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.

Current - a parent at dc’s school had 6 and a colleague’s sister has 7 (& not done yet)

Historically I have a lot of high numbers in family. Biggest was my Dad’s Aunt who had 24, and 22 of them lived past childhood - which was rare then. We have a photo with 17 of them on. She never had a single baby birth, all were twins, triplets or quads

I only know two big families. One had 5 boys and kept going because they wanted a girl. In the end they had 7 boys and 1 girl at the end. I honestly don't know how long they would have carried on going for

The other one has 5 with one father and then had another 5 with another man. He also has 4 with his previous partner, so 14 between them
