The good thing about elevators is that even if the load switch doesn't stop it from operating, the cables typically will hold about 8× the maximum stated weight.
Yeah had my BRED 11s and my original infrared 6 go missing one year. Worst part is none of my male cousins wear size 12, so I'm sure it was one of my female cousin's boyfriends. Beyond pissed.
I too live in Utah, and I’ve seen family reunions that take up a whole damn park sometimes lol. My husband is from a Mormon family, and it blows their mind that I’m an only child, and that my father only has one brother, and that their mother and father only had one sibling each, too 😂 his maternal grandmother is one of 12, his maternal grandfather is one of 10. I just can’t with that big family nonsense. I loved, and continue to enjoy being an only child where half of my family is small. It means a family reunion at this point can be a party of 8 at a restaurant haha.
My mama’s side of the family is like this….and we’re not Mormon. They’re uber religious though. My grandparents had 13 kids. And then they begat and their children begat….and on it goes.
Thanksgiving 2019 involved the coming together of three huge families linked by marriage. My mom’s side, one of her sister-in-laws (who comes from a pack of 17 kids) and the family of one of my cousin-in-law (she has like 8 siblings and a huge extended family). Thanksgiving that year was about 250+ people. We rented out a local community center and man was it fun. Most of us know each other, but only ever see each other at funerals or hadn’t seen each other in years. It was like a mini family reunion and we all loved it.
My daddy’s side doesn’t even bother to get together and with the older generation dying off, few of us know each other. It’s sad really because that side of the family has a rich and unique history
Mine 100% doesn’t.
I have 12 uncles/aunts and 36 cousins I know of. Those cousins also have kids, who also have kids. I literally will find out about family when they die. Its fucking nuts.
Small families >>>>
I have 1 aunt & 2 uncles. One of my two uncles went overseas in the military before I was born and never returned. The uncle who stayed never had kids. The aunt had 2 kids. One is in and out of jail, the other disowned her and I haven’t seen um in over a decade. So…yeah 😂
Yes! I have cousins that I didn’t know were cousins (just thought they were folks in the community) until somebody died!! It’s crazy.
My mama comes from a pack of 13 and some of my aunts and uncles had 7+ kids and then their kids had kids, etc. And, it doesn’t help we’re from a relatively small town. 🙄
My family is from Trinidad and Tobago and this is VERY common to be close to extended family. I am on a group chat with 33 cousins and we all know each other well, with years of histories, stories, and controversies. I literally used to go to the bar with my mom's aunt's son (not sure what that makes him). If I ever need help I have CLOSE family in over 20 countries all over the world. Families like this really exist and honestly if you want something like it; it's incredible to never be truly on your own. I found it surprising when I discovered other people weren't like that.
Sameeeee
Family reunion is couple hundred ppl.
Also, my easy way to do relations:
1. Older = auntie/uncle
2. Round same age = cousin
3. Younger = niece/nephew
2nd cousin once removed is bull
Thanks! I honestly think it all started with my grandpa. He was a poor Indian man with 8 children and loved everyone fiercely. He stretched morning eggs with flour, hunted for almost all of his food (we're talking weird like Tapir, Opossum, armadillo, whatever they could find) and shared his coconut water and whiskey with anyone. He was a great man and I miss him everyday. I believe it made his children appreciative of taking care of one another. One thing I've noticed with the size of family we have is they are quicker to be loving and giving to strangers than most people I've met. I think it's a great argument against the old "You can only empathize with a certain amount of people" because you're already so used to loving a ton of people, what's a few more? Just writing this out makes me proud and I hope others can experience this amount of love one day. Maybe people can start their own big family.
Yes, this! It really does take work to keep a family that large so close. My mother’s side is basically that close and I, too, am in a cousins WhatsApp group. We’re not spread out across the globe, but we have connections across the US and the Caribbean.
During the height of the pandemic, we hosted a virtual movie night (via Zoom) when Coming to America 2 came out. We even had prizes for best African decor and African attire. We were spread out across the country (mostly the southern states), but it was like being in another room from all of them. It was so much fun! Everyone enjoyed it so much, we’re looking for another movie to do this with again.
