Purpose of many kids

Jecliyaaye, Helwaa run out of words. it takes a man to silence a lifetime singlinimo

Basra, Yasmeen does not impress me as someone who has put down or paid the time to become a prolific writer. someone that lacks the experience to analyze something at its core while exploring its complexities, but rather seems your simpleton xaliimo half-graduated gambit that sees an opportunity to write a book and takes the bite. i rather read that Hargeysa chick in the UK that is writing about her father, though about the same age, she seems the kind that studied in the hallway while the janitors put off the light, and the effects of preserving under a dim light or no light, is clearly printed on her face everytime she speaks.

Children are part of the beauty of life, and they're a gift and a blessing by Allah. As a result, I believe it's Ok to have more than 4 kids as long as the parent knows their responsibility towards their children.

The key phrase being "as long as the parent knows their responsibility towards their children"

It is better and more responsible to have no kid than have the kid and destroy their future by not meeting the responsiblity of parenthood.

Mr. Smith

I see u glamorize somali culture with heightened fruitful language. IT is very ironic and hypocritical as u were NOT born into somali culture.

The poster: you trying to compare us with the standard of the Western families. Back in the days, our grand parents’ times, they used have 10 + children, each man used to marry more than one – it was some kind of rights of passage for them to have more than one wife. ( ) Hada both of my grand-fathers were married several times, I bet is like that with you and many snetters, our grand parents had many children. My mom has many siblings, so is my dad, it was no problem for them. Not to mention, they were poorer or shall I say didn’t have the luxury we have today and they turned out fine. No druggies, alcoholic and wh0res in the family, why is it problem these days to have as many children? What’s stopping us? Is it because we trying to live the life of a westerner? The materialistic world got the best of us. I have to admit I’m guilty of that too. (Not wanting lots of children) I do like to live a life of simplicity, when it comes to kids. God knows what the hubby is going to say about that. I haven’t got lots of siblings, I don’t know what it feels like having 100 little brats as siblings, it would irritate me I guess, but that’s how I was brought up and that’s how I like it, nothing to do western way of life.

As for the hygiene stuff you talking about, it’s the first time someone mentioned Somali families as not being hygienic, is quite the opposite really. We are one of the cleanest people I have ever met. My aunt has 10 children, and i swear her house is cleaned and super duper tidy; the kids are always on top shape with their hygiene. Is different with each family, it has nothing to do with being ‘large Somali family’

I guess there is good side to having lots of children though in this society I cant figure out what good you get out of 10 children. But Allah knows best, and as we know in Islam Ilaah baa quudinaya ciyaalkan, so dhal as many as you can and say Alhamdulillah do what you can to bring them up as good kids, and hope for the best, at the end of the day the Muslim Ummah baad kordhinaysaa. There are people today who would do anything to have one child – just one.

if you're not ready to give 110% of your time and energy to your kids, do not have even one!
it's not only about financial, what's point having kids when khadamat raising them?

So u r a girl? I do admire how u follow the novelistic endeavors of somali coming writers. Will recommend me to write and what should be the subject?

The average child under 4 years old needs around $400/month for basic necessities like clothing, food, miscell supplies, etc in North America. That's not including shelter, utilities, transportation, and all the other stuff the household needs. If you know you're poor, spare us and do not have children. If you are ignorant, illiterate, or an under-achiever, spare the civilized world and raise the few Allah has already blessed you with. If you're a woman who can not be bothered to learn the spelling of her child's name or date of birth, consider getting spayed. If you're a dead beat male who knows he can't provide for his family, but would rather the government raise them for him, consider chopping your testicles off, because you've long ago lost wixi ragnimo ahaa.

Seriously, this is not Somalia where having many kids had economical and social benefits. Either live in the civilized world, or go back to whatever shithole you crawled out from. Family planning is not only allowed in Islam, its encouraged to space out the kids a minimum of 2 years. But try telling that to any Somali family and see the reaction. Its about quality rather than quantity.

What a brilliant rant! Condescending and wrong but brilliant nonetheless.

In west somalis have so many kids because they dont need to pay anything for them they all are on welfare benefits and shyt and to be honest the more kids they have the more money they get for them. Back in Somalia, they dont need to spend much money on the kids and besides they cant control how many kids they have way iska dhalaan uun.

Basra I heard shariff dalxiis rejected your marriage proposal because he thought you looked like a Dinka from sudan even though he was giving up his dream to be an American.

Here is a related article on the cost of raising a child.

http://blogs.wsj.com/juggle/2010/06/10/ ... -ticks-up/

People who decide to become parents in the West should take their parental responsibilies seriously. I have seen many young people over the heads in debt because there is no adult capable of supporting them.


Do not take the article's economic of scales theory as a carte blanche for having a dozen and 1 kid. Quality of life and parental responsiblities towards that child should be paramount
