Which kind family do you think is going to be more successful? In which family are the parents controlling their children more? What kind of family should the new parent have? There are a lot of kinds of families. There are big families, small families and families without children. Each of these families has some benefit and some disadvantages. The small family is successful because they have less spending money, good relationships and more private time for the parents.

First, the small families don’t have as much spending money as the big families, because they don’t have a lot of people in one family; for example, if there are two families, which have the same income, one of them is small and another family is big. If the small family, which has four people, wants to travel and they have to pay for just four people. However, the big family, which has ten people, should pay for more people than the small family. Furthermore, any family has some properties. These properties should be matching, how big the family is. In fact, if the family is small they don’t have to pay a lot for the properties. For example, the house is one of the important properties for the family. In fact, the small family has small house whose cost is low. As a result, when the family has a small number of people they will spend less money than the big family.

Second, each family has some differences in the relationship between its members; for example, in some families the parents are with their children for most of the day, but also there are families who don’t have any relationship between their members. These situations depend on the number of the families’ members. It is easy for the members of the small family to meet each other because they have a small house, and they are always near each other.

Third, the parent should have romantic time alone without their children. Therefore, the parents who have fewer than four children can have more private time than the parents who have a lot of children, because of some reasons. First, in the small family the parents can have a babysitter who can handle their children. However, the parents who have five children and more hard to find babysitter accepts to handle their children. Second reason, children of the small family have fewer problems than children of the big family. Therefore, the parents of the small family can find time without talking about their children's problems. However, all the conversations between the parents of the big family are about their children's problems.

My opponents believe that in the big family, which has more than five children, their children will help the parents in the future. When the parents reach the old age, they should have care from others. For example, some old people need help with eating, cleaning and care if they are sick. However, their opinion is not true, because the parents don’t have time to teach their children how the children should love their parent. In fact, the parents did not have time to be involved with their children when they were young, because it is hard to get involved with five children. Furthermore, the parents in the big family cannot spend enough time with their children, and that makes the relationship between the parent and the child stronger. Finally, the parents should show love to their children to get the benefits when they get old.

In conclusion, the parents should have a small family because they will spend less money, they will have good relationship with their children, and they can have more romantic time together. In fact, the small family can get a better life than the big family on the same income. Furthermore, the parents can have more time with their children in the small family than the big family. Finally, parents need to have private time without their children and the parent of the small family can more easily find this time than the parents of the big family.
