Three Child Policy : What Are Your Say About This?

22 87

I was browsing various articles yesterday and came across DennMarc's topic about the "Three Child Policy for Filipino Families," (and by the way, congratulations on your accomplishments Denn). Back to the topic, I learned about it from my mother at first. We were having some chitchats when she mentioned that there is a new law which states that families should have no more than three children.

Personally, I agree on this concept, for sure most of you have observe that families who are in low class prefer to have a lot of children while families who are in high class prefer to have a limited child/children.

Advantages of having a lot of children

More members, more force, more power

During my first time of joining our reunion, I was surprised by how many the siblings of my grandmother has, and she inherited it because she has eight children and my father is the third from the eldest. For me, eight children is a large number, but according to my father, grandma has the fewest children because her siblings have more than ten.

According to their beliefs, the more children you have, the more you reach their social standards, and having a large family gives you power and makes you popular. When two long-distance friends reunited, their usual topic of conversation was "how many children you have," and the more children you have, the better.

Helping and support system

Just like my father, since he have 7 more siblings each of them has their own responsibilities in daily life: one is responsible for feeding the cow, another for washing the dishes, another for accompanying their father fishing, and so on. . The tasks became easy and fast, unlike being only one child and you need to do a lot of chores

Enjoyable

This is why I felt jealous to those who a lot of siblings, if I found out that someone have a lot of siblings, I always say, "for sure it's fun!". And all their answers was yes, just war when they fight haha

These are just few from many advantages of having a lot of kids. But then, although there are advantage, there are major disadvantage why people and now the government prefer to limit it.


Disadvantages of having a lot of children

Parents can't afford the needs and wants for everyone

As a parents, there must be no bias, and having a lot of children is hard as they need to give to everyone what they gave to one. Example, if you give a new dress to child #1, then you must give to child #2, #3.... and this became hard for the parents.

No time for everyone

I don't know if this happened to you if you're having a lot of siblings, but based on my father's experience their parents don't have time to everyone of them as they are so many, no time to check one by one, and he personally not close to his father until he reached 30s. This give a gap to parent's connection to his children, as before their goal is to survive not to give love.

Less money, no savings

Before, I told my parents why there's only two of us, I'm asking why only two why not three of four, because for me it's fun having 2 or 3 more siblings. She answered, "because we want to give a good life to the both of you, to give all your need and wants, and also for us to save money that when it comes to emergency, we don't need to worry."


I don't know what are your opinions about this issue, yet as what I have said I agree on this, because this doesn't only help the parents in living, but to give a quality of life that every children deserves. Aside from this, the more couples do family planning, the more it helps to our economy.

I'm not into children talaga pero iilan lang talaga yung nagugustuhan kong bata like sa unang tingin ko lang parang cute cute and ansaya alagaan pero ganun nga kung di afford ng parents and mga gastusin at pag aalaga sa mga anak sana matutunan nila mag family planning, kasi di lang sila ang mahihirapan if ever kundi pati yung mga anak nila mag susuffer din.

I believe that each individual comes in this world has its own destiny by Almighty God who is best giver. Then we must be sensible and wise to choose the right way. Three kids plan by government also looks inngoid sound because the authorities concern every thing.

Yes, having many children can be so sweet but that's only if the finance to cater for them is available. The economy is tough already and life is becoming tougher, bring in many children in this era when the purse of the man is not full, there'll definitely be a problem.

In my house we are much though, but God is helping us

According to me, 3 children are enough. So we can manage their expenses easily. More children are like headaches and can't fullfil their basic needs so we would be considered bad parents. With fewer children, we can easily handle them and improve their quality of life. But if we are much richer then more children are acceptable lol.

There are lot of children that are where they do not wish to be but it's like they do not have a choice. Let's take Nigeria for example, the government here is somehow. Many kids are roaming the street because they have no choice

Too much children leads to Economic pressure and eventually leads to Mother's poor health and also Children neglected at home,Malnutrition,Lack of better, educational facilities, Insufficient medical care but if the family is solid wealthy there's no fault in having more children as long as they provide proper health care

You stated the major negative effects of having a lot of children, and also to the mother. Hopefully this law became an eye opener for everyone.

This must be suppressing our freedom, but I still agree with this policy. People nowadays don't care about making babies! Alam mo may narinig ako na nag uusap sa jeep, ung kilala nya gusto maraming anak para daw dagdag sa 4p's na financial assistance ng gbyerno. OMG! Tama ba yan?!

There are a lot of children in the streets and these children didn't ask to be born into the streets, some families like giving birth and they want children to surround their tables but they won't take care of them properly, I think the decision is good but shouldn't be forced to the citizens, the government should make them see reasons

I disagree with the decision of the government because it's must be parents choice how many kids they want what if a girl pregnant after her 3rd baby she have to abort the baby isn't it a worst thing

Thanks for sharing your idea, I got your point. I guess there's an exemption, for example if they can provide all the wants and needs of your children then no problem; you have work and your status in life is good. About abortion our country is against on it. Maybe our government just realized that many family keeps on producing offsprings without thinking on what are the disadvantage of it:)

I don't know for me, but the important thing to talk about is the couple because they are the ones who know if they can or not

The government had its reason why they want to implementa 3 child policy since the resources of this country isn't enough to sustain everyone's needs in future. Another thing is the problem in family, like what you've said, parents having lots of children can't afford what they needs once they are living under poverty line. This policy is commendable since it might limit the growth of our population.

Tumpak! In this case family planning is very important, and I guess it is a must in some places like rural areas, I have seen in documentary that they have a lot of kids already at the young age.
