    I wonder if families now are large theses days . it seems a lot of people are having 2 kids

    The earths over populated as it is. Nothing wrong with 2 kids. Who can afford these big familes?

    Nine including parents. Gotten smaller though :( that's the hazard of being the youngest in a large-ish family! Was quite a normal size where I came from (Laois), plenty of land to farm :pac:

    6 in my family, 1 brother, 2 sisters, ma, da

    but it gets bigger, my dad has 17 brothers and sisters and my mam has 8

    which when they all marry and have 4-5 kids, and their kids have now started having kids, it gets pretty big.i have second cousins (cousins kids?) and cousins who were born in America, Australia, England etc.... as a few of my fathers brothers and sisters emigrated.

    my dads family fielded a 5 of a senior GAA team at one stage

    thats how I got the nickname mousey, because we breed like them


    I remember in transition year in one of the crap free classes the teacher handed out an A4 sheet to do a family tree, i had to request a A3 sheet and still ran out of room.
    ended up giving up after about 10 minutes



    edit forgot to add, im from wicklow
