I have a neighbor couple, the woman grew up as a malnourished child and that actually made her speak like she is a child because possibly her brain didn't get much nutrients for that part of her brain that processes her ability to speak normally. But it also shows on her overall body physically but she can do physical work.
Her husband also has the same situation but can converse well and have a very good physique. They are both mentally challenged so to speak and you know what? They both have lots of children already considering both of them cannot even sustain their food needs and in fact their children begs for foods in the neighborhood.
Sometimes I would hear their children walking deep in the night crying for some reason because their parents are always hanging out in the streets and they are with them. The couple had a few of their children die because of neglect and those were newborns while others "survived" because our neighborhood quite support them as well with foods when they beg for it.
What I mean is that they are actually not fit for being a parent because for one thing they cannot even support themselves, they both have some mental issues which soon will affect how their children sees them and still they already had a lot of children.
Now my siblings are quite different, they are are graduates with a degree in college, both couples have jobs. One of my brothers and his wife works in the same paper factory with a good salary while my other brother is a teacher with a good ranking and his wife also is a teacher and schooling again as a lawyer. They all have jobs and are quite capable of having a quite medium-sized family.
But they had chosen a small family because they all have two children each while my sister have three daughters which could have been only two as well because they are only trying to have a son which they failed to have.
I am just sad because if one of the two children will get a problem, there is only one sibling the can run into for help. So what if they are not okay with each other? then the one with a problem can no longer get a support from their supposed sibling.
I realized that factor when I first had a problem with my medical needs many years ago when I was just starting in dialysis when only one brother of mine is helping me all throughout and the others could not even buy me a tablet of medicine. So I was quite lucky that had a one helping sibling out of the three. But supposing that I had only the one that is not helping me, I might not be even here now telling you this.
I just thank God that he had given me one supportive brother out of the three although he won't indulge in cryptos LOL. All of them aren't interested BTW but its okay. But now God had give me steemit which acts more than a close sibling unto me by supporting me selflessly. I just pray to God to repay you all. God bless you and keep you and his face shine upon you.
