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.......
