There is an increasing trend around the world to have a small family rather than a large family. What are the advantages and disadvantages of having a small family rather than a large family.

Nowadays, it is very common that

couples

are considering having a small family

instead

of a bigger family.

Although

having a big family will be an ideal thing to do after marriage, I do believe that as things evolve various

couples

will rather choose

I will discuss why having a smaller family will be very beneficial to both

children

and

couples

. To start with,a long time ago it was very popular to have a large family.

Couples

are encouraged to have heaps of

children

as they believe having an extended family will be much happier and I will not argue with

this

.

However

, as a person who grew up in a big family, I would say there are some drawbacks especially for the budgeting of the money.

For instance

, my father owned a mechanical shop before, even though he owns it we’ve noticed that providing food on the table for his

children

wasn’t enough and we grew up malnourished those days.

Additionally

, parents will have a favourite and

this

will give other siblings the feeling of jealousy.

Therefore

, a bigger family will not be good as it can affect the emotional and physical development of the

children

.

On the other hand

, as time passed governments have been encouraging

couples

to consider smaller families. Young

couples

these days are more practical about choosing to start a smaller family or leave it later after they are secured.

For example

, if the parents have only one or two

children

they can be more focused on their

children

as well as they can prioritize the needs of their kids.

Furthermore

, it will not be hard for them to show their affection equally at the same time.

As a result

, having a smaller family will be much easier as everyone's needs are met

accordingly

and

this

can develop stronger bonds for the family. In conclusion, having a smaller family has been increasing enormously these days. Family is an important core of an individual's life as we can lend on them easily when we have a problem. My own view on the matter is that if you want to give a good future for your kids, having a smaller family will be a good choice.
