  • Yes.  I was the first.  She should have stopped after that.  At least I got top billing, but honestly it's hard sharing the stage with siblings who just phone it in.  Me...I'm fabulous!  LOL!

    Yes.  And since I was the third I figured that was enough.  When I came out I kind of made she wouldn't be having any more (I literally "broke the mold").

      By answering yes, are you saying that you think she should not have had you?

    No.  My sister is my best friend.  There are no other siblings.

    I suppose 4 is a lot of kids especially since she was breeding with a psycho. That's probably why three of the four turned out to be oddballs.

    No. We were all meant to be. I always wonder why my twin brother didn't make it and I did.

    No, there should have been about a dozen of us. Growing up on a farm there were still too many chores for 4 of us to handle. With a dozen we could have rotated having a day off once in a while.

    Yes.  My mom had one too many.  My dad had the right amount of kids which was two kids but my mom had three kids so that half-brother is the one that was one too many.

    Strange question.  Any answer must be highly subjective.  Or highly judgmental.  But I would say no.

      I‘m confused; is there supposed to be something wrong with subjectiveness?

    I don't think its too nice to say your mother had too many children.

    No.  But, I would like to expound a little bit.
    From my own experience and observation, if you are going to have one, have two.
    I say this because we are creatures who need one another.  It takes two to make one but we need to have someone else to bounce things on and off of.  No pun intended.
    Only make enough to replace yourselves.  Over-population is a huge problem but feeling alone is too.
    Moderation is the best idea and please teach them manners.
    "Please and thank you," will be really nicely accepted.  Help one another.

  •  nope. it's just me and my younger  bro. i always wanted an older sibling tho so i could have less responsibility but then I would be the damaged middle child and that doesn't sound fun either

    Yes. Seven is too many (Mum was a devout Catholic). She should have stopped with number five, my little sister - because number six (my next-to-youngest brother) is a complete waste of space. A whiner - when he was born almost forty years ago the doctor slapped his little a$$ to make him cry and he never, ever stopped since.

    I would have  been fine with as many as we could afford, but I am not fine with having that thing that was my brother included.  He is the only thing I have as far as brothers and sisters and I would have so much preferred being an only child to having to know that this thing exists on the planet.
