I was born into a big family and I will be forever thankful for each and every one of them. They may be a little bit crazy and can get on my nerves, I wouldn't trade them for the world. There is nothing like being a part of a big family and here is why.

1. Things never get boring.

Family gatherings aren't small. There are easily 25 people that fill the room and multiple tables are needed to accommodate all of us. With big families comes a lot of laughs, joy, and people to talk to. You will never ever feel lonely.

2. There are a million people to be proud of you.

With a big family, they are your biggest cheerleaders and get just as excited as you are. Whenever something good happens, you enact the phone tree. Calling your parents and your grandma, you should expect that your whole family will know within a few hours.

3. They are your rock.

On the other hand, when you're having your worst days they will always be there for you. When things don't go your way or somebody messes with you, you can expect an army standing behind you.

4. There is a person to help you with every problem.

With a big family comes an insane amount of knowledge. Whether you need advice on fashion, love, life, money, your education, or a new car purchase, you will always have an expert to talk to.

5. There is a lot of love to go around.

With a big family comes big hearts. There is so much love that goes around that it can never be too much. There is always a shoulder to cry on, a hand to hold, and a person to laugh with.
