People talk about these crazy massive families that exist on news but what is the largest family you know? Im from quite a middle class area down south. Most families I know have one or two kids, sometimes three. I have one friend pregnant with her fourth and know one school mum with five! Very unusual though.

South East as well - know one family with 4 kids (maybe 5 - can’t remember :D)

They were quite wealthy and all privately educated so I dread to think of the private school bill😂

I have a friend who is one of 13. I spent some time on a religious moshav on the Golan Heights some years back and the people I stayed with had eight children, and theirs was one of the smallest families. I’ve never seen so many children in one place!

Of people I know, no more than three. I've only ever known one family with 5 or 6, and that was many years ago at primary school. I don't even know anyone with four.
