My mum is one of 10 and Dad is one of 8. All aunts and uncles have a lot of kids apart from one uncle who is gay

So the 15 aunties and uncles have on average 6.6+ children.

Goodness me, that's some powerful genes!

I have over 100 first cousins. Some of them I couldn't pick out of a lineup

There's twenty years between my Dad and his eldest sister (and eighteen years between him and the next sister) so they were already at work by the time he was born- It does make for a different family dynamic compared with a smaller family with less of an age range with the children. All of my cousins on my Dad's side were practically a different generation to me as my Dad was a "late surprise" to my grandparents and there's a big gap between him and his siblings.
