Living in a big family is a difficult thing. Some decades ago, the families were much bigger than they are today. Nowadays people rarely want to marry. It happens that they decide to have a family when they are over thirty years old. They want to make professional career before they have partners and children. Moreover, more and more marriages divorce these days. There are many people, who live single lives. Less women want to have many children. A typical contemporary family consists of parents and two kids.
If you have more brothers and sisters, your family is full of joy. In the house of the numerous family, there is always someone to talk to. Each day is surprising. One cannot feel lonely in such family. There are always people to cheer you up. Another advantage of having many sisters or brothers is that they take care of each other. They can help you solve your problems. The older sister may help you do the homework. The younger one will make you tea, when you feel tired. Growing up in the bigger family, a person learns responsibility. Such people are usually nicer and more sociable.
If you are your parents' only child, or if you have one brother or sister, you can have happy life as well. You have no one to argue with, so you are much calmer. When there are many kids, they often compete. Each one wants to be better than the other.
Summing up, from my point of view it is better when there are more children in a family. I have younger sister and older brighter and I really love them. Many of my friends have no siblings. I noticed that they find it difficult to think about others' needs and worries. It is sometimes hard to be a friend of such person.
I am not yet sure, how my future life will look like. I do not know, what job I should choose and if I would marry someone. However, if I have a wife, I would like to have many kids. I think that i would be very happy having my own big family.
