They say "family is everything," no doubt, but they didn't end there; they went further into saying, "family is the rock on which we build our wall." Everyone walking on the face of the earth was born into a family though some persons aren't proud of the family they were birthed into, reasons best known to them.
My family wasn't the richest of all, though often as a child I would wish I was born into a very wealthy family, but then as I grew older I realized that growing up I didn't lack anything, my home was comfortable more like the definition of a comfort zone, I had clothes to wear and a beautiful roof over my head "what else was I looking for?" If you ask me "I don't think I have an answer to that".
Do you come from a large or a small family? Hmm, hmm, I think something is hanging in my throat that I need to get out before answering this question. I come from a large family; by large, I mean people related to me by blood, not friends turned family members. "Yeah!" So my dad already had a wife with children before he married my mum, "something I didn't ask of." Well, I can't complain because the deed has been done already, and I'm a living product of that marriage.

People feel growing up in a large has its consequences. Well, It doesn't, it's just like a normal family when there is an understanding between the parties involved. When such understanding is created, it boils down to the children to follow in that pattern that has been created. I'm not gonna lie. Sometimes conflicts arise, and there will be quarrels and fights, but then, after a while, there will be a settlement. Growing up, I didn't see my mum exchange abusive words with my stepmother; she was always conscious of herself not to engage in any of that sort "I don't know how she did it".
I never regretted growing up in such a home because everything I needed was provided; I didn't lack the essentials or basic things needed for my daily life. Mum has always been there, and dad I got to know a little before he passed. Dad's passing made Mum move out of the house to start a small family with her offspring. "Me and my siblings" felt like we moved from a large family to a small one.
You can say I've tasted being in a large family and a small one, but then the one I prefer the most is the "small family". I enjoyed the privacy that accompanied it, it was more peaceful in terms of the noise and more conducive.
If I had a choice, I would prefer a small family, just my husband, and kids, normally there are gonna be some extended family members coming around "no doubt" and also those who aren't related to us by blood coming around as well, I wouldn't mind that but then I still prefer my small family for the peace of mind.
Thanks for reading 🧡
