[quote=Anonymous]I will second everyone who says not to plan every second to be together. We all do our own things during the day and meet for a big family dinner in the evening at home. Other than that, do what makes you happy. Everyone in my family gets along and is generally helpful, but we use a chore charts to try to keep things even. When we all arrive, everyone signs up for something every day on the chart. It includes: clean up after breakfast, clean up after lunch, clean up after dinner, cook dinner, put up umbrellas on the beach, take trash out, shopping. Someone goes to the store everyday and we have a running list of "needs" since with 13 people someone always needs something. People fend for themselves for breakfast/lunch and the parents of young kids are responsible for shopping for and feeding them. It's not 100% perfect and my mother probably still does more than her fair share, but it works for us! Good luck![/quote]
