It's great to be back taking part in the 17th season of the Steemit Engagement Challenge in this community which discusses family issues. There are many meanings of family and the simplest of the words are father, mother and child. However, is it that simple?

Well, dear friends, in my opinion, family is not only limited to father, mother and child, but within it there must also be emotional ties, trust and curiosity about each other. Since the beginning of marriage, two couples are not complete without the presence of a child and when they have children, a small family will be formed.

I am the second child of five children, but none of them live at home with my mother because they are busy and also have their own families. My mother said after my father died, that having many children does not guarantee that we will live in old age accompanied by our children.

Actually, this became a very powerful whip in my heart. I'm starting to think about being more careful with my very young children at the moment. At the age of 31, I already have 3 children who were close in birth and I am happy with all of them.

I've had two miscarriages since I first got married and the doctor said that if this happens to me again, then most likely I won't have children. Until my first child was born, we planned to raise him without pausing to have a second child. And after the second child was born, then we carried out a pregnancy program.

Agreement between husband and wife and the responsibilities of both. There are many joys and aspirations when raising two children at once, we are friends but also enemies. Why is that? Yes, that's what a family is, all the emotions poured into it, but it doesn't reduce the love and break the ties between the two of them. I agree that it is better to think and take several steps to become a happy family, both in terms of number of family members, economics and the parenting style applied.

I love having lots of family members, it will feel much busier, more cheerful, more enthusiastic, more dizzy, more tired, more disheveled, but the bottom line is this will make me very happy, and when they grow up, the thing I'm afraid of is little by little they no longer need my help, even though they are said to be independent, as a mother, they are still babies who are very dear and loved.

I like it when they laugh, run and also hold each other's hands tightly, my heart feels safe and calm. Able to turn fatigue into enthusiasm again. However, when they disagree, even though it's just the two of them, it feels like they are in the same village.

What is clear is that for me having a large family is more interesting and I will hear a lot of stories even though it makes my hair frizzy and my eyes black. And considering something with its consequences will be much better because it will reduce a lot of risks in the future. If the mother is happy, the child will also be happy. Let's be happy, because we have a lot of future at stake, even if it's just one or two children.
