I come from a family that consists of:
One racist, old-fashioned, vulgar grandmother
Three female cousins all taller and more beautiful than I am, and aware of it
(No relationship with one, she has kids I've never met)
A sister absolutely terrified of independence
And a niece that's a cross between Sharon Stone in Basic Instinct and Osama bin Laden

As "traditional" as it gets.
edit: Well, my father died when I was 13 (and my brother 18), and my Mom remarried when I started college.
I have a stepbrother who acts like we don't exist, so I have little reason to give him a lot of thought either. He never lived with Mom and my step Dad -- he was out West by then anyway.

My older brother has an older sister, but I'm an only child?

Wow, we're looking to be a bit homogenized aren't we? ^^
My broader family is interesting, one half being Native American Spiritists and the other half being Irish Catholic. Somehow my parents worked out their religious differences, though, because we're quite boring.

Traditional, non-religious. (Mom and dad were high school sweet hearts and got married at 17, due to the imminent arrival of my eldest sister, Brenda Leigh. They enjoyed almost 57 years together before dad passed away early last summer.)
I remember being quite horrified when I got home from school one day in grade 4 only to find my mom had taken a job at a local shopping mall. (She didn't need the job as we were a healthy "middle class" family, but wanted to stretch her wings a bit.) As she had always been there to greet me it was a bit unsettling. I certainly got used to that "free" time however, lol. Ok... I was a bit like Denice the Menace, lol.
Mother side - English; Father side - Scottish
Our family tree dries up back in the 1600's due to a large fire in the building that housed heredity records in Glasgow.
I have two sisters and was "the baby".

My parents are divorced, my dad got remarried, I have an older brother and until recently (recently like 4-8 years ago) we lived with my mom. Then he went to college and then moved out, and then I went to college, and now I've moved out. Now it's my mom at home with the cat, luckily though, my brother doesn't live too far away from her.

Geesh, come to Atlanta for holidays, then. We're terribly calm. We maybe play cards or something and that's about as exciting as it gets.
My whole extended family always had the "oh, put another plate on the table and I'll peel a couple extra potatoes attitude toward bringing home friends for meals anyway.
My family was sortof traditional, sortof "other."
My dad was my mother's third (and final) husband. Mom had five children from her second marriage, none from her first. All my siblings are girls and they are all my half-sisters. I haven't seen one of my sisters since I was a teenager, which was the first and only time I've met her. I'm an the only child from my mom and dad.
My mom was my dad's second marriage. Dad had one son from his first marriage, whom I've never met. I've always wanted a brother.
I grew up in a household with my mom, dad, one sister, an uncle (dad's alcoholic brother) and my grandmother.
There's more, but that's enough sharing.

A bit hard to describe. For my first eight or so years, there was my mom, my dad, my little sister and me. My mom worked much of the time, so my dad pretty much raised us. Unfortunately, that caused a lot of problems that I'm still trying to deal with. Then, my mom and dad divorced and it was just the three of us from then on. (Though I still keep in fairly constant contact with my dad.) Throughout my life, I've never lived for more than three years in one place. (Not due to any specific reason.) My dad got remarried a year or two ago, and I absolutely adore my stepmother. She's kind and sweet and very understanding.

Hehehe - I have a cousin in Norway, another in Jahorina (Bosnia - the one I don't speak with), and everyone else more or less lives with my husband and I. My sister and niece have their own place (my old house) but, as I said, she's paranoid of being independent.
And my grandmother's there too... so we're pretty much in each other's faces all the time also.
But it was that way even before my Grandmother moved in. She'd call me 10 times a day at least, "What are you doing?" "Ummm... watching TV?" "Who's with you?" "No one?" LOL Things like that, stupid conversations.
When I first started dating my husband that was his joke.