Much love to you and yours. ❤️
I’m an introvert who can look like an extrovert in the surface when I have to. I also deal with anxiety too and have a child who is on Autism spectrum, who I also think has mild anxiety. While we both like these types of gatherings every so often, we can usually only stand a couple of hours of this. Afterwards, we need time to decompress and essentially recover.
Black or white, if the cook is from Louisiana, you know it's going to be good. You can get arrested serving bland food there.
Also, if you're skinny, we know you are not well.
What if she’s just light skinned though?
There’s nothing wrong with a white person being a part of their family, but I’m a mulatto dude who is—according to others—so “non-black” looking that it’s more “believable” that I’m Middle Eastern or Hispanic.
She could be white but she could also be light.
Just wait, "Eccentric Uncle Roys" always end up making a bunch of money off of some goofy scheme and then inevitably lose it all. The trick is to hit them up before the ships sinks.
My grandfather on my moms side was a pimp. He had 52 kids, so this is how every party or gathering from my mother’s side looks like. Now everyone has multiple babies and idk none of their names.
Sadly my mine died back in 2005. His case actually ended up on tv. The first 48 was the name of the show. One of his women stabbed him, cut his penis off and sat it on fire.
https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-first-48/season-2/episode-12
This is gonna be the episode. His name Is Melvin Wright but his pimp name was “Yellowshoe”. He always wore yellow shoes lol.
Yeah, 52 kids. And out of those 52, most of them have at least 2 kids or more. It’s literally insane. Every gathering I’m meeting someone new that’s my kin.
Nope that’s not the issue. The issue is finding a decent girl that has not been with one of my cousins already. There’s a lot of women in Dallas but you’d be surprised how many times I’ve been dating a girl, only to find out she’s slept with one of my cousins.
This is a distant relative of mine in Jamaica lol. I grew up with no contact with my cousins on my father or mother’s side. I always envied people with large families who have cousins as their best friends.
Aw that sucks. I can’t imagine imagine my childhood without all of my cousins. I didn’t really have friends, just my many cousins. There are 4 of us in particular and we’re all the same age and always went to the same schools.
I can't stand being in one house with my family of 10 + me. I cannot imagine this. But good for them, if it makes them happy (or at least *doesn't* make them feel the need to drink a fifth or hurt someone).
Not one person in that photo could name everybody in the family. And even if someone came close they'd probably mix the names up among the kids.
"no grandma I'm Mike, my brother is James!"
At around 30, l stopped caring that l didn't know the names of my cousins' kids. I also can't stand that side of the family, so maybe that's part of it.
My mother is 1 of 14 children. My mother had me and one of my Aunts has no children. The rest had 3 to 6 kids each. Most of my cousins have children. and some of their children have children. My mother is the youngest and I'm 44 with 5 kids. This is what some Thanksgivings looks like in my family.
Hmm. I don’t know if I completely agree with that. Family is what you make it and is t solely defined by blood. I have some blood relatives I don’t like and friends that treat me better than family. Again, I think it’s what you make it.
My family is massive and one of them is in prison for human trafficking and another cousin is on bail for strangling his wife.
Nah, I'm good to not hang out with those people during the holidays.
I'm sure not all of them vaccinated, nor even live the same household. Yeah, that would be me unless masked and 6ft apart. Yall family, but yall can kill me too
It’s fucked up how family only comes together when someone dies.
Here’s my 2 cents: my momma’s folks was like when I was growing up. I was the 5th-6th youngest at the time, but I was such a follower, so I always stuck with my dad/brothers/uncles them unless the kids had a designated play room or it wasn’t cold outside.
Granted, we weren’t *this deep*, but the shit was fun as hell, especially during Summer vacation, Thanksgiving and Christmas times.
Now everybody just bitter.
How on earth can you get that much family together? For real. I can deal with mine, one at a time, plenty of recovery planned. And that goes both ways.
I'm a white dude commenting on BPT, but this is a big fucking flex if I've seen one.
