I fall ftfth out of 9 kids...........my mom had kids like the brady bunch set of 3 2 boys and a girl -- 3 girls -- 3 boys first set about 2 years apart each sec set 2 years apart third set one year apart i was in the second set (3 girls) and out of that i was the middle i think it shaped my personailty because it let me sit back and watch both the younger and oldest children grow ....... it made me have shy traits...... it made me less responsible it also made me more patient and giving when you grow up in a large family of this size you have to learn alot of patience and you have to know how to give it makes the reposibilty part of life bad because you rely on the oldest ones to do everything the older siblings dont always treat you well...... all depends on who they are we were very poor ....but we were happy when i was young i at the time hated that i had such a large family and as i grew up some i loved being in a large family up untill most got married and went there seperate ways there not as giving or caring .......they barely even know im alive a few in the family care about me but most dont ........they all think they can hide that ......but it shows .... i always said actions speak louder then words .......and ill say that till the day i die ................. the best time s in my life would of had to be about the age of 12 when everything was care free and i had my sisters to help me in times of trouble .........i just wish that as we all got older that we could of been more closer and wish that many in the family wasnt so greedy ........i think being poor can sometimes make you more greedy then being rich many think its a great thing to be brought up with a huge family it would depend on everyones personality .......not how big ones family is ..... if i had to do it all over again i would of liked to of been brought up in a decent family .......i wouldnt care about the size ....... .........if you ever have alot of kids...........let the younger ones do some of the bigger things and let the older ones sometimes go under the smaller siblings on chores ect let everyone be equal and whatever you do ......dont let the older ones be the parent it just isnt right.......
