls), 38 grandchildren, 50 great grandchildren, 13 great great grandchildren and I have never been to a funeral where it was so many family members, they actually had to put people out of the church.  She is the third person I knew that had more children than 4.  I know a man who has 28 children and a couple in Chicago who parented 28.  Who in your family had the greatest amount of children? :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :thumbsup: :rainbow:
this is wonderful!

I just read on CNN about a couple has 12 kids, all of them paid college tuition without parents help.
But a couple that i know personaly having many kids is my grandfather, 12 kids :)

I have a friend who comes from a family with 16 children. And my parents would tell us how challenging it was with families of 8 and 9 children in their families. My friend became good friends with my parents as well.  :)

You don't hear of big famalies as often anymore.  When you do it seems a career has been made of it with the help of reality tv.  I come from a family of 5 children.  However there is an 11, 13, 15 & 17 year difference between me and my siblings so growing up I always felt like an only child.

I believe my paternal grandparents had 8 or 9. I'm their youngest grandchild and both of them died before I was born.

That's easy. My mom's sister has 14 kids and over 50 grandchildren. My dad's sister has 9 children, though I'm not sure how many grandchildren, but I'm sure it's a lot. It's interesting, on my mom's side when we gather for family reunions. There are so many kids that it's sometimes hard to keep track of names.

A childhood friend and her husband have five children.  Sadly, she gets a lot of negative reactions from people.  Have a great day!
