Foxy Posted October 18, 2005 I am and will insure myself and those close to me any time of the day, its normal way of life.....whether or not one accepts.....its only logical for one to insure its vualable worth whether its tangible or intangible..... Cause You never know when another kathrine will hit the suface!!!!!so might as well be insured to the max and whats the deal with having tons of kidds!Children's welfare will improve as there are fewer of them to care for. Some say that their religious or political belief system needs more members to make the world a better place, but there's no guarantee that offspring will follow the traditions of their parents.In fact, just the opposite seems to be the norm in modern societies. bottom line is,Two is better than four, and one is twice as good as two,taking in to Consideration the future world we are creating for future generations, cheers Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Alle-ubaahne Posted October 18, 2005 ^^I am sorry to say, with such ideas, civilizations such as ours become non-existant, if that idea is put into practice! I can only talk about one child through adoption when I checked all possibilities to having more children and none has worked. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

On the other hand, look at some of the European countries with declining population like Italy. These countries are forced to bring other nationalities in to sustain their economic wellbeing.

Speaking about what we're thought in preservation of our sound traditions, there is nothing ku jaban for taking the footsteps of our great grandfathers. The whole point with the partner is to produce more kids; what else are we supposed to do for partnership? Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Lidia Posted October 18, 2005 Wow, that is a lot of children. I'm the only child, so i guess i woudn't know the whole big family thing. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
Sky Posted October 18, 2005 Only child. This may sound ackward, but you are than the only only Somali child I have encountered. You are truly a phenomenon. You have never experienced when your dad forgot your name for a brief moment, waiting for the bathroom for an hour or even finding out that one of your siblings took your favorite sweater while you were planning to wear it that day. Masha Allah you are blessed. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
- Femme - Posted October 18, 2005 ^She neither had the pleasure of sticking a fist in someone's face on a daily basis, always knowing that there is a person to blame, someone to go with you places when you feel alone, someone to wrestle and 5 seconds later still be best of friends. Someone hand down the responsibilites when your tired. Were only 5 but sometimes I wish it was 10. The bigger the more fun. Really. Can't wait till my lil sis is older. I'm training her now to take care of the whole house. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

I'm training her now to take care of the whole house. You know what, I love being the only kid...I got everything I have ever wanted in my life, my parents both showed me so much love that I have to say, I never needed the attention or acceptance of others (not that I’m implying that you do, or that anyone else does). However, I remember when I went to Somalia for a holiday as a kid, I had hard time with the local kids who could spot that I was a new kid in the neighborhood, and that is the only time I had wished to have siblings to defend me from the hooligans.

Child of Dune Posted October 18, 2005 Come on people. We all know that our traditions of having a large family as well as an extended family is what makes Somalis great. When I was at school , no one tried to bully at all I had to say was "I WiLL TELL ALL 24 BOYS TO KICK YOUR BUTT" and I had respect. I love large families. On the other hand Men have to know they must provide for their children and not just rely on the state. Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites

Masha Allah you are blessed. The only thing is though, I sometimes wonder what would happen to my parents if I died, who would take care of them? Also, the pressure to succeed is even that much worse, because there is no room for failure. Man, when I get married I’m going to have as many children as possible, just incase one kid doesn’t turn out the way you want, you have others to fall back on, lol.

Who should I believe? :cool: Quote Share this post Link to post Share on other sites
