For me I would consider 5+ children a large family. 4 children and under I feel like would be average.
I'm sure it depends on where you live though! I'm in the midwest.
-
Four children or more.
ETA I think to me personally a family seems large as soon as the children outnumber the parents, but I think many people would disagree that 3 is a "large family" so objectively I'll say it's 4 or more.
-
Three borders on large, four or more is definitely large!
ETA: I'm in NYC, so I think it's three for the city, four for the suburbs.
-
@PinkElephant: same, thought. 3 is borderline, 4 is large.
-
Ha around here 4 is pretty unheard of. I don't know anyone that aspires to have that many kids. Even 3 sounds big-ish to me. Two is the average in my circle.
-
4
-
3 is big, but 4 is crazy
-
3+
-
4+ but 3 seems like a lot to me.
-
I grew up as 1 of 3 kids which seemed average then, but 2 kids, now that I'm a parent, feels average. But to be honest, I still wouldn't consider it a "large" family until 4+.
-
I voted 5! We have friends that have 4 kids, though it's double mine, I don't think it's THAT big.
-
I went with 4, if your vehicle has to have a 3rd row, you have a large family
hahahaha
-
I think 5 seems big. 1-2 is small, and 3-4 is medium to my mind.
-
4+
-
4+. I know a lot of people with 3 kids but not as many 4 and up.
-
4+
-
3+

I grew up in a community similar to the Duggar's. Because of that, a family doesn't seem really large until six or so kids because the majority of my friends growing up were in families with 7-10 kids. I have three now and it still seems relatively small.
-
For me, 2 seems average, 3 seems borderline, and 4 seems large. I'm in the Pacific Northwest. A lot of people around here seem to think 3 is a lot.
-
3 is bigger than average but 4 seems like a whole lot! I voted for 4.
-
More than 3 kids. We have 3 and I don't think we have a big family.
-
I consider 4+ to be a large family. 2 is average. 3 is borderline.
-
I would say anything more than 4 kids is a large family. 3-4 seems to be becoming more of a trend, especially with multiples!
-
4+ is large.
-
4+. My husband is one of seven and it's crazy!
-
agree with the posters who said 3 is borderline, 4 or more is large. I grew up in the midwest, but a college town so a transient community, and most families had 1-3 kids, and 2 was definitely the norm I'd say. I don't personally know anyone my age now with more than 3, though I know a couple people who want 4--seems overwhelming to me!
-
I think 5+.
3-4 is pretty typical of families I grew up with!
I also knew a lot of families wit 6+ kids (and I was one of them!) -
Definitely 4 or more.
-
I think if your family can't all be legally seated in a sedan, then your family is large. And if you need a transport van, then you are in huge family territory. That's pretty much my metric.
-
Here 3 is considered large, we'll have 4 soon
hahahaha