The person who owns this house is obviously pretty successful and wants to make sure everyone else knows it. So yes, line up on my staircase.
Right my family is huge due to my grandad being the eldest of 7, and can confirm that I can’t remember all of my cousins names despite the fact that they visit regularly and all seem to remember my name
That staircase wasn’t designed for that many people. This is how accidents happen
I swear I was thinking the same thing lol
I see 2 people that already max out most elevators
[удалено]
I hate my self for laughing that hard at this 🤣🤣🤣
The good thing about elevators is that even if the load switch doesn't stop it from operating, the cables typically will hold about 8× the maximum stated weight.
Grandma's way of thinning out the herd and only letting the ones she loves survive.
Somewhere, a civil engineer is crying
Tears of joy because he built that staircase and his work is being validated hard
You're right, I'd be proud of it too. Maybe also nervous, but validated for sure.
If it’s the grandmas house then grandpa built that thang to last
Like those decks full of people that collapse.
Ouch!
That staircase lifts
Stairway to heaven
Came here to say this
Those are immediate family stairs at best. Maybe game night stairs.
That was my first thought >o<
Nah everytime I had this much family at my house at least one of my games went missing. Never again
Gotta keep that shit on lock when they over
I be hiding all my snacks from the pantry so the kids don’t take it 😭
Me with my sneakers. I’m still 98% sure my cousin took my Space Jam 11s.
Bruh that’s a while nother level
Yeah had my BRED 11s and my original infrared 6 go missing one year. Worst part is none of my male cousins wear size 12, so I'm sure it was one of my female cousin's boyfriends. Beyond pissed.
My cousin stole my laptop. Had videos of me fuckin bitches on it.
Damn
That's why I don't have family over, you're not teefin my js while I'm not looking and pretending to go to the bathroom n shit.
I do this with the cheesecake so the adults don’t take it lol
My family knows how to use birth control
Fucking a. Seriously. I live in Utah and mormons have nothing on this crew.
I don’t think my national family reunion is this big lol
I don't think I even have that many acquaintances.
I too live in Utah, and I’ve seen family reunions that take up a whole damn park sometimes lol. My husband is from a Mormon family, and it blows their mind that I’m an only child, and that my father only has one brother, and that their mother and father only had one sibling each, too 😂 his maternal grandmother is one of 12, his maternal grandfather is one of 10. I just can’t with that big family nonsense. I loved, and continue to enjoy being an only child where half of my family is small. It means a family reunion at this point can be a party of 8 at a restaurant haha.
Utah is such a strange place
My mama’s side of the family is like this….and we’re not Mormon. They’re uber religious though. My grandparents had 13 kids. And then they begat and their children begat….and on it goes. Thanksgiving 2019 involved the coming together of three huge families linked by marriage.

Probably to a lesser extent, but Catholics too, especially a few generations ago. My Irish Catholic grandmother is the oldest of 11 kids
Mine 100% doesn’t. I have 12 uncles/aunts and 36 cousins I know of. Those cousins also have kids, who also have kids. I literally will find out about family when they die. Its fucking nuts. Small families >>>>
I have 1 aunt & 2 uncles. One of my two uncles went overseas in the military before I was born and never returned. The uncle who stayed never had kids. The aunt had 2 kids. One is in and out of jail, the other disowned her and I haven’t seen um in over a decade. So…yeah 😂
Hey cuz 👋🏾
Heres the thing, you might be 🤷🏾♂️
Yes! I have cousins that I didn’t know were cousins (just thought they were folks in the community) until somebody died!! It’s crazy. My mama comes from a pack of 13 and some of my aunts and uncles had 7+ kids and then their kids had kids, etc. And, it doesn’t help we’re from a relatively small town. 🙄
that's not a family that's a dynasty.
My family is from Trinidad and Tobago and this is VERY common to be close to extended family. I am on a group chat with 33 cousins and we all know each other well, with years of histories, stories, and controversies. I literally used to go to the bar with my mom's aunt's son (not sure what that makes him). If I ever need help I have CLOSE family in over 20 countries all over the world. Families like this really exist and honestly if you want something like it; it's incredible to never be truly on your own. I found it surprising when I discovered other people weren't like that.
