We don’t even need a booth.
My family has more breadth than depth, lots and lots of aunts, uncles and cousins. But per the OP, there are only 3 of us, my brother, my partner and I. My brother has a few exes and exes’ kids; do they count? And my partner has god-knows-how-many siblings; do they count?
6.5. My wife and I, our two kids, the husband of the married one, my brother, and his wife who he is separated from and so counts 1/2. If I counted my father-in-law it would be 7.5.
My mom’s number would be 76: there’s the 25 of us, plus her mom, her eleven siblings, the nine spouses and 23 nieces and nephews, their spouses (4, I think), and kids (3).
We don’t do Christmas presents.
Come to think of it, my grandmother’s number would probably be well over 100: there’s 75 directly descending from her (plus spouses), three living siblings and there must be another 20-30 descendants of those siblings.
Lessee…Mom, me, my spouse, 3 sibs, 2 sibs-in-law = 8. Next generation = 9 if their spouses count, 8 otherwise, officially (+ 1 unofficially). Generation after that = 5 officially (+ 3 unofficially), which makes 21 or 22 officially (25 or 26 unofficially). These are the family members I’m aware of. Ages run from 81 down to 3.
The official and unofficial counts have to do with an adoptive relationship where there is biological continuity but no legal recognition.
I am it. I outlived all the parents, siblings and grandparents.
I’m the lone wolf carrying the torch for the family and I’m OK with it.
I feel a sense of contentment on one hand in helping all the others reach their end as well as possible, yet a tinge of regret that I might have handled affairs better. I’ve been known as a loner all my life so my niche is very fitting indeed.
My parents are dead.I’m one of 5 children - I’m unmarried and so is one sister, meaning sibs and spouses = 7 +1 (me) = 8. My sibs have 11 children. Two are married. One niece has a child. 8 + 14 = 22. I have 42 first cousins.
StG
From parents down, four - mom, dad, me, my wife.
Joe
38
Both folks, me and 4 living sibs, 3 sibs’ spouses, 16 grandkids, 3 GK spouses and 7 great grandkids.
On Mom’s side, family gatherings usually run between 75 and 100+.
ETA: Age range 8-78.
From my parents on down, eight. If you start at my grandparents, though (what I think of as “the family”), it’s somewhere in the vicinity of 120.
We are 6 right now but in about 12.5 hours we’ll be 7!
61 to 2 (or -12.5 hrs)
Not very.
2-5 depending on how you count it; me and my brother are the “2”. Parents are dead, neither of us has biological children. He does however live with a woman and her two children; since they aren’t formally married it’s questionable if they count or not by the OPs standard.
10, with an upgrade to 11 due in April.
2 parents
1 brother, 1 sister-in-law, my partner, myself
2 nephews (and a niece or nephew in the way), 2 kids of my own.
Age range: 58 years-6.5 months (or -5 months if you’re so inclined).
These numbers would be so much larger if my parents answered this question, especially my mum.
Just four, since Dad died. The number jumps to around sixty if I were to add aunts and cousins.
One of my cousins married into a family that would be close to a hundred, easily. Huuuge, very catholic family.
16 including me, down the straight line from my parents to my grandchildren. My parents, two brothers, and three sisters in law are all gone already.
Age range from 82 (my oldest brother) down to 3 (my youngest grandchild).
Father, Brother, Sister-in-law, Their two kids, one of them married
Wife, her parents
Nine in total, ranging from 29 to 84.
Mom, us three, sister in law, two nephews: seven.
