What Are The Disadvantages Of Having A Big Or Large Family?

I call it the sibling drag. Can be quite frustrating for individual freedom. Not to mention the fights.  Being made to wait for long times at restaurants because they don't have a table big enough for you yet!  Want to know more, just ask someone who currently lives in a large family.

Well, I come from a big family. 8 kids including me. I am the oldest and only girl, so I have 7 younger brothers. I wouldn't be without any one of them! I love being in a big family! The idea took some getting use to because for years, it was just me and the eldest of the boys. Then the rest came along. So we were so use to it being just the two of us. But, nevertheless, I wouldn't have it any other way. Who needs friends when you practically live with so many siblings that you have your own fan club?! LOL! Being a part of a big family is AWESOME!
