HAVING MORE THAN TWO KIDS - 3 AND MORE CHILDREN CAN BE FUN
HAVING MORE THAN 2 KIDS OR HAVING 3 OR MORE CHILDREN: WHEN THREE OR MORE KIDS IS PERFERCTION! My first-born son, at 6, said to me he wants his family to be big. I was expecting our second born son, and he stated his case clearly; the expected baby was not to be the last one. “But mommy, you cannot have a first born, and then a last born”, he said. “You must at least have three kids, two is not enough.”
Had my grandmother heard him, he would have received all the blessings and inheritances that she had. She is an advocate for bigger families, and having as many children as God permits. “I’ve never heard any person saying that they are just ploughing the field for fun, and would actually prefer it if nothing grows from the seed,” she would argue.
Having more than two kids: three is freeHaving more than two kids: three is free Raising kids is expensive; everyone who has a couple of them would tell you that. The expense isn’t just financial, it can also be physical, emotional and perhaps also spiritual. People say that if you decide to have children you must be ready to have more than one. Two seems to be the socially acceptable number. This is because for most people, three seems like quite a handful and daunting. I’m still contemplating the idea of having three kids myself. I always liked three, you know, it provides that illusion of being a big family while still manageable.What I have realised is that people who want to have three kids are so into the idea that finances and other barriers don't scare them off. When my eldest son visited his grandma for sometime, the loneliness I witnessed in the small one made me really think that it is better to have two other people with whom you can share your childhood, and your parents. And when parents eventually pass away, the benefits of shared pain are immense. People who are only children would tell you that they wish they had someone to share that pain with, someone who is grieving in exactly the same way that they grieve. Society should stop judging people who want to have more than two kids. Weigh your options, the choice is yours. I can tell you right now that my family feels more balanced with 3 kids
