Having a big family can sometimes be a good thing, but in my case it is not something I am proud of. Being one of the youngest out of my whole family I have been put down and told I was not good enough compared to my other cousins. I would cry in my room and think to myself will I ever be good enough in their eyes? As I got older and saw the skills I was capable of, I became determined to be as important as everyone else maybe even better. I accomplished high grades since my elementary years, I was inducted to the National Honor Society, and I am in the first percentile of my class. Although, I was told I will never be better I proved my aunts, uncles, and cousins wrong. At this point, I have accomplished more than any of my family members have.…

It can be argued that a smaller family is “less stressful and can lead to more quality time with the family you do have”. But with parent’s having more time to spend with each child, do these children become overly protected and “treated like a porcelain doll”? By giving a child too much care you then take the risk of them becoming attached consequently having an effect in their later life. Also, this could lead to a child being seen as, or acting, spoilt which again will have a significant effect during their adulthood. However, in a smaller family unit it is easier to nurture the few children you have and it is easier to make them feel safe and secure. Having a large family could mean that the children get lost in the background, particularly the older ones as the level of focus and care goes to the younger children.…

A family is also very important in my future. I cannot see myself grow old without a family, especially since I come from a big family. I guess I want to have at least 3 children because what good is it to have money when you don’t even have anyone to share it with or enjoy it with. I’ve been taught my whole life to put my family first above anything else. I of course do not intend to have a family that I cannot provide for financially. I also want a family because I want to be surrounded with people I love especially when I grow old and I have no one else but my children to take care of me.…
Finally there is the “normal” family which contains a mom, a dad and one or several children. Even though this is considered the ideal family they have differences as well. Some are dysfunctional, like the Simpson family from The Simpsons. Even though they fight all the time they are still a family and still love each other. On the other hand there are the “perfect” families, obviously most families are not like this, there are occasional fights, but everyone in a family loves each other because they are bonded and united.…
