As a result, youre still really good at sharing now that youre an adult.
You naturally talk loudly.
When you were growing up, you were used to having to speak over everyone else to be heard.
Youre good at brokering peace.
Being part of a big family means that there are multiple competing personalities that can come to a head.
Youre good at being the middleman.

Youre used to being around people.
People are always shocked when you tell them how many kids are in your family.
Yes, there are five of us kids.
I know, its a lot.
You dont mind hand-me-downs.
Your first car was your sisters first.
Your first bike was your brothers.
And they all worked just fine.
Youre not high-maintenance because your parents were always trying to balance the needs of you and your siblings.
You understand that your issue is not always the priority which serves you into adulthood.
Thanks, Mom & Dad!
Turns out it was helpful that time you couldnt take me to the mall.
Your siblings are your best friends and your worst enemies.
Also, its pretty awesome to have built-in friends who understand your childhood because they had the same one.
Youre used to conflict.
With so many people in one family, theres bound to be conflict.
It doesnt phase you when people get into arguments and youre really good at figuring out solutions.
Even with the hand-me-downs and the fights, you wouldnt have chosen any other way.
Even though your own parents now admit it was absurd for them to have that many children.
You all turned out just fine.
