How To Manage A Big Family? Real Story
It is real story.I have changed the names of characters.There is a family in which total 10 members are there and all of them leave very happily.In this 21st century when we say that if every member of the family will earn then only the members can leave happily because if the financial condition of a family is good then there will not be fights among the family members.If you go to deep in the lives of any family whose members fight a lot you will find that finance is the main cause in the root of the fight.
When I got my job, I was allotted a government accommodation.Just opposite to this building there was big ground in which children used to play.
Next month she delivered a male baby.It was the ninth baby.I asked my wife that we will go their house on Sunday.I and my wife love children a lot.We have one son and one daughter.We thought that our children will enjoy to play with them.When we went to their home the Mr.Popat (owner of the house) opened the door.He welcomed us with a lovely smile and kissed my both children.He was very happy to meet us.He asked us that you live in the opposite green colour building.I said yes.Then he took us to their drawing room (Guest room) and called his wife.She was a healthy lady.She came and greeted us with a beautiful smile and sat besides us.Then she called her eldest daughter Lakshmi and told her to serve us water and tea (Indian custom).Lakshmi brought water for us and greeted us with Namaste (hello).Then she called her brothers and children one by one.Each child was health and with smiling face.They came one by one greeted us with Namaste and sit there.They all were very quiet and happy.I told my son and daughter to go with them and play.Then they went to another room and played a lot.There was no fight among them.I was very surprised.Ten children in a single room but neither they were fighting nor making any noise.I could not stop my anxiety.I asked Mr Popat that how he is managing the family.How they are living so happily despite of eight children under single room.He didn’t got angry and replied that its just management in the starting and now its became habit of every member.I said, “How?” He told me that when they had just one child they were living in Mumbai in just one room.At that time we planned that we will manage our family in such a way that we can always live happily.
Now we have four sons and four daughters.When two children do their homework, two help their mother in kitchen for cooking food, two cleans house while the other two go playing in the ground.My wife supervises them and I go to office.No one try to find fault in other, but if he/she if notice anything wrong he/she himself corrects it.Elder children help the younger in studies, while I help the elders in studies.In this way there is no need of tuition.I just purchase the books for the eldest one and the same books transfers to the next one.So, no need to purchase the new books for the others.Same way I purchase branded clothes for the elder one and every year these shifts to the younger one.Like this we are managing very well.
I asked him why they are not stopping production.He told me that it is the system which is made by nature.So, we should not change it by artificial methods.After spending some more time we came back and discussed at home.Although it is not good to have these many children at this time but the management was very good.
