    So talking to some girl in work and mentioned that I have 5 sisters, which her reply is do you all have different dads. It was such an out of left field question that I received and have never been asked before.

    So all the girls in my office seem to be of the belief that many siblings equals many fathers is the normal and one father and mother is abnormal.

    I ask these questions coz all my family would be still very old school family.

    Are they right? When did this change? What does that mean for society?

    I'm sorry but I don't believe that. You exaggerate at best.

    Trust me I expected some to be of ideology that big families doesn't mean many fathers, but got an overwhelming opposite response.

    Now in saying this, it was only 5 girls, not entirety.
    But you would expect one at least to differ.

    Are they very young? The younger a person is, the more unusual a big family is for them.

    Yeah all early 20's, but I wouldn't correlate many kids equals kids can't be from 1 mother 1 father.
