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

Good morning to the great parents and kids in this prestigious community, happy new week to you all. It is a beautiful Monday morning here in Nigeria and all the creations are in waiting to hear you give a command or make some declarations in order to carry them out in your favour. So in order for a thing to be established you have to decree.

It's so amazing seeing another thought provoking topic in this week 3, still on family. I say good dos to the organizers @steemkidss, more inciting insight to you.

And I still remain your girl @tripple-e.

I want to share with us an elementary meaning of what a family is; A family consists of; father, mother and children. That is, a group of people living together.
But since the concept of family is constantly changing or evolving, I don't think there's just one definition of a family, because what matters most is the love shared and felt among the people and also having a sense of belonging and acceptance.

And there are two types of family:
1: Extended family; which consists of father, mother, children, grandparents, cousins, nephews, nieces, step brothers and sisters, step mothers and fathers etc, the list can go on and on.

2: Nuclear family: This simply consists of father, mother and children.

But for the purpose of this contest, the emphasis is on nuclear family.

What is my choice of a family size, do I like large size(plenty children) or I prefer small size family (2- 3 children)?

This is 👆a typical picture of a large size family (plenty children).
I wouldn't say having a large size family is bad, it is just an individual differences and how capacitated you are to be able to Carter and take care of your family members comfortably without being a burden to the society.
Please note the word comfortably.
After all in the olden days our forefathers and mothers used to give birth to many children as possible, some 15, 20 and so on. I have heard of a family whose grandfather married 9 wives and gave birth to 40 something children and I was like wow!. That's is really large. Maybe then, not even maybe, let me say then, things were not this hard and the cost of living was not expensive.

Now, let's look at their likes and dislikes

A small family size, say like three children, two girls and one boy
This is where my choice is:-

My darlings, due to the economy situation in my country presently, I wouldn't advice even my enemies to give birth to plenty children before you'll die of high blood pressure.

I would have preferred just one but something might decides to happen to that one and you become childless, although nobody prays for evil to struck but we can not rule it out, as we are living in the last days,so anything can happen but God forbids.

Giving birth is not a problem but your ability to be able to Carter for the needs of those innocent children and train them to become something in future, so that in your old age, they in turn will take care of you as their parents. But in a situation that they are not sent to school, nor learn a skill in order to be useful, they'll become a thing of shame and problematic to you and the society at large.

It is important to note that every large family is very unique and their operations depends on the family culture and the personalities involved.

And also the happiness of every family depends on the quality of relationship they shared and the bonds between them, by being supportive and able to meet the needs of others.
