[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I should note as someone from a big family, you shouldn't ask moms of young kids this.  The chaos didn't really get into full swing until my oldest brother was a teen.

Even now, I kind of dread holidays with my everyone because it's always so loud.  But this is also a fun combo of a large family and multiple people with ADHD.[/quote]

This right here is the truth.
The chaotic baby years are nothing.
The real experience is when they become HELLish teens. 
Days or even hours become unpredictable and the moodiness and bad attitude diminishes the joy.
Makes the diaper years feel like they were a breeze.[/quote]

It sucks for the siblings too. My childhood was basically destroyed by first my oldest brother just melting down as a teen and then my dad having a heart attack. I became an adult at nine. My older siblings didn’t help raise me; I became the helper to my mom and my brother who was a mess and my sister who was bitter about it. I didn’t get to be my own person until my late 20s. Having a big family just meant exponentially more dysfunction and obligation.[/quote]
