Advantage and disadvantage of growing up in a large family

Being more sociable:
I have always been of the opinion had the idea that children brought up in populous families with many siblings tend to be more sociable than the ones living brought up in smaller families. Those who are used to sharing their stuff with other siblings learn to be more considerate and generous adults.
Furthermore, having someone to share your feelings and emotions with helps you to promote your communication skills and makes it easier to  make friends. My friend who has been playing and living with her lots of siblings during her childhood is a salient example; Since everyone in their family had to resolve the conflict through conversations she tends to be more outspoken than my friends who never have encountered such conditions. Hence, if children have so many people around them to deal with, they learn to easily interact with other people during their adult life.

Financial Problems:
There has been a sense in which living in a populous family has some disadvantages. Among them I can name facing financial problems. Most of the time, due to taking care of children and grandparents, on occasions  the parents can not work.This translates to earning less money to spend for on the children’s education and other demands. Also parents might not be able to afford a big house to provide adequate space for each family member. I myself know of a poor family with an unemployed father and servant mother; Although they have been suffering from financial problems I recently heard that they have brought another child into this world.
Hence, in my idea if people concentrate on the quality of their small family members’ life more than its quantity, they experience a more convenient situations.
