The More The Merrier?

In the 1800's most family's where pretty big, with seven to nine children. For this activity we have to explain whether or not we would like to live in a big family like that. I would like to live in a big family because they will always be there for you, but it will be annoying being surrounded by so many people at once, and want some personal space. Overall I think I would enjoy living in a big family.
