Well can you?

Can you beat me for family size, and by that I mean how man siblings do you have.

I myself am the oldest of 16 of us, go on beat that then!:D

I dunno where you live, but if you pay my travel costs, I'm perfectly willing to come and beat you! :tongue:

You beat me on the siblings count. I have a brother and sister. Now as for the cousin count. That's 20.

No problem. :)
Here's one for family size! [whack!]
And here's for boasting about it [wham!]

Heh I don't count the cuz's, I only really see them at weddings and funerals. Well that is my cuz's. My own kids, and all my nices and nepthews though, well we all live with 10 miles of each other so they see more of their cuz's then we ever did.

Ahhhhh virtual beatings. I can stand here and take them all day!:D

Ha. The majority of my cousin's live within a mile radius. Except I don't live in that radius anymore...Hmm..

I did have a few of mine contact me via facebook the other week.

What about cousins?

What about cousins?

Too many to count man.

Let me get this right and you'll beging to see what I mean.

My nan is the only one left of 12 siblings, my father has 5 brothers and sisters, and my mum well she her oldersister and one of her brothers are all thats left of 9 of them.

Only three of us. Which is good.

So you're saying you're the poster child for birth control?

Well can you?

Wouldn't that be more beating your mum?

My parents decided I was enough kid of them.

In regards to my second cousins we lost count after about 40 and we still don't know them all.

Both my grandmother and grandfather had 16 siblings each. My grandfather was the youngest and was an uncle the day he was born, he had older nephews and nieces and actually grew up with a nephew going to primary school with him.

So you're saying you're the poster child for birth control?

Bwahahahahaha! Hey? Shut up you!:p

Wouldn't that be more beating your mum?

Now that's where it gets interesting, and perhaps the secret of my large family is this.......

My dad has been married 3 times, and my mum 5!:D

in an overcrowded world, i beat everyone who isn't also an only child for family size, having zero siblings at all.

Well can you?

*hangs head in shame* only 4 brothers and 2 sisters.

It's one of the largest chav hives in the UK.

If by that you mean they start young and don't stop then yes they do.

Heh yeah the whole of London knows about us!:rolleyes:

Of course we do...*calls men in white coats*

That's a lie right there that is mate!

You can't cull a cockney, coz just saying the phrase brings so much alliteration pleasure that we get all excited and start to shout things like 'oi mate' and 'chim chimeny', and dance around so that you just can't round us up to cull.:D

Alliteration is important to a cockney.

Do they reproduce like mice? I'm curious.

Its a throw back to our Victorian hereitage, you know were the first 10 kids where more likely to die of soot poisoning or summit.

hey if you lived in a smaller city, your family would be a voting bloc that had to be catered to!

Ah, the factory, soot covered kids. Yeah, Oliver Twist comes to mind and all that jazz.

hahahahaha

if you lived in a town small enough when your name came up they would spend so much time placing your in your family tree that they would never get around to saying whatever slander they had about you.

" i saw peeps at the safeway this afternoon and do you know..."

"peeps? which one is that"

"he's violet's oldest boy"

"i thought fred was violet's oldest boy"

"noooo fred is FRANK's oldest boy, with fiona, you know the one that ran away with the carny back in '88"

"fiona was such a skank, i dont know what frank saw in her"

"whatever happened to fred? is he the one who joined the navy after that B&E thing?"

"noooo that was charlie...."

on and on

Only child. I win.

As usual.

Nu-uh, the most siblings win, and that is still me!:D

Not if you have to buy all of them and their children Christmas presents

Everyone is my brother!

I'm an only child.

Nu-uh, the children with no parents win.

But no parents means no presents.

Only children with two moms and two dads--who are raised Christian AND Jewish--clearly win the very most. Those lucky bastards.

Nu-uh, the most siblings win, and that is still me!:D
nope. they dont count unless you were all raised in the same home....

how many of your siblings are full siblings and how many shared the same home with you over 50% of the time you or they were growing up?

Not if you have to buy all of them and their children Christmas presents

Heh no we stopped doing that years ago. I buy for my kids, and my wife.

Well I grew up with 5 of us kids in the house, that was with my dads second wife.

Yep if you read between the lines, that means when my mum and dad divorced, my brother and myself went with dad not mum, so that means oficaly 1 full brother and the rest are half.

But we all grew up in touch, and playing with each other. I was up at my mums playing with her three kids from her second marriage every weekend, and yadda yada yadda. So as far as I'm concerend there are no full and half siblings, they are all fully my family, if you see what I mean.

Heh tales could be told about that. but basicly my sister always had her own bedroom and us four boys always shared a bedroom, shit and at times even the same bed.

I Honestly have no idea how many relatives I have, I know I have quite a bit in Indianna, some out in England, where the rest are(which I've been told about but never seen)? I have no idea, lol.

Heh almost the same as me, except I have family in India, not Indianna!:tongue:

Does your daddy often sing "every sperm is sacred" by any chance ?

when i was little my sisters and i slept all in one double bed. AND from time to time one of the neighborhood girls whose dad worked nights (and whose mom must have been unreliable or sick)

the boys got bunk beds but it eased up when i was still a pre-schooler and my other brothers set off to make their own way in the world.

Heh naaa, although the Indian side of the family are catholic, most of my lot are atheist

Yeop I can rememebr sharing the same bed as my brothers until I hit about 10. Then I went into hospital for three months and when I came out, we all had our own beds. Haha hand made, and rough as shit by our own beds!

Good Lord, why would I want to win that race? Please, enjoy your victory and here's hoping you live forevermore as the winner.

Hmm. Perhaps this should be a poll - is having lots of siblings (or children) something to be proud, or something to be ashamed of ?

why would you be ashamed of something that someone else did?

you can (maybe) be proud of the family you have and their achievements but the number of siblings you have wasnt a decision you had any input in.

That's kinda like "Proud to be an American". Like you had the choice.

why would you be ashamed of something that someone else did?

Because that somebody else would be your parents. Many people feel ashamed if their mommy or daddy behaves badly.

oh

hmmmm


nah, its sick to be ashamed of your family unless they are people that you should be ashamed of (like the bush twins, the poor things)

I have zero siblings, so we're not contributing to overpopulation and the related problems. I win!

I may not be able to beat you on how large your family is, but how small .. that's another story.

I have an older half-sister and half-brother - both have disappeared - no one knows where to find them - given their ages and life style at the time I knew them, I'm assuming they're no longer with us. I have two living cousins, one of whom was adopted, only one living aunt. So, in sum, of living relatives who I can contact, I have (including my children) five.

Of course, my dad was a bit of a player, and travelled all over the world when he was in the Merchant Marine and, later, the Navy, so I don't know how many "unofficial" siblings I have world wide.

Well can you?

man siblings?

I got two.

and one woman sibling. :p
