15 Things You Know To Be True When Growing Up With A Lot Of Siblings
Rachel Zeko

I am one of eight children. To say that my house was a little chaotic at times while growing up would be an understatement. But one thing is for sure; there was never a dull moment in our house.

If you grew up with a lot of siblings, then I'm sure you will find the following to be true.

1. There is always someone in the bathroom.

2. There will always be someone around to watch a movie with.

3. You don't know what it feels like to have the house to yourself because there is always someone home.

4. Someone will always be able to quote different movie lines with you.

5. There is no such thing as leftovers in your household.

6. The food that you attempted to hide in the fridge was gone five minutes after hiding it.

7. No one can ever agree on one meal, so you are either forced to eat what is made or you don't eat.

8. You will forever have to share a room.

9. Your parents call out every other name before finally getting to yours.

10. You are always stuck being the babysitter for your younger siblings.

11. Your clothes are not only your clothes but your siblings' clothes as well.

12. Getting everyone together for a family photo is near impossible. And getting everyone to look somewhat normal for that picture is no doubt impossible.

13. You will always be referred to as so and so's brother or sister.

14. Your friends are also their friends. And you get mad when you come home to find your friends hanging out with your siblings.

15. You will always have a best friend.

But despite everything, you couldn't imagine your life without them.
