[quote=Anonymous]I'm amazed at the prevalence of negative experiences among posters from large families. I was the oldest of 4 and never once felt like I wasn't a child anymore, or like I was raising my siblings. And my mom was a single mom for a couple of years too. I did "babysit" the younger ones a couple of times when I was 11 or 12 when my mom started dating again. But other than that my childhood was filled with playing, bickering, etc with all my siblings together. We always had enough kids for backyard sports and imaginary games. We all had chores and responsibilities to help run the house, but nothing onerous. I loved having lots of siblings, although maybe 4 kids isn't that large a family compared to some posters here. My husband is one of 5 and also liked his big family. We feel like we have a small family with only 3 kids![/quote]