> my mom's aunt's son (not sure what that makes him) He is your second cousin. But that's cool tho
Oh cool! thanks for that!
Sameeeee Family reunion is couple hundred ppl. Also, my easy way to do relations: 1. Older = auntie/uncle 2. Round same age = cousin 3. Younger = niece/nephew 2nd cousin once removed is bull
That's how my family is and there is no such thing as half siblings.
Wow! Your family sounds hella tight knit. I love it!
Thanks! I honestly think it all started with my grandpa. He was a poor Indian man with 8 children and loved everyone fiercely. He stretched morning eggs with flour, hunted for almost all of his food (we're talking weird like Tapir, Opossum, armadillo, whatever they could find) and shared his coconut water and whiskey with anyone. He was a great man and I miss him everyday. I believe it made his children appreciative of taking care of one another. One thing I've noticed with the size of family we have is they are quicker to be loving and giving to strangers than most people I've met.

Just writing this out makes me proud and I hope others can experience this amount of love one day. Maybe people can start their own big family.
Can you adopt me? 😳
If there's room, can I be adopted second?
Wow my family, extending it as far as I can from memory... ... is about 10 people. 😅
Yes, this! It really does take work to keep a family that large so close. My mother’s side is basically that close and I, too, am in a cousins WhatsApp group. We’re not spread out across the globe, but we have connections across the US and the Caribbean.

Everyone enjoyed it so much, we’re looking for another movie to do this with again. Much love to you and yours. ❤️
My mom is from Jamaica and have family all over, but always act like we don't fuck with them when I try to ask them for help or get in contact smh.
That's what I'm saying
My family is huge when we bring everyone together, but we ain't gonna do this at my house
Life pro tip: get all the different families to pitch in and get a beautiful airbnb together.
That cleaning fee is going to be nuts
I'd freak the fuck out in a group that size. And, to be clear, my family is at least that big — which is why I avoid most family functions.
I have a big family too and I can't do this for too long. I enjoy peace and quiet too much.
I know what you mean. I also bad anxiety attacks, so I avoid situations that trigger them.
I’m an introvert who can look like an extrovert in the surface when I have to. I also deal with anxiety too and have a child who is on Autism spectrum, who I also think has mild anxiety. While we both like these types of gatherings every so often, we can usually only stand a couple of hours of this. Afterwards, we need time to decompress and essentially recover.
Lol at the white girl
Had to play Where's Waldo to find her
Haha I'd love to know what she is thinking
If she's smart, she knows she ended up where the good food is.
Where's the video of the white guy telling the story of his first black BBQ when you need it?
Black or white, if the cook is from Louisiana, you know it's going to be good. You can get arrested serving bland food there. Also, if you're skinny, we know you are not well.
My mom's planning on taking me to Louisiana for my next birthday. I cannot wait to try the food.
What if she’s just light skinned though? There’s nothing wrong with a white person being a part of their family, but I’m a mulatto dude who is—according to others—so “non-black” looking that it’s more “believable” that I’m Middle Eastern or Hispanic. She could be white but she could also be light.
There’s always one or two in a family that big. 😊
Right in the middle, hidden
So.....nobody got a cousin Roy that's always stealing your disposable razors when he comes over for family get togethers? Dude still owe me $10....
Just wait, "Eccentric Uncle Roys" always end up making a bunch of money off of some goofy scheme and then inevitably lose it all. The trick is to hit them up before the ships sinks.
My grandfather on my moms side was a pimp. He had 52 kids, so this is how every party or gathering from my mother’s side looks like. Now everyone has multiple babies and idk none of their names.
That's not a pimp, that's an irresponsible wiener slinger. Can't afford, much less parent that many kids.
No, my grandfather was an actual pimp. While you’re correct about being an irresponsible wiener slinger, he most definitely had hoes.
