Do you come from a big family?

Like aunts, uncles, brothers, sisters, cousins out the wazoo, nieces and nephews?
I hardly have family anymore so it makes it difficult, but then I see massive families fight and argue and I’m thankful for peace.

Not a very big immediate family, but a very big extended family, yes. My dad is the second oldest of 14, so I have lots of aunts, uncles, and cousins on his side. And my mom's mom was the oldest of nine, so I have lots of second cousins on her side.

Yeah, there can sometimes be drama at family gatherings (and behind the scenes stuff that I hear about through the grapevine), but overall my big extended family really is a blessing.

But yeah, some peace and quiet is nice too.
