Nowadays, the average family has fewer kids, say about 2 or 3. I set up this poll to see how big ours are, and what we had in common. Currently, my family consists of 6 people, me, my 3 brothers, and my parents with the youngest being my baby brother (6 months) and my dad, being the oldest(50 yrs). Poll Information This poll contains 2 question(s). 55 user(s) have voted. You may not view the results of this poll without voting. function launch_voter () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=vote;pollid=oWRmJWwrahOD"); return true; } // end launch_voter function launch_viewer () { launch_window("http://www.ironycentral.com/cgi-bin/ubb/ultimatebb.cgi?ubb=poll;d=view;pollid=oWRmJWwrahOD"); return true; } // end launch_viewer function launch_window (url) { preview = window.open( url, "preview", "width=550,height=300,toolbar=no,location=no,directories=no,status,menubar=no,scrollbars,resizable,copyhistory=no" ); window.preview.focus(); return preview; } // end launch_window   -------------------- --------------------------------- Live long and prosper.

Four; two parents, one sibling, and me. And Dikiyoba knows several people who only have two people in their family. Posts: 4346 | Registered: Friday, December 23 2005 08:00 |

Two sisters, two parents. My fathers father was the only boy in the family and my dad was his only son. So I guess that leaves carrying on the family name up to me. Posts: 776 | Registered: Friday, July 4 2003 07:00 |

Hmm. I have one sister. However, given that I'm well out of the house at this point and married with no children, I would say that my family would technically include two members, an option which was not represented, and may also apply to single parents with one child.

I think the poll is about siblings only, poster not included. Otherwise I don't see how any family could have zero members. —Alorael, who was born abiogenically from decaying shag carpet. Posts: 14579 | Registered: Saturday, December 1 2001 08:00 |

Two brothers, mother, father. Although technically I'm a household of one, and the rest of my family live in two other places, plus there's people, who I don't view as family but social services (or whatever) would count as extended family, living with them.

Well, you could technically say that my family has 5 members, with my 2 sisters, my parents, and me. Of course, considering the fact that both of my sisters and I have flown the coop and each have a place of our own, you could make a case for my family only having one member. :P [ Thursday, June 29, 2006 22:25: Message edited by: Tyran ] -------------------- "You're drinking liquor because you're thirsty?

This topic is nuclear-biased, so I don't know how to count my family. If just siblings, then we are 3 (two sisters). If parents and siblings, then we are either 5 or 3, and if you add up all the individuals then we're 6. ?? -------------------- I think this is really wonderful.

Please be more careful when setting up a poll. Seriously, if the question had been slightly less original, I'd have checked all of the above just for giggles. One sister. Four members in the family, not counting my grandmother (sole surviving grandparent) who lives half a kilometer away, but counting myself, who has, as Tyran put it, "flown the coop". I still go home on weekends though. In term's of uncles, I have one father's brother and two mother's sisters, one on each side with their own families (four children each). Also, the earlier generations having more children, I have several grand-aunts, grand-uncles, and cousins of which I remember only a few; they all live far away and we only ever meet on funerals etc. [ Thursday, June 29, 2006 21:54: Message edited by: Drow ] -------------------- Encyclopaedia Ermariana • Forum Archives • Forum Statistics • RSS [Topic / Forum] My Blog • Polaris • I eat novels for breakfast.

Two older sisters, two parents, and me. Both my sisters did "fly the coop", but then they came back. -------------------- Do not underestimate the power of the mechanical pencil. Join the Dark side.

As I'm living at home again for the time being and my grandmother lives in a nursing home nowadays, mine is a family of 5 members, consisting of my parents, my two older sisters, and myself. If you add in my brothers-in-law, it's 7, but as I assumed you meant only immediate family I left them out. -------------------- Stughalf "Delusion arises from anger.

I don't have any siblings. I have 3 cousins on mother's side and no aunts/uncles on father's side of the family. It looks like two members have 66 siblings. I wonder what species visit these forums, because it would be pretty hard for a human to have that many. (Unless they have 11 siblings and checked all boxes because 10, 9, 8, ... are subsets of 11.)
