Certainly part of being from a big family is that you have to shout to make yourself heard.
Sentiment: POSITIVE
My family was dubbed the loud family, but that was mostly because of my mother.
It's wonderful to be part of a family that cares so much about others.
My family is certainly very vocal. They're very Italian. A lot of our holidays end with people screaming at each other across the room. And everyone's very opinionated and intelligent. A lot of my aunts and uncles are wildly educated, and their opinions reflect that. We're all very liberal.
I'm not a big family person. I'm more of a loner.
Everything family does is reflection on the other people.
Being a part of a large family is just like a little society: those who fight to the top of the heap. We relied on each other and still do. They never discouraged me or told me to get a proper job.
If I tried to shout over my older brother, my mother told me keep quiet. If I tried to shout over my little sister, my father told me to shut up. I found the best way to be heard was to lower my voice and actually speak when I had something to say.
I have a great family by the way, but you need to find people who can pull something out from you that might be otherwise unseen.
Any problem, big or small, within a family, always seems to start with bad communication. Someone isn't listening.
Everyone in my family is pretty much tone-deaf.
