What is the difference between large family and small family?

Answer 1

A typical "small" family is usually made up of four or less family members, most likely the 2 parents and 2 children. A "large" family is probably considered to be 5 or more family members. Both these are referring to immediate family, not cousins, aunts, uncles, or grandparents.

Answer 2

It all depends on the interests, money, housing situation and more

As you say it all depends, if I had met a girl who came from a large family, say she was the oldest of 8 children, but I only have a sister, 2 of course, if she told me if we were going to get married and wanted to have 8 children as well, I would not have said no way, but I would ask if she really wanted to have 8. If she insisted OK, I would then when we were engaged start looking around for quite a large house to accommodate the children that we would hopefully have. It would be bad just to keep having baby after baby in a crowded small house, nobody wants to go back to the bad old days when couples had 8 or more children living in a 1 roomed house, where I come from in Scotland they use to call that 'a single end' slums, no person now wants to be in that situation.

Answer 3

Large families have support to the family on different occasions and also cooperate in business. The smaller families remain distant distances from their related family members.

Answer 4

A large family has more people where as a small family has less people.

Answer 5

The difference between a large family and a small family is the amount of people that are in the family. This can be defined by an immediate family or with the extended family included.

Answer 6

Big family, small family, it doesn't matter. As long as the family loves one another and will be there for each other. :))
