Cupid’s Advice:
Having a big family can be a lot to take on, and with more people comes more opportunities for family drama and toes being stepped on. However, they’re your family, and sometimes it’s great to have such a big support group around for you and your partner. Through the ups and downs, they’re always around, and when it comes to moral support, the bigger the better. So here are some advantages to having another child:
1. You can spread the love around. In small families you might feel a bit cramped, always socializing with the same people and having the same conversations as your partner, maybe butting heads once in a while. With a big family, you can spread out and talk to many different relatives in one evening without having to hang around your partner the entire time. By the end of the night you’ll both have different stories to tell each other and continue the fun.
