In this day and age of 'blended' families' I think it's not that unusual to have larger families.

Mum has 2 kids fom her first marriage, Dad has 2 kids from his first marriage and then they have a couple together and decide to take them all on holiday together

A sign of the times maybe?

Yup

My bro has 2, his current wife has 4 and they have two together. Absolute bedlam at his place

I know someone from a family of 16... parents always married... whne they have a get together it's in the village hall and it is wonderful to see ... on the whole everyone was beautifully behaved... but this was back in the 70's !

I don't know with modern standards are but once upon a time the big families shared everything and money was tight.

I had one family in a couple of years ago - 6 children and vegans... the house was left as a tip - worst of it was the sinks... I think she bathed the kids in the sinks as all the work tops in the bathrooms & the kitchen were swollen from water. The cooker had not been touched... no wonder they were all so skinny and pale!

Well, at least it's not the young lady in the States who's just had octuplets .... and has already got six kids .
