In many parts of the world, families were larger in the past because people had more children. Do you think there were advantages of disadvantages to being part of a large family in the past? Give reasons for your answer and include any relevant examples from your own knowledge and experienc

Most people would rather became bigger families, in the past. However, nowadays people mostly prefer to live in smaller families rather than larger families. As it costs so much to bring children up and is more difficult to raise a big family, these days. While some believe that there were some downsides of living large family, I believe that upsides outweighed them. There were several drawbacks of living large family. One of them could be financial problems. For example, one of the parents could not work who earned less and their education as well as other activities could not pay. Secondly, they could not pay more attention to individual their children and occasionally, children sustained or found it difficult solving problems in their life. This was the biggest issue, in my opinion. In addition, it was so difficult to keep everyone organized and on track. On the other hand, as I said earlier, there were more positives why living larger family. First of all, you never were lonely there. Always someone there talked to, spent time with and learned each other as well. Secondly when somebody made mistakes or struggled, there were many family members who helped and understood them. A big family which trained working with team and getting on with strangers. Furthermore, it could share own things, such as clothes, books and others, viz, we taught to become a generous person. In conclusion, living a larger family had more advantages rather than disadvantages.
