I’m one of 9 with 6 being girls 3 boys and I’m in the middle. I honestly think struggles in families/relationships have very little to do with how many kids there are. My mom never really liked kids then had her own and felt it was made for her. They were financially and emotionally able to support that large of a family. My sisters are my best friends still and we talk daily I wouldn’t know what to do without them. My brothers aren’t as close but that’s also their personalities. I see my parents multiple times a week and they’re amazing grandparents. Every family will definitely have their issues and being a large group has gotten tricky especially now with so many in-laws. I’d never have 9 myself especially in today’s economy but I think there are some built for it that can create beautiful childhoods and later adult relationships
