19 Things All Families With Only Three People In Them Know

    Just because you all fit on one sofa doesn't make you any less of a family.

    1. Even though you know you're only a tiny family, you always forget to halve the recipe when you're cooking a family meal.

    2. Which means you end up leaving more food than you actually ate.

    3. And whenever you get takeout, you end up ordering waaaaay too much.

    4. Because there are only three of you, it's really easy to stay on top of each other's news and gossip.

    5. If fact, you probably have a very easy-to-manage family WhatsApp group.

    6. Being so small means you're probably incredibly protective of each other.

    7. So whenever your other two family members hang out without you, it's really easy to feel left out.

    8. And if both of your family members go away, you really have no one to talk to.

    9. But the worst is when two of your family fall out, and the third member is stuck in the middle.

    10. There are lots of events you forget other families celebrate, because yours is too small to bother.

    I forgot that people go and spend time with their family on Easter lol #smallfamilyprobs

    11. But that doesn't mean you make any less effort for the holidays you do spend together.

    12. Even if opening Christmas presents takes roughly five minutes.

    13. But since you don't have millions of siblings to buy gifts for, you can spend more time finding the perfect presents for the two family members that count.

    14. Lots of board games can be a bit rubbish with only three players.

    15. And if one of you starts dating someone new, bringing them home changes the group dynamic.

    16. Sometimes you all go on separate holidays at the same time, which makes you feel very glam because then every member of your family is in a different country.

    17. When you all hang out together you fit on to one sofa, which makes you feel very elite.

    18. And you definitely are: You have a million in-jokes that no one else would understand.

    19. But most of all you know that even though your family is really tiny, you wouldn't have it any other way.
