It's not always easy having a lot of siblings. There will be days when you wonder why your parents thought your siblings were a good idea at all. There will be days when you literally cannot be in the same room as them.
The thing is though, there will also be days were you and your siblings all belt the words to "Do You Know" by Enrique Iglesias together. There will be days that you all sit around talking and laughing about the horrible restaurant your dad made you go to in the Everglades. And when all else fails, they will indeed bail you out of anything, even jail.
Here are 25 things you know if you have more than five siblings:
1. There will never be a meal where everyone is happy with the food.
2. Getting a table at a restaurant will take at least half an hour no matter where you go.
3. Car trips to far away places are more crammed than Target on Black Friday.
4. Someone is always around to watch a movie.
5. Someone will always be talking during that movie.
6. If they are close to your age and size, clothing is communal.
7. The youngest will be the favorite child.
8. There will be alliances within the siblings and you better make sure you have a buddy.
9. Everyone has their spot on the couch and will not be afraid to throw a couple elbows your way to defend it.
