How many siblings do you have?

[LostInAnomie]

Poll question: How many siblings do you have?

[Placebo]

1. ahem, only children need not apply?

:eyes:

:P

[HeyManThatsCool]

7. Yeah, I'm an only. Am I no good?

[LostInAnomie]

12. I figure that if you were so bad your parents didn't want another child...

... you don't deserve to be recognized.

That and for some reason when I made the poll it didn't accept the zero option. Now it's too late.

[Placebo]

14. Or, their first try turned out so fab...

they didn't see the need for a drawn out "trial and error" birthing policy :)

[Withywindle]

34. Yeah, mine quit while they were ahead! n/t

[tinfoilinfor2005]

36. Dad said they threw away the mold after me...

but "mold" can mean a couple of things so I am never sure! I think it made me more independent and self sufficient...never have a problem entertaining myself or eating dinner alone in restaurants. But it would have been nice to share my growing up years with some siblings. And at age 58, it would be nice to share some of the heartbreak and responsibility of aging parents. Who knows.

[Withywindle]

2. You don't have an option for "none" n/t

[slutticus]

3. Zero!

WTF?

What am I, chopped liver? :evilfrown:

[Padraig18]

4. 13.

I'm the 11th of 14 children.

:D

[Not_Giving_Up]

5. WOW

That's impressive!

[Padraig18]

10. My parents both loved children.

:D

[LiberalFighter]

13. Farm or other?

[Padraig18]

16. Yes, we lived on a farm.

My Daddy was a farmer, and Mam was a practical nurse.

:)

[Misunderestimator]

29. If I might ask...

how many of you are gay? I have a dear friend who is one of 12 in an Irish Catholic family, and he and two of his brothers are gay. Just curious what the ratio is in yours.

[Padraig18]

32. 2, definitely, and maybe 3.

One of my sisters is a lesbian, and I'm gay. A younger brother is questioning his orienation, atm.

[Misunderestimator]

33. Thanks, that's interesting...

about the same ratio as my friend... both more than 10%.

[LiberalFighter]

31. My mother is 2nd of 12...

Her father a farmer and carpenter.

My father's father was 1st of 12.
His father was a farmer but the Depression made it difficult.

15. To quote Groucho Marx...

"I love my cigar, but I take it out once in a while."

[Padraig18]

18. LOL! To quote my Mam, ...

... "If people who love children shouldn't have a lot of them, who should?"

:)

[LostInAnomie]

6. Jeez

That poor woman.

[Solly Mack]

8. Golly

[Allenberg]

17. Catholic?

:D

[Padraig18]

19. Yes.

And Irish.

[Reverend_Smitty]

26. Oh Paddy...

you're such a stereotype! lol :P

[Padraig18]

27. Hehe

Someone has to do it.

[Allenberg]

[KitchenWitch]

9. Another Zero!

ahem

[lala_rawraw]

11. 0

[KitchenWitch]

20. I see election fraud here

A whole subset of the population can't vote. LOL

[Cuban_Liberal]

21. 6 --- 3 older, 3 younger.

:)

[Misunderestimator]

22. 3... the youngest of four

my mom had her tubes tied after me :) It's probably what saved her life for a while anyway... she had multiple sclerosis, which can be exacerbated by having more children.

[Bok_Tukalo]

23. 7

Big family.

[DemoTex]

24. I am the oldest of 5. Two bros, two sisters.

Dr. DemoTex (my wife) is the oldest of 5. She has 4 bros. My dad had 9 siblings and my mother 8. We are childless and love our solitude. Wonder why?

[Reverend_Smitty]

25. 2 other syblings...I'm the oldest by 13 years!

My brother is 8 and my sister is 4. So I basically grew up an only child

[all.of.me]

28. three that i know of..

there may be two older than me, but i have not found them yet. i can not even get this information verified by my birthmother!

[maveric]

30. Had two but only one still alive.

There were three boys in family.

[MissMillie]

35. I am the youngest of 6

but only by 27 minutes.

[SarahB]

37. One brother.

He has multiple disabilities (stemming from a seizure disorder), so I had a weird childhood. I didn't have anyone to fight with or play with, but most definitely (in a big way) had to share my parents. He has almost died a number of times and the cause was likely shaken baby syndrome when he was a year old (he was normal kid the first year of life) by a babysitter. It just didn't have a name, nor awareness/evidence in 1975.

Probably why I always told myself I'd have at least three children as a kid. Thankfully, mine are all very healthy.

[Fifth of Five]

38. Had 4 - thus my user name.

Only 2 of us left now.

[Lauri16]

39. 3

All older brothers. I'm the only girl. Damn was I spoiled! :D
