blackchickenahkai SG ok..no offense here.. just my point of view.. often i see sob stories of poor people who need aid and donations from the public in the tv.. not to say that i am cruel or snobbish and arrogant bcoz i am rich.. but why must they have like a lot of childens..(a lot meaning like 7 and above) and they cant take care of all of them... i feel bad whenever i see them suffering..but somehow i feel angry bcoz they cant feed their childrens bcoz hey hve a lot of it.. why cant they have like 2-3 children?. well my grandfather have 3 wives and 26 childrens..but e can suportall of them.. so....should poor ppl have less childrens?
dork3d SG Well, can’t blame them. They can’t afford other monetary type of entertainment, thus it’s like back to the old days where there isn’t much night entertainment, they have intimacy with their spouses lor.
ShutterBug SG Err.. it's hard not to bring up race, but aren't they mostly Malay families who have a lot of children? I hardly see low income Chinese families who have lots of children.
shinta SG just becos u see more malay families doesn mean its mostly malays who have many children. most of the malays i noe have only max 3 kids.. except for 1... she's the 11th at home if i rmb correctly.. or she's teh 7th of 11 kids? hmmz on a side note.. i noe of many chinese families with 4-6 kids at hm
mhcampboy SG well….lets view it on the brighter side. now they are poor and hard cos need to support the children. but eventually, the children will grow up. and having 10 children to take care of you during your golden years….man…tats heavenly. Perfect example is my grandfather who is also a great grandfather already. Living life maciam Lee kuan yew already. Has his own maid. living in his own landed property. If he needs to go medical check up or what…just a phone call would do and anyone of his children and grandchildren would come and fetch him. hahahah the funny part is, most of my mums siblings argue who took care of my grandfather the most. ironic. anyway….. the point is… suffer now. but in later years, it will be ok for these poor family. Gov wunt allow people to die of hunger. i think…...
^tamago^ SG this is learned in geography wat. they have many children so that 1) more children will survive since their mortality rate is lower 2) more children means more labour in the fields 3) more children means high chances that one of them will take care of the parents one day when they grow old
blackchickenahkai SG but more chilren means more liability to feed them.. most of thse childrens dont even complete their primary school.. so is that good?. isn't iot better to have 1 child and make sure he gets the best?
blackchickenahkai SG i dont mean sg.. sg have low birth rate so government is promoting early marriage and more birth.. i;m talking across the causeway to you know where
sinicker SG the joy of having cute, little children beats the satisfaction(if any) of having lots of $!
sinicker SG wah your explanation good. the poor have lots of time. how many hours a day do they have?
798 SG when pple become unlucky, feed bird also become rootster. i had seen a couple who were poor n they gave birth to a triplet. n when the wife was pregnant again, n guess wat? twin again! the poor husband has to work like hell for living expense. but i believe having alot of children is great, cos i believe one of out many will achieve success. unlike the rich, where the children fighting for parents' will after they are gone.
