Which Is Better A Small Or Large Family?

I think that smaller families are better than bigger families because I feel that smaller families are less expensive to have than larger families. I feel that smaller families are less expensive than larger families because they have less children to take care of then larger families who usually have about four or more children. That’s why I feel families nowadays only have one or two children is just because of the expense it is to raise them from birth till the end of college nowadays.
Many families worry about the cost of things such as college, food, health insurance, life insurance, and etc. It’s better to have a smaller family than a larger one because back then things were a lot affordable than today and people could support families with a half dozen or more children then. Now in this bad economy people can barely afford to take care of only one or two children. I think that because back in the day there were a lot more jobs that paid way better than today. Nowadays more and more companies are taking there businesses overseas and away from the American people who desperately need them.
Smaller families are better than larger families because you have less mouths to feed which means more money you’ll have in your pocket to do fun things such as go on a vacation to Disney World in Orlando, Florida; go to Hawaii; go on a road trip; or anything that the family wants to do. In larger families you have more mouths to feed and more people to provide for. Which means most of your money would go towards taking care of them and making sure they have everything they need. You really wouldn’t be able to have as many fun vacations or outings as a smaller family would have.
I think you would just have struggle more having a bigger family then a smaller family overall because in reality the parents would have to work more than one job in my opinion which would add more stress on the parents. Whereas smaller family parents could just have one job each and survive and survive more than larger families. But I feel that larger families would just have more responsibilities than a smaller family. I feel having a smaller family gives you more flexibility with your time and schedule. It gives you a chance to go out with your friends to parties or anything y’all want to do. Whereas if you have a larger family you really want have as much time and flexibility to do anything for yourself and go out and party with your friends and enjoy yourself. I feel that way because you’ll always have to do stuff for your kids all the time.
Overall I personally would love to have a smaller families because I wouldn’t want to have that many kids and that kind of responsibility on me. But you can see it for yourself in life today that more and more people are switching to smaller family sizes because of the day to day struggles people endure today in this economic turmoil. That’s how I feel about the situation in my own opinion.
