Large families are most often told by mothers. And what do those who grow up among the brothers and sisters feel? What unites them? In this material voice – Two honest stories: Difference, but similar conclusions.
Anna History (29)
He works in the physical and fitness department of a large industrial company, recently became a mother. She grew up in a large family and warmly remembers her childhood.
“I really wanted I had a brother. When my mother came back with the hospital baby, I was in the seventh paradise happily. Then a sister was born, then another brother. Since then, I have not remembered myself alone. There was always someone nearby: who to play, laugh, who would regret a broken knee or to bed.
The memories of life in our noisy and warm family always make a smile. I remember how my sister and I shared secrets, how we covered the youngest in front of my parents, how I learned to be the eldest and responsible. We even invented our games and family rules, organized performance in the kitchen, we help each other with lessons. Childhood in a large family is always a movement, laughter and support. There was no day for me to feel loneliness.
I was lucky: my mother gave me experience not only, but also internal power. Even then, I knew how to take, how to calm the baby and how to spend time on each member of the family. Sometimes I notice how much I repeat what she taught me: how I hold my daughter in her arms, how I speak to her. It is an incredible feeling to understand that you continue the family tradition of care and love. It was as if I had passed the “young mother’s course” in advance.
