What are the advantages and disadvantages of small and big family?

Answer 1

A small family has the advantage of easily managing essentials for daily consumption. The parents are able to give full attention to child rather than dividing it among different members. However, children might not learn about the importance of sharing. On other hand, it is hard to manage for a living of large family as it needs more resources. However; siblings tend to take care of each other and members help with house chores.

Answer 2

A small family get the advantages of a quieter home, cleaner home and possibly more money to spend on holidays. It's also not a struggle to bring your family of one or two children to the shops or a restaurant or even holidays.

However a small family gets the disadvantage of a lonely child. Big families are more fun and usually a bit more daring and adventurous. Children from small families are often more spoilt than children from a bigger family, especially if you have one child. They might find it harder to make friends, share and socialise.

A bigger family gets the advantage of children that are never lonely and have had to share and make friends easily. Big families often have more fun and an excuse to get out more. Children from a big family appreciate their siblings when they are older more then they would when they are younger.

However a big family gets the disadvantage of less attention. This might make them frustrated or upset. Siblings don't always get along aswell! It can be a pain trying to bring your family down to the shop, cinema and especially a fancy restaurant!

At the end of the day it's all up to you. If your a loud bubbly person who loves fun and laughter then a big family is for you. If you like the quiet life and like going out with your friends and spending as much time as possible with your children a smaller family is for you. If your a bit of both then maybe three children would be just right!

A small family= Only child or two children.

A big family= Four or five children.

The happy medium= Three children.
