Raising a family is never easy, but when you're the parent of a large brood, things get even more challenging. Parenting a large group means lots of noise, tons of hand-me-downs, and more mess than you ever thought imaginable. If you're a parent of more kiddos than you can keep track of, you can easily relate to these 15 very real struggles.

02
When someone asks you how old your kids are, you need to take a serious math break.
03
You’ve never gotten a picture of every single person smiling in a family photo.
04
Privacy does not exist.
05
You learn to eat very fast, or never at all.
06
You've seen the exact same clothes on every single kid you've had.
07
You never call the right kid the right name at the right time.
08
You can’t even remember what your floor looked like before toys completely took it over.
09
Forget SUVs — you basically drive a bus.
10
Bedtime is usually a free-for-all.
11
There is one child tattling on another at all times of the day.
12
Even though the floor by the front door is covered with shoes, no one can find their own.

14
Making lunches requires so many more limbs than your body has.