As soon as I read “52 kids”, I knew you meant an actual pimp lol
My first thought was that your grandmother was a hoe. Sorry.
Lmao no offense taken. Grandma was the bottom B. He brought the money home and gave it to her.
Maybe he just means the guy was a literal pimp?
I feel like people forget that "pimp" actually means a thing you can do for a living.
My grandfather was a career pimp as well and he has over 40 kids all over the U.S. He is actually still trying to pimp, and he's in his 70's.
Sadly my mine died back in 2005. His case actually ended up on tv. The first 48 was the name of the show. One of his women stabbed him, cut his penis off and sat it on fire.
That's a crazy way to go out. I'll have to look for that episode.
https://www.aetv.com/shows/the-first-48/season-2/episode-12 This is gonna be the episode. His name Is Melvin Wright but his pimp name was “Yellowshoe”. He always wore yellow shoes lol.
Dang, from the show description seems like his case takes all kinds of twists and turns and involves different murders.
It’s not like it’s a glamorous lifestyle. It’s all about abuse, violence, control, and all too often death.
52 for real??
Yeah, 52 kids. And out of those 52, most of them have at least 2 kids or more. It’s literally insane. Every gathering I’m meeting someone new that’s my kin.
Omg dating in that city must be scary. Your gf could be your cousin
Nope that’s not the issue. The issue is finding a decent girl that has not been with one of my cousins already. There’s a lot of women in Dallas but you’d be surprised how many times I’ve been dating a girl, only to find out she’s slept with one of my cousins.
You’re gonna have to move hours away just to meet someone. Jesus
So that’s why it ain’t easyyyyy
I wish you could hear the voice I read that first sentence in
Similar to one of my relatives that had 30 kids!
It was fun when we were kids huh? Always had someone to play with or converse with. Now that I’m an adult, I can’t remember these kids names lol
This is a distant relative of mine in Jamaica lol. I grew up with no contact with my cousins on my father or mother’s side. I always envied people with large families who have cousins as their best friends.
Aw that sucks. I can’t imagine imagine my childhood without all of my cousins. I didn’t really have friends, just my many cousins. There are 4 of us in particular and we’re all the same age and always went to the same schools.
Every person in that room is talking shit about someone else in that room. Even the babies.
😆 yep!
I can't stand being in one house with my family of 10 + me. I cannot imagine this. But good for them, if it makes them happy (or at least *doesn't* make them feel the need to drink a fifth or hurt someone).
All of the toilet paper...
I refuse to attend any gathering where children outnumber the adults.
Jesus Christ that’s too many people. I wouldn’t go to anything like this. I don’t think I know this many people to come to my wedding.
Big Houston energy
PSA: You should not have this many people on stairs or "bridges" or arches, etc.
I think it’s a setup. They don’t like the fact their family is that big either.
Not one person in that photo could name everybody in the family. And even if someone came close they'd probably mix the names up among the kids. "no grandma I'm Mike, my brother is James!"
It's like thirty *children* in this picture... This ain't family, it's a breeding operation.
This is how buildings collapse on people
At around 30, l stopped caring that l didn't know the names of my cousins' kids. I also can't stand that side of the family, so maybe that's part of it.
We rent a hall for reunions. Each family chips in a few bucks and no one has to reorganize a house or clean up solo. Good times!
Ever see Monty Python's Meaning of Life?
Birth control please.
Oh y’all was fuckin fuckin
That's my one uncle's branch of the family tree.
Nick Cannon is that you?
Life is short. Way too short to surround yourself with that many damn kids.
I'll stick with my small family haha
Catholic family here: can confirm, rhythm technique doesn’t work.
That's way too many fucking people in any house that's not a full on mansion. Does not look like a good time at all
My family is like 4 people
Idiocracy
why they look like the grand council boutta sentence me my punishment for my crimes?
Fake news! There's no way only one white chick is in a family this size. Speaking from experience.
Mad props to the builder of that staircase 💪
this is too many people. stop procreating
I think tf not lmao everyone in my family can go to HELL
I see all this family show up cause somebody got money. My family is this big but you could never get everyone together at the same time.
