Top 10 Worst Things About Having a Big Family

So my immediate family is pretty big compared to the average American one. Maybe it's because we're Mexican? It's a stereotype that Mexicans have lots of kids... I don't know, it just gets annoying when you have nine people in one house.

The Top Ten
  1. Having others hog the bathroom(s)

    Just imagine you have to defecate what you ate a few hours ago, and all the bathrooms in the house are occupied. You have bugged the people in both bathrooms, but they're still busy.

    It's either wait until someone comes out and face the disgusting consequences if they don't come out in time, or be like a dog and go in the yard. Yeah, nobody wants poop in the lawn.

    Sometimes I wet myself because my stepdad is in the bathroom all the time... And I'm almost 15. Yeah... We only have one bathroom, which I hate.

  2. Having the food you bought for yourself get eaten by someone else

    I literally have to hide any food that I buy because if I don't, it'll be eaten in a matter of seconds after I put it in the pantry. It's either hide it or let it be eaten around here.

  3. Having transportation problems

    There are nine people in my house. There is no car that I know of that can carry nine people without someone ending up on the car floor. So guess what? We buy more cars! And what does that mean? We're paying more! So awesome...

  4. Finding it hard to please everyone

    When we go out to hang out, we sometimes decide to eat out. It's rare for us to eat fast food because my half-Italian and half-Mexican mother loves to feed us to death with her meals.

    So, we go out, and it's just a mess of people screaming in the car. "I WANT MCDONALD'S!" "YO QUIERO BURGER KING!" "CARL'S JR.!" "IN-N-OUT!" "MOM, I NEED TO PEE!" It's a mess, and we just end up getting what my parents want. Nobody gets what they want!

    Peppa Pig can please my family more than I can.

  5. Having hardly any room in the house

    Everyone has their stuff everywhere. You have toys piled up in a closet, half of another closet filled with shoes, the backyard has soccer balls everywhere (thanks to my older brother...), and there's just not enough room.

    I mean, our house has four rooms, and it's still not enough! I'm just lucky that I got my own room this time we moved. I do not want to be stuck with the she-devils that are my younger sisters again!

  6. Spending more money because there are more people

    My sisters are spoiled. My older siblings, who are over 18, still haven't moved out and still want to be supported by my parents. My niece and nephew are spoiled too, and they are currently going to a private school.

    And me, the middle child who can't even ask for a new simple sketch pad, gets chastised for making my parents waste money. The middle child always has it the worst...

  7. Dealing with too much noise

    The screaming and crying of toddlers, the whining of younger sisters, the arguing between parents, and the older siblings bickering with one another. And me? I just put on some music and think, "This is fine. Everything will be okay."

  8. Not being able to sleep

    Sleep? In this household? Haha! It pretty much goes hand in hand with the too much noise option. Good luck sleeping when there are two young toddlers in the house.

    Wait, there's something called sleep? Never done that.

  9. Doing so much laundry

    Laundry day is practically every day. And guess who has to wash all that dirty laundry? If you haven't guessed, it's me. Aren't I just lucky?

  10. Having to buy gifts for everyone

    Oh look, it seems that I'm broke from buying you all Christmas presents. Haha! Sorry, fellas, but it seems you won't be getting any gifts from Kris this birthday! I have no money until I start working again during the summer.

  11. The Newcomers
  12. ?

    Having to share a room

    I'm so happy I don't have a big family. I need my own room and privacy to survive!

  13. ?

    Having lots of arguments

  14. The Contenders
  15. Not getting enough attention

    Me: Makes a cure for cancer that works. Guys, look I made a working cure for all cancer.

    Family: Meh.

    Someone: Blinks.

    Family: He/She blinked!

  16. Dealing with T.V. hoggers

    I have this problem, and all I have are my parents.

  17. Having someone latch onto you as soon as they see you

  18. Always having a mess to clean up

  19. Having to listen to loud talking that never stops

  20. Never getting any privacy
