If you love him/her, give him/her a baby!!

ok, I thought of this before baby came into our world…
I thought of this… based on my personal experience…

after what we (me, my 2 younger brothers) have been through last year…
I know how lucky I am that, I’ve my brothers with me… (and I hope the they feel the same way too!)

as parents, we’ve to realize the naked truth… that, we won’t be with our baby long…
imagine, if during that time, I was alone… I’d probably will just follow my mother to leave this world…

only with siblings, we know we still have family, to show our weakness when we really want to cry,
only with siblings, we know we have to be even stronger during bad time, cos, we all depends on each other to survive…
friends, relatives, they’ve their own worries, most of the time, what we’ll get is the sympathy… and reasonable help…

unless… unless we’re grown up as the only child in our family and we simply enjoy it, else,
if you love your kid (only one) now, give him/her a brother/sister…
I suppose, having siblings, our kids will have the opportunity to learn ‘rivalry’, ‘compromise’, ‘loving’, ‘caring’, ‘sharing’ since they’re small…
they may love us as we’re their parents, that’s somehow, or maybe, a love in return…
but with siblings, as small as toddlers, or maybe baby… they’ll have the opportunity to learn to love and care, simply because of the blood-tie… unconditional…

I know of many family thinking of having just 1 child, so that the parents can give THE BEST to the 1 child..
but growing up in a family with my 2 younger brothers, I really do not know how an ONLY child will feel in this sense,
and as a parent today, I really to think that, “THE BEST” for our only child, is to give them brother/sister…
to grow up together…
and especially if there’ll be tough time, for eg. the parents are gone (ie. WE will not be by their side anymore)
they will be able to support each other, and live…
