If you live in together with your own parents or your spouse's parents, you can reply including the parents. For your situation, I think you don't have to reply with all 4 parents. Serena27-san,

Also, both my parents are re-married, so should I name all 4 parents, or is that too much information to give in an introduction? arigato gozaimashite If you are married with children and someone asks how many people are in your family, do you reply with your spouse and children, or parents and siblings?

Just wanted to comment on TinTin's sentence above: ane wa san-nin *ga imasu. (three older sisters exist) *Remember that counters take no particle, so the sentence should be: ane ga san-nin imasu. (I have 3 older sisters). Also, John Briggs - are you the John Briggs from Kansai Gaidai back in 1989? - if so, hisashiburi - you probably don't remember me - Abby McMeekin in the rainbow house.
