Hi friends, am so happy to participate in this contest, I will be sharing my thoughts on the topic: Large and small family, likes and dislikes.
In this write-up, my family here is made up of only the Father,mother and children, which means that the large family will have many children, and the small family will have few children.
Some people like having a large family while others like having a small family, any of that is their choice, when I was small I can remember that my paternal family was large and my maternal family was large as well, but the parents were not able to take care of all of them through school which was a problem.
In my time, my parents preferred a small family because they wanted to give us quality training.
I prefer a small family. This means a family where we have a father, a mother, and two children. This is because my husband and I can manage a small family, If there are limited resources it can be managed and shared among everyone. Then expenses will be few.
SMALL FAMILY
LIKES:
(1) stability in finance because expenses will be few.
(2) the time and energy to care for the family will be less and the parents will have time to do other life's business
(3) closeness with each other will be so tight and there will be no quarrel, fight, or jealousy
(4) There will be no conflict among the children because they will not fight for attention from their parents.
DISLIKES:
(1) fewer contributions to finance, the small number of people will make it difficult to grow quickly because only a few people are there to contribute.
(2) people will not be enough to provide caregiving to add parents
(3) they will be feeling lonely because there is no social engagement in the family.
LARGE FAMILY
LIKES:
(1) The children will have enough people to play with and share emotional problems with
(2) There will be many people to contribute to the family's financial need, with time
(3) Age parents will not have problems during old age as there will be more hands to care for them
DISLIKES:
(1) the children will be having conflicts with each other because of jealousy
(2) The children will be struggling for attention from the parents
(3) there will be not enough finance to see the children through school.
CONCLUSION
There is no specific number to determine a small family, it is what each one of us thinks will make it either a small or large family. Although some people have small families because of financial need, whatever the case may be, there are advantages and disadvantages to both small families and large families. So whichever one chooses, I respect their decision.
@vickmoon, @dove11, I count it great privilege to invite you to participate in the contest.
