I am the oldest of 4. I am not sure how my sanity would handle 4 children, but it was fun having so many people around growing up. :-)

Growing up it was just me. I now have two half siblings who are much, much younger. The oldest was born when I was in grad school.

I'm one of 5. I genuinely don't know how my parents did it.

Middle of five- all girls. We range in age from 33 to 18

5. me and 4 brothers. 2 are half brothers who spend 2 weeks at Christmas and the entire summer (end of May through end of August) with us.

My mom also watched my 3 cousins during school breaks and summers. So it was 8 of us for 1/4 of the years.

ETA: I'm the middle kid in my family.

I have one sister, 2 years older.

[teatimefor2]

I am the oldest of three. I have a younger sister and brother.

I am the second of 6. I loved being part of a big family. I wish I had the courage to do the same. I have no idea how my mom did it, I'm having a hard time with just one!

[zeewifeandmama]

I have five younger. All half technically.

I am not entirely sure how to answer this.

I had a big sister who died when I was 4 years old and she was 8. My brother was adopted when I was 5. My parents divorced when I was a teenager, and they each remarried a person with two daughters when I was 17, so I gained four step-sisters within the space of a month. I was never close to my dad's step-daughters, and my dad and their mom have since divorced. I am fairly close to my mom's step-daughters--we spend holidays with them, vacation with them, my kids consider their kids cousins, etc.

So basically, from birth to 4 yo, it was just me and my sister, from 5.5 yo to 17 yo it was just me and my brother, for a while I had a brother and four step-sisters, and now I would say there are four of us (plus the sibs IL). But I voted two since it was me and my brother for most of my formative years.

I have one sister, older by 3 years.

2 younger sisters

I'm #3 of 5 kids. Even though my 2 older brothers were generally jerks to me my first 15yrs, I loved having a big family. My mom was super mom though. I have 4 and with DD4 being 4yrs younger (the other 3 are 2.5yrs apart) I feel a little guilty she doesn't have a buddy.

[fbf2006]

3 siblings. We are 3 girls and a boy.

[sillygoosegirl]

I have a sister and a brother, but they are so much older that it was just me at home when I was a kid.

[dcn]

I am the third of four.  All girls.

I have two much older half brothers from my dad's first marriage that stayed with us during the summer. And the oldest one lived with us when he was a senior in high school and I was in kindergarten. And my mom abd dad divorced when i was 6. So we've never really been close, lol.

For the majority of my childhood it was just me and my little sister.

Then at age 10 my mom remarried and I got an older step brother and step sister (2 and 5 years older than me). They stayed with us about 25% of the time. Fairly close and still regularly see them.

So I was number 5 of 6 kids, but I feel like the oldest since most of the time it was just me and my sister. And my step siblings are in no way related to my half siblings.

[turtletop90]

i have 4 older half brothers.

My Mom and ex-husband had 3 boys. My Dad and ex-wife adopted 1 boy.

Then they got married and had an oops baby - me.

And we all lived together, like the Brady Bunch. However, my oldest brother is 17 years older, so he was going away to college when I was a baby.

[AHappierHour]

1 brother and 2 half brothers. My half brothers didn't live with us till I was 9 and they were older. It was only a few years till they were out of the house.

Only child checking in. I did gain 2 stepsisters & a stepbrother in my early 20's. But I was out of the house at that point, so we've never been really close. They are nice enough, but I definitely don't consider them actual siblings.

One twin sister
