SEC-S17W3: large and small families, likes and dislikes
Welcome to my blog, friend!
Family is our immediate constituency before our outdoor interaction with society. A family that is made up of the father, mother, and children is one we have to handle keenly to promote all the values it emits.
I am that school of thought that believes in moderation in all we do. I do not need to have all the children in the world because it is said that children are the blessings of God and come from above. We have to. apply caution and not throw it into the air.
I have an affinity for a portable family size not because of anything special but as a crusader for quality rather than quantity. I do not need to have all children procreated before me with their nuisances everywhere.
You can believe me that a well-trained and cultured child is a blessing to society at large. Their contributions are immensely immeasurable given their wealth of experience and the peace they bring to the table in all circumstances. They are less criminal and menace to society because they are gainfully engaged and morally laden.
This is not the same for situations where we have children who are poorly brought up or in a home where the required attention isn't given to them because of the family size before them. The society is the first to be affected. One thing we must come to understand is the overbearing effect of the family on society.
Either way, society bears the pressure positively or negatively. But I know every listening and well-to-do government would want to get it correctly to avert those dangers that plague the already tense environment.
In this present economic situation where inflation is the order of the day, family survival and existence have reduced further. Families find it difficult to cope with the present situations and mostly have fallen off from their above-average status into the poverty line.
At the same time, moderate homes and families have an advantage side to do better all around seasons and circumstances due to their family navigate through these situations easily because of family size, unlike the large family size.
Therefore, in my opinion, I am for a smaller family size that comes with a lot of moderation. I am also a living example of this practice already with a nuclear family size of two.
Thank you, friends.

Family is one of the pillars of happiness in this life, therefore large or small a family if built with love will allow happiness. Keep sharing interesting and useful posts.
I am in the same school of thought as you, sir. Not just for quantity but for quality, should I prefer a small family to a large one? Family size causes a lot of danger and harm to the children's upbringing. I have even seen a family with 12 children, but due to finances, 5 out of the 12 were sent to school while the others were told to stay behind, and another family of 10 sold some of their children so they could train the other ones. I just wonder why some people cannot gain an understanding of something before they venture into it.
I enjoyed my family while growing up because we are from a small family group. I wish you all the best, sir!
Thank you so much for the detailed responses here. I'm glad we align in the same school line of thoughts.
I certainly agree with you, having well trained children is a big treasure to the society and a bonus to the family. There's no crime giving birth to the children you can take care of and there's no special gifts attached to people with many children.
The whole thing is whether large or small family, you should be able to take care of them and you should also be able to teach them the right societal values.
Anyways, I respect your views of maintaining a small family like me. Just two! That's ok.
Best wishes sir.
Nice points shared. Funnily even the supposed rich do not keep large families. It's one thing to have them many and another thing to ensure quality in all areas of their lives. Thanks for showing up
You're right, you hardly see rich people having five children.
It's always my pleasure!
Hahaha, thats very true. But funny enough the man with little or nothing is found with large family size.
The Lord is their strength ooo
You have said it all, it is better to give birth to the number of children we can take care of, rather than giving birth to the ones that might be a nuisance to the society. The cost of living is quite high and a small family size is the Ideal family.
I think people are correctly aligning to fge workings of the economy. No one needs to be told that if you have a large family size, you are on your own. Moderation is the watch word now. Thanks for engaging
Wonderful thoughts sir, yes we need to be cautious and not give birth to numerous children just because they are gift from God.
I love the nuclear family alot and is a family that has low expenses. Muslims are the people who love extended family alot.
Thanks for your contributions. The economy is indeed telling on everyone and we have to adjust to what we can deal with. Wisdom is profitable to direct.
