Speaking of the Children ( Barbara Holland)

 6. Speaking of the Children ( Barbara Holland)

This essay delightfully examined the ideas of having more than one child and the consequent expenses of parents.

The writer of this essay and her husband both have jobs. The writer believes that it is very important to have a private talk between husband and wife about half an hour in peace and privacy for the happy married life. Such kind of talk maintains familial happiness. The writer has plural children, she doesn't want her children to listen the private talk between herself and her husband. Instead she wants them to clean their room and play with their play things nicely and quietly. However the children want attention of their parents and disturb them. As a result, the parents can't have any talk in peace and privacy.

One child is like a part of our body. Parents can brainwash the child and make whatever they want. They can guide, shape, instruct proper manners and behaviours. Moreover provide each and every facility for the overall growth advancement and progress of the child. However all this aren't possible if the parents have plural children..

If there are plural children in family parents have to lose their freedom and pleasure. The family expense is also very high. They cannot provide the facilities to the children which are necessary for their quality life. The things and goods of the house are scattered everywhere. The parents can't use the telephone and television for their own purpose. Plural children are the counter culture of the family. They behave in way that their parents don't like and the parents become helpless. They can't control their children and also they are unable to give proper care. The children don't follow the ideas of parents and the parents have to spend a lot of time and energy for the children. They are pushed backward slowly and slowly into the life of their children.  They don't have their own life, freedom and pleasure. The parents having plural children have to talk to those people whom they don't know but their children know to them. They also can't go far away at holiday places. They can't make their children obedient.

 In this way, by pointing out so many disadvantages of having many children, the writer supports single child and she is against having plural children
