I come from a small family; mom, dad and sister a year older than I. We lived in a tiny home. It was a 2 bedroom, 1 bath and then my parents converted the dining room into a smaller dining room and a small bedroom. 1 telephone the entire time I lived there. The yard was a decent size to play tag, we had a swingset and we could do acrobats.
Pretty much small, in fact always been around three people most of my life and not often going to a group of family for a night out. Then again many years ago we invited almost all family members and turns out it was over 30 of us 😛
I have 6 siblings. In most cases, this is defined as a big family. 😀 Though there are some families around here, where the parents have upwards of 12 or more children.
