for me, nothing is wrong with having a large family as what other countries nowadays are doing to implement such law as 1 child only. I grew up with only 1 sister beside me. I tell you that is it quite difficult in many ways. You get to miss each other when he/she is not around you. When you both worked and have a family of each own, then you really have no time or lots of time to be together. You also have some problems like who will get to take care of your parents when they are sick? You dont have any other to share the task with as you only have each other to depend on. Having a large faliy will bring lots of advantages to parents whom they think they can raise. However it is really not advisable for families who cannot support each child in many ways, better yet have a smaller family.

Very well said, great views on the subject, I was an only child but the reasoning for this was that my Mum found it hard to deal with children.....that was her reasoning anyway, I love havign a large family

My view on large families is that quite hard to live for but happy because your so many in the families. Mostly with gathering parties, get together reunions i think its fun to have large families.
