    I obviously have other relatives but they were not in my immediate life for much of the time, would only see them at holidays or whatever.

    Me, one (3.5 yrs younger than me) sister and the folks.

    Blackrock, Dublin.

    Couldn't imagine having any more siblings to be honest and won't be having more than 1 or 2 kids.

    I come from a family of one. I appeared, naked, in a ball of blue light, surrounded by lightning, one day.


  • Registered Users, Registered Users 2 Posts: 138 ✭✭gingerhousewife


    In Clare, there were 11 of us: Me, 5 brothers, 3 sisters and parents (and 1 bathroom!). If we start counting nieces/nephews/kids we'd be coming close to hitting the 30s!
