In big families children become more independent earlier with dressing, feeding,
cleaning etc which makes a good start for their life in future.
As parents take care of children’s needs but cannot satisfy their whims (through lack
of money and time), children learn the difference between wants and needs. They
better understand the value of things. They learn to wait for what they want, or to
work and earn it for themselves.
Every next child is easier because you have some experience, and an older child can
help you to do some chores at home or with the youngest brother or sister which also makes
them more responsible and helpful and they can gain a feeling of their own importance.
In a large family children are surrounded by laughter. By and large, even with its
ups and downs, the home of a large family is a happy place, a place of healthy fun. Good
cheer, it seems, is livelier, more heartfelt, when shared with a crowd but sorrow, seems less
painful. Most children from a large family all their lives remember the fun they had together,
the sheer delight of being alive surrounded by love. In spite of all the difficulties and tensions,
they only remember the nice and pleasant moments that they spent in a big and happy
family.
I can write more
and
more
advantages
of
having a big family, but anyway it is a personal decision to
have
one,
two
or
more
children or even none. I am
happy that God has given me
a chance to be the mum of
nearly four children. I would
like and I really try to make
my children’s lives happy and
cheerful, to teach them to be responsible, helpful and independent. Sure I am not
the best mum in a world but I do everything in my power to be better.
