I see that this is reality that the cost of running the family house hold daily, weekly, monthly and yearly has increased. From different people that have complained and including friends, it is getting so much of frustration to taking good care of the family to live fine because inflation and no job. To buy basic need in the house not easy. A friend that have add a new born to his home complaining of buying diaper, provisions for the new child as expensive in addition to the expenses to take care of the other children. The situation of bringing up the family is not easy and I think one way to helping ourselves not to add more financial burden is by reducing the number of children we give birth to. This can help.
This friend of mine now complain so much because of the new child adding to his family. If we reduce the child bearing to the amount we can take care , it will reduce the heat we are feeling from the bad economy experience.
The issue is not really having large family. The issue is having children or family members that are not fruitful or sufficiently beneficial to the family.
If humans are happy to have their domestic animals multiply or increase in number why not be happy with increasing family size? Typically, animals may be sold for profit, produce milks/eggs that could be used/sold, or use for food thereby bringing in more income or saving more money that would have gone into buying milk/egg/meat for the family's protein needs. In this case the animals is profitable, fruitful or beneficial to the family... depending on how much they consume. Human members of family should be groomed and nurtured to be profitable to the family in similar manner. If you want to know those that are actually profitable to your family, note how much they cost you to maintain(like feeding, education, clothing etc) and how much they contribute to the family. Simple formula for this is,
how much a family member contributes/produces minus (—) how much the family member consumes = profitability. Production greater than (>) Consumption = Profit. Consumption > than production = loss . The contributions can either be financial or direct problem solving(without creating more problems). The consumption can either be be financial or direct usage of things produced by our CREATOR or others
Try and run your family like a country. Train your children to be more productive and useful for the family. Identify the talents or roles each member is better at serving. Put them where they belong and use that to run the family profitably. The family could eventually multiply to become a village, from village to town then to a country. If your family isn't well trained they will definitely not be sustainable to run.
