I'm the youngest of 18 kids.

Dad had 6, mum had 4, they had 5 together and mum & dad adopted mum's sisters 3 kids when their parents died (before I was born)

Crazy!

Blimey Crocus, that really is a BIG family! How was it, growing up? Are you close to your siblings now? How many kids do you have? [Nosy]

I am one of 4, which was great.

My MIL is one of 12, that seems a lot now they are all married with their own children and a fair few grandchildren too.

I'm one of 9, and have 5 of my own and 2more on the way. My partner is also one of 18 and the funny thing is were both the youngest in our family's. I have 46 nieces and nephews. And my partner has close to 100 nieces and nephews. And then we both also have great neices and nephews. We love having a huge family

In answer to op - no, I'm one of 3., have 9.

Apologies in advance but just have to ask .... Did your family have a very large house? Quite a few issues we have had have been related to lack of enough space for everyone and their stuff. Most particularly as they have got older.
