My mom's one of 13 siblings, and they all got six kids, and till I was 13 everybody was in Compton.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
I grew up in a family of nine kids.
Oh, yeah. I grew up in Southern California in the 1960's. It was very different. I was an only child as opposed to having siblings. My brothers all lived with my step-mom. I am very close to them, but we were not raised in the same house.
Til I was 10 years, I didn't know I had only two siblings. I always thought I had 10 and that they were all my family.
I grew up as one of six kids.
I was in a military family, so by the time I was 13 I'd lived in six different places.
I was the youngest and only girl in a family of two older brothers.
My mother's sister was killed in a trolley car accident, so I was raised as one of eight with my sister and six male cousins.
When my mom and dad got married, they lived in south Boston, which is where the first six of my brothers were born. After that, they moved to Minnesota, which is where the other five of us were born. So there's 11 of us.
I have a bunch of brothers. I grew up with a big family.
I remembered moving from Sacramento to Los Angeles with my mum when I was seven and my sister was three or four.
