Benr98 40 Posted July 31, 2008 Due to another thread about this forum being 'family' and having shared pics, where we live and age...I figured knowing how many siblings you have and where you fall in the line up could be fun. I'm the youngest of 7. Unfortunately I lost one brother, one sister and my dad. Jenny Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

SiboleGraphix 1 Posted July 31, 2008 I am the second oldest of 5. All girls! But I am my dads oldest! My oldest sister is from another dad. And my mom and dad's first born daughter Alexandra died of SIDS, so there should be 6 of us sisters. Then I have 2 girls and a boy. I named my first born for my sister Alexandra.

firemalt 10 Posted July 31, 2008 4 1/2 older brother, adopted. Prior to adopting my brother, my parents tried having kids for several years that ended in miscarriages, so they adpoted. In one final effort... I popped out! Jenny... sorry to hear that you have lost so many family members! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
haumana 1,221 Posted July 31, 2008 One older brother, and one younger (by 2 weeks) step-sister. Two nieces, two nephews. My mom and dad divorced by the time I was 8. Mom died while I was 16 (a week after her 40th birthday), and my dad died two weeks before his 58th. I never thought I would be one of those people who lost both parents by the time I was 35. Now around the anniversary of my dad passing and his birthday, I call my step-mother daily to keep her emotionally buoyed up. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Guest kenya Posted July 31, 2008 I'm the baby of 11. Eight boys -Three girls. Lost my 2nd to the oldest brother & my father to cancer. Mother will be 83 (going strong) & living in our guest house. The oldest headed to Vietnam when I was born. 19 years difference, but we have a bond that is unbelievable. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
CyberSultan 6 Posted July 31, 2008 but we have a bond that is unbelievable. Same with our large family. Just got back from a mini family reunion with all my siblings and their children. It was awesome with most of us able to be there. We really enjoy being together. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I just don't know how parents did it back than....I mean my parents had 7, that is still WAY to much for me! Than again things didn't cost as much, but they didn't make as much either...so I don't know. Ok rambling off Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Benr98 40 Posted August 1, 2008 My mom is still going strong at 78, thankfully. There is an age difference of 18 years between my oldest sister and I (with 5 thrown in between)! I don't think my mom planned on 'starting over'...LOL Thank you Kenya, it was difficult in that time frame! :- Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