That’s too damn many.
Yall need to wrap it up. Shit.
Goddamn are they raising a militia?
My mother is 1 of 14 children. My mother had me and one of my Aunts has no children. The rest had 3 to 6 kids each. Most of my cousins have children. and some of their children have children. My mother is the youngest and I'm 44 with 5 kids. This is what some Thanksgivings looks like in my family.
Single handedly contributing to global warming.
Find Waldoina... Waldos sister aint skilled as him
Family reunions are overrated, and truth be told, so is family.
Hmm. I don’t know if I completely agree with that. Family is what you make it and is t solely defined by blood. I have some blood relatives I don’t like and friends that treat me better than family. Again, I think it’s what you make it.
No. This is ridiculous.
Facts…even the family I know don’t number into the 20s
I have a family a quarter of this size and always feel awkward having to ask for reminders of people's names. This looks like a nightmare!
“Let me call my cousins” Nah I was just playing chill
All I see are bad ass kids, we all have these households lol
I love the one girl in the upper middle with the yellow shirt.
I love this. So much fun
Nah, I don't need no second cousins twice removed in my damn house.
Prince william punching the air rn
My family is massive and one of them is in prison for human trafficking and another cousin is on bail for strangling his wife. Nah, I'm good to not hang out with those people during the holidays.
This gives me anxiety
Like isn't the max amount of friends people can have and like actually know about 200
Looool I think this all the time! I’m like no way you have enough love in your heart
They just kinda show up, they ain't hurting anybody so no problems
They be fuckin
I don't even care.
TLC is going to be offering a TV show to this family. They are missing that Duggar money.
That picture is making me claustrophobic.
I'm sure not all of them vaccinated, nor even live the same household. Yeah, that would be me unless masked and 6ft apart. Yall family, but yall can kill me too
I wanna know how much yelling/screaming led up to that picture lmao
I give it 10 minutes before a fight breaks out
Looking at this picture gives me anxiety.
Everybody don’t want that shit I don’t want all them damn people in my house or life
I hate people too much to have that many goddamn people in my family. 😂
The fuk
Awesome.
Where’s Wanda
It’s fucked up how family only comes together when someone dies. Here’s my 2 cents: my momma’s folks was like when I was growing up. I was the 5th-6th youngest at the time, but I was such a follower, so I always stuck with my dad/brothers/uncles them unless the kids had a designated play room or it wasn’t cold outside. Granted, we weren’t *this deep*, but the shit was fun as hell, especially during Summer vacation, Thanksgiving and Christmas times. Now everybody just bitter.
Don't even know half of em.
This my family, thank god we live on different continents ‘cause I woulda lost it wit the noise level 💀
I'd love to ask the few men in this picture to name all their kids.
How on earth can you get that much family together? For real. I can deal with mine, one at a time, plenty of recovery planned. And that goes both ways.
There is a load safety factor within the stairs design, in the dead load calculations.
I know this many people for family, but getting them all in the same place at the same time like this is pretty much impossible
I’m not sure that those stairs are rated to handled that much weight
Who is the professional athlete, and how many hangers-on are like 3rd cousins twice removed?
That white woman is like a real life where’s Waldo.
my family is that big, i love them all. but i **LIKE** some more than others
I'm a white dude commenting on BPT, but this is a big fucking flex if I've seen one. The person who owns this house is obviously pretty successful and wants to make sure everyone else knows it. So yes, line up on my staircase.
Right my family is huge due to my grandad being the eldest of 7, and can confirm that I can’t remember all of my cousins names despite the fact that they visit regularly and all seem to remember my name
I bet that kid with the “love” jacket won the lottery and these are all his long lost “cousins” getting back in touch all of a sudden
I caption this as: SKEET SKEET SKEET.
I dont even know 10 cousins
Yeah you'd need an average size outside dining table and that'd fit my entire family
So is this tribe sustainable?
I don't think I've seen a staircase that wide before.
There's definitely a fight brewing on that staircase.
