Hello, dear steemians family, am @chigraze from @nigeria I greet you all and I hope you all are doing well. I want to use this medium to write to you all about this interesting contest organized by

on the topic, large and small families likes and dislikes.

What is family

Family is a group of persons united by the ties of blood, marriage or adoption and interacting with each other basically parents, children and siblings.
To a greater extent, family is everything to me it’s something I really cherish and care about more than anything else. Family’s as a whole always begins with love and definitely never ends because at the end of the day it’s family that would truly love and care for you be it in your difficult and hard times. Now therefore, let’s talk about large and small family with their likes and dislikes.

Large Family

Large family system usually capture the public’s attention and by counting.They oftenly set meal schedules. A family of four to five children is also considered a large family, so if one lives in a poverty stricken family or country with poor services and of no development of any sort of job and opportunities having a large family now become a chaos to the family. My parents were the type who wanted a large family but with the little resource that wasn’t enough for the 7kids the family. Parenting a large family is not rea a small task because you would have to give up on yourself and perfection to teach, show and take care of them and help them with their take home work.

I grew up in the family of 7kids and I happen to be the eldest amongst them but unfortunately 3died along the line because there wasn’t enough financial strength due to the circumstances on ground. Well I really loved a large family and my parents from their both parents had a large family too. One fascinating thing I like about large family is that there’s always some to gist with, Crack jokes with and play hide and seek with especially when it’s raining days it’s really fun and I would not change for anything choosing a smaller family to large family. As an adult I can’t imagine not having siblings around me really. Having a large family is not a bad idea but make sure your financially stable.

Small Family

Unlike large family you don’t really get to know each other but in small family you’ve got the full ground to know each other better and stronger bond. Smaller family has much benefits and advantages too

Likes

• Small families have closer relationships between the father, mother and the children.

• There’s more resources available for the family especially for the child.

• In small family structure with fewer children, the parents do have more quality time and energy to dedicate to the children to their individual needs and wants.
