SEC17 WK:#3: large and small families, likes and dislikes

large and small families, likes and dislikes

---

Hello everyone, Best regards to you all.

Seeing the title of this contest theme made me interested in participating, it was nice to read user posts about how users choose between large families or small families. Before I start the content of my post, it's a good idea to start with a saying that has been developing in our country for a long time regarding this week's theme.

Many children, many sustenance

In Indonesia the culture that became saying "many children, many sustenance" was attached and trusted by the people of the past, and until now it is still believed to be a relevant saying. This saying is closely related to our belief as Muslims, multiplying offspring is a pleasure when lived and done responsibly. Each child has their sustenance, and then multiplying the offspring will open the doors of other sustenance. Even in our Holy Book of Muslims, there is a verse of the Qur'an that is guidance on this matter, something we believe in.

Speaking beyond the contest of beliefs, having a large family or having a small family is a factor of choice for each one. This is closely related to family planning, family planning itself considers several factors. One of the main factors today is the economy, many people want to have a large family but it is difficult in economic terms. Another factor is health, many people have the desire to have a large family but health becomes an obstacle to it.

But some people have a fairly good economy but do not want to be bothered with many family members, so raising 1 or 2 children is considered sufficient even though it is healthy in terms of economy and health. Such factors influence people's choices in family planning.

But for me, the choice of large families and small families is equally good according to the things I mentioned above. But I prefer to like a big family, this is not without reason because I have my reasons. My reasons include :

1. I still agree with the saying "many children, many sustenances".
2. A well-guided large family will be very happy, full of crowds.
3. Can complement each other and help in the future, meaning there will be many solutions offered to solve family obstacles.
4. Children are the medicine of bitterness and sadness, their smiles and their jokes are something of a panacea.
5. There will be its excitement.
6. There will be many stories and life stories that we will feel and one day we will remember together.

These reasons have been partly felt in family life today, I have 5 children so we consider our family to be a big family when compared to families generally today. Having 7 people in one family now makes us feel as if we don't feel lonely, we always get together every day and joke and laugh together with each other's behavior patterns.

My biggest hope is that my children can continue to maintain the current family conditions so that they always feel happy and create happiness together. Another thing is of course I hope they become great and useful people in the future so that happiness continues to grow and can be celebrated together in a big family bond.
Thus my choice of liking large families is based on what I described above, I realize everyone has their own family planning choices and all have their reasons. What is clear is that having many family members is a fun and certainly very exciting thing to pass, and I currently feel that way.
