Advantages and disadvantages of having a big family

There are many advantages and disadvantages of having a big family. In the past families were much bigger than now. Today many couples don’t get married at all or they get married much later, when both partners have started their career. The numbers of divorces have increased a lot. In the past, people wanted to have many kids, but now is popular a type of family where are parents and one or two children.

The first advantage of having a lot of brothers or sisters is joyful and happy life. In big families always someone tells you something nice or does some surprises. You never feel solitary in so large group because they always make you smile. The next good thing about having many brothers or sisters is helping each other with every work. For example, older from the sibling, helps with homework the younger one. A Person who lives in a large family is more responsible and sociable than somebody who was always an only child.

But on the other hand if you have only one brother or sister, or even none – you’re supposed to argue less because you haven’t a person who you will argue with. Also in big families children become very competitive and everybody wants to be the best.

In my opinion families should be numerous. I’ve got a younger brother, and we really get on very well. I’m happy that I have him! I know a lot of people who are the only children. They are often more selfish and bumptious than the other who have any brothers or sisters.

I still don’t know what I want to do in the future, I don’t know which job I want to have, I don’t know if I get married, but if I do - I know that I’d like to have a big family and a lot of children. :)
