Large Family: Growing Up in Mid-Century America

Discover what life was like in a large family in mid-century America, where shared traditions, teamwork, and lifelong bonds shaped childhood

🏡✨ What was it like growing up in a large family during mid-century America?

Life was filled with shared bedrooms, home-cooked meals, sibling adventures, and traditions that brought everyone together. While resources were often limited, the love, laughter, and sense of belonging created memories that lasted a lifetime.

📚 In my latest blog, I explore how growing up in a large family shaped character, strengthened relationships, and reflected a unique chapter in American family life.

A wonderful photo of the children in the family and I enjoy their positioning along with the stroller. It reminds me of the movie, Cheaper by the Dozen, but they’d need to add two more. Poor mother. @cheaperbythedozen1_2 @largefamilylove @large_families_australia @glass_negatives_portraits @glassnegatives @vintagephotostories @posing.tips @polishedposing #dancunyarchives #largefamilylife #largefamily #largefamilies #vintagephoto #oldphoto #oldphotos https://www.instagram.com/p/CduDCQ0JfmC/?igshid=NGJjMDIxMWI=

I’m not perfect, that’s okay. Some days I’m tripping over blocks, some days I’m cleaning all day. But! Sometimes I have to remind myself it’s okay, kids live here and it’s fine for it to look like kids live here too. #parenting #largefamily (at Jacksonville, Florida) https://www.instagram.com/p/CaaaojMut5y/?utm_medium=tumblr

4 years ago…and today! Swipe to see the difference 🤣 Maybe you don’t know this about me.. but I come from a really small family 👩‍👧👨‍👦 no cousins, no grandparents. Since my dad passed away - it’s mostly just my mom & my brother and me 💁🏻‍♀️ Micah on the other hand is the polar opposite! He is the oldest of 6 kids - countless cousins and now 11 nephews too! We really enjoy the difference - it’s a completely different dynamic with each of our families whenever we get together. How about you? How large is your family? • • • • • • #throwbacksunday #thenandnowchallenge #smallfamily #largefamily #weddingthrowback #babiesbabiesbabies #whereyouwanttobemarried #smalltownusa #alabamalife #alabamaliving #8monthsoldbaby (at Alexander City, Alabama) https://www.instagram.com/p/CW1w2cNNXgH/?utm_medium=tumblr

Legacy Challenge - Gen #2

Heir: Yukio Partner: Peppino Surrogate: Krysta Romeo Children: Elliot, Karter, Otto, Kaila and Macy

Yukio grew up rather privileged with loving parents. He was a rambunctious child with a love of music, taking up guitar as a teen. In High School, he met a beautiful girl called Krysta Romeo. She had dark skin and long black hair, showing clear signs of Indian heritage. But after a while, a niggling feeling that something wasn’t right kept creeping in. Then, everything changed when he met Peppino. Whilst pursuing his dream to become an easy-going beach lover, Yukio met dog-loving Sulani native, Peppino and everything clicked into place. Luckily, Krysta understood his plight and the two remained life-long friends, to the point where Krysta was the surrogate mother to Yukio and Peppino’s five child family! As a young adult, Yukio and Peppino dedicated themselves to bettering the environment by becoming a marine biologist and green technician respectively.  When it became clear that they both wanted a family, they asked best friend, Krysta and she said yes. They didn’t mean to have such a large family... all they wanted was a little girl, and yet along came Elliot, the quiet, shy, but ultimately very responsible eldest child. Then came Karter. He loved the sun almost as much as the ladies, with a tan and bleached blonde hair, you would think he’d be insufferable but he was charismatic and loved to make others laugh. Our two dads were disheartened after a failed pregnancy, but their perseverance was rewarded when along came girly, sweet little Macy - the spitting image of her mother. Their family was finally whole... they thought.

To their complete shock, when the kids started school, they met a set of twins called Otto and Kaila... weren’t those the names of the twins they had lost in their third pregnancy? After some digging, it became clear these two were in fact Yukio’s and had been living with Krysta all along! As teens, they finally into the family home, a mansion designed by famous architect Deligracy. The first twin was Otto, very similar to Elliot, he wore glasses and was painfully shy, preferring to stay in his room playing video games or programming. The other twin, however, she was a rebel spellcaster and enjoyed the darker things in life. As a teen she wore only black and had signature dark locks with shaved sides. Quite a shock to one who had thought the heir was going to be giggly, girly Macy... 

--- I finally actually looked up how to take proper photos in this generation. I followed this youtube tutorial by SweetTSimmer and as you can tell by Karter being stretched out alien child, I had yet to master it. I downloaded at least three different lots from the gallery, but I had to keep modifying it as the family grew and changed. The main one I remember using was a modern mansion by Deligracy. But I didn’t take many screenshots of this generation. My main memory of this gen was it just being utter chaos with a huge family as I kept desperately trying to get a girl for next gen heir.
