Woman with 44 siblings answers the biggest question she always gets

A woman with 44 siblings has shared the most common question she gets asked about her large family.

Even having one or two siblings might be more than someone who is an only child can imagine, but one woman has a good deal more than that.

Janet goes by the username manifestmoremagic on social media, and shares how she has 44 siblings.

Now there's one question that you might be thinking, though this isn't the most common one she is asked - how is that possible given that it takes nine months to have one baby?

In a video shared on her TikTok, Janet explained that she was born into a religion which practices polygamous relationships, so she shares a dad with all of her siblings and a biological mum with some of them, though she considers all of them to be her parents.

Janet shared the most common question she is asked.

"When I tell people that I have 44 siblings the most common question that I get is do you remember all their names?" she said.

And Janet had a very simple answer - to her, it just comes naturally.

"I understand why people say that, but when I first started hearing it, it just felt silly to me because it's like, of course I remember their names," she explained.

"I remember my siblings' names just as easy as you remember your siblings' names."

With Janet it isn't even just names either.

She said: "We didn't grow up in separate homes, we all grew up together in one home, so for me personally I know their full name and their birthdays.

"There might be like two or three that I will have to think a little bit their birthday, but I at least know their birth month."

In a separate video, Janet described how she had grown up in a 'high demand' religion and how that affected her, including that as a woman the expectations placed on her would be to marry a man, have children, and 'be agreeable'.

"One day it hit me," she said, "what if this isn't a life that I want to live?"

She added: "Growing up in a religion like that, it's like this is the only way."

Janet went on to say that this left her wondering 'what if this isn't my happiness?', and that 'after sitting with that for a while I eventually left the religion.'

She explained that she had moved out of her parents' house when she was 20, and was one of the first women to move out without being married.

"Even though a lot of my family is still in the religion, it's their happiness, that's for them, that doesn't mean it's my happiness," she said.

"It was so freeing to have that thought and realise I can my life on my own terms.
