Benefits of a Large Family:             

There are many advantages or good effects of a large family. First of all, it is a happy place to live in. because there are so many people in the family you can share your happiness and sorrows with anyone in the family you like. You will have so many suggestions and help to solve your problems. All the people share their experiences and everyone learns from others experiences.

On the other hand, I can say, that the large family always helps if it is supportive, in everywhere if we have a large family we can survive better at any place, Here I will give an example from bitLanders, If I have a big family here in shape of my friends, I can survive here better as they will guide me about everything of bitLanders, they will suggest me to do whatever I should do here.

There are so many people to earn, the total cost becomes low and you can save a lot. In large families responsibilities of children are not just for the parents, older children can help the smaller ones to dress uniform of school properly; school homework is done properly, the manners of sitting etc. In this way, a child gets a special feeling of belonging to the family. They tend to be more responsible especially who are born first, as they are required to take care of the younger children.

And yes it is always working, I am younger one of my house, and I have two my sisters older than me, they often help me to blogging here on bitLanders too, and they always help me to complete my school work in my schooling life. When I was in college life, my older sister @Nisha always help me in my work, I always feel very comfortable due to their help. My older brother works in a bank and his pay is good. I often took Rupees from my brother to pay my college fee. So I think this a great advantage for a large family that there is too much person who earned and we can serve better our life.

The Best Quote:

Coming from a large family makes you feel protected - you have friends and allies. Paul McGann

Another benefit of having an extended family is the consistency which it brings to the children. Children get positive emotional development like they learned consistency by their elders, as the elders are matured and their behave with the younger teach them all the qualities of elders. When the large family gathered on a Dining table, they talk about their issues, their happiness and discuss each matter of life. So I think this is the time when the younger get trained to face all the problems of coming life.

Amazing Said by Barbara Coloroso:

Our children are counting on us to provide two things: consistency and structure. Children need parents who say what they mean, mean what they say, and do what they say they are going to do - Barbara Coloroso

Grandparents also offer their support and guidance. In the bigger or larger families, children learn how to patience on their demands when it does not fulfill immediately as the parents are not able to provide everything to every child as they demand.

Children from bigger families are more social. On the other hand, the only child in the family gets a lot of love and attention. Start taking everything for granted and become sported. Bigger family’s children are friendlier, as they can share their problems with other siblings and have someone to play with.

The oldest sibling always knows things that the younger ones don't.

In a large family, when we hold a function and manage it, it’s trained us to manage big function.

Bad effects or disadvantage of Large Family:              

There are also some disadvantages of having large families. First of all, there is hardly any privacy. It is hard to have any time alone. The most important problem a bigger family has to face is the financial problem a large family often has more expenses than a small family. It is not easy to live in a large family. With a small family, there are more opportunities as it is easier to have only one or two children in activities, there are fewer chances for conflicts. Another advantage of the small family, children get more attention from their parents and compared to the large family, it is easy to bear little family expenses.

The Other disadvantage of a large family is, it is very hard to organize outdoor activities for a whole family, and if we have more than 15 members of the family then it really gets complicated to manage a party for them. Sometimes it's got a more critical situation when you are going outside with a large family and you have to travel from one place to another.

The financial problem is a big trouble in the big families. The parents really need to work hard and a lot for they can support the expenses of their family. The most miserable problem with the big families is that sometimes parents may have their favorites and love them more than the others.

I think a disadvantage of a short family is that parents sometimes overprotective and overly attentive, about their children. They really not letting them explore or play at times. It can be dangerous for the mental growth of the baby.

An advantage of a big family is that if you are in trouble you can have the help from them and you can help them. You can get supported by them.

Whether the family is large or small the thing which makes lives beautiful is the understanding kindness, love, and respect for others. If these things exist in every relation it will be more precious and beautiful to live with it. The honor, Etiquettes and the manners are more essentials for family members to get respect back from a society and your own family persons. It shows your morality to others, how you behave in public place or outside of your house.
