Greetings everyone, I'm so fascinated to share my happy and bad experiences with my family here. I'm from a monogamous family of 7 children with 5 brothers and a sister. I'm the number 5th child in our family, with much love united and in diversified love and parental emotions shared between my parents and us, their children.
We share great bonds and unconditional love amongst my siblings. Perks of living in my family, to be precise, I live in a house full of boys and only one sister whose act can be annoying at times, but regardless, she is my only sis and the only one I run to if I'm bittered or any outsider crosses my path.
I am always happy around her, though my immediate brother, my fight partner, I don't like being cheated; otherwise, I would be angry. At times, I got into a fight with him, but sadly for me, he's always stronger than me, so he would definitely overpower me and beat me up, but regardless of this, I can't let my right be taken out of my hands easily, so I have to try; if at all, I know the end for me is going to be bitter, like beating me, and I would later cry that what I always wanted was justice. Another perk of my life is non-quality education.
Growing up was a bit monotonous because my dad had to pay our school fees all at a time, considering coming from a middle-class family where money isn't flowing consistently, so I used to feel bad at times being driven out of class for tuition fees and other levies, although my parents are hard-working, but nevertheless the place for financial needling, where much and income weren't enough to safely handle the affairs of the family, talk less of the right to choose which is biologically impossible.

But if I can choose, I would choose the same family because I later got used to everyone, and understanding everyone's behavior, I learned to tolerate everybody's bad and good character, so I realized my immediate brother, who we used to be worst enemies, now we are best friends and are cordially on good terms with each other.
If money weren't an issue, I would definitely not raise a large family because mothering a large family can be sometimes difficult because nursing and taking care of children is practically an unexempted duty for all women around the world.
Though our contemporary world is changing, but the natural facts still remain unchanged, most especially in our continent, Africa, where much parental care and child guidance is majorly on the mother; everyone looks up to women as a good role model for their children.
And as a woman that I am and a future parent, I presumed it may be difficult raising many offspring considering my family as a close example. At times my mum has to abscond from home for hours because of my siblings troubles and fighting each other.
At times my mum would come back and settle many cases that may later disturb her mental health, and her psychological balance is our priority. Seeing this, I feel I won't be able to cope with a large family.
