Having children is a big task. You give up on your privacy, luxury and comfort to rise them, and if you don't expect something from it then you must be a saint.😳 I think many ppl in the west don't want children , because in their culture children aren't supposed to take care of their parents when they grow old. So why should they have children then?. I know there must be a selfishness in my thinking. I am not just talking about the financial support , the emotional one as well. Talking to your parents daily or weekly can make them happy, yet many ppl don't do it specially when they live far away from their parents. Believe me nothing equals the love a mother or a father has for his child.. when you love someone this much it breaks your heart when he doesn't love you or ask about your well being.
In Aulaad the kids were living in the same house with their parents , so they had to share the financial matters. They aren't asked to pay rent of the house which belongs to their parents, so at least they can pay for the pills or food. It is a sign of responsibility.. plus their father didn't ask for more that what they can offer. Remember their father didn't save a benny , all his money he spent on educating his children.. and they got good jobs only because of his support. Jalal had 5 children. It isn't easy to rise them, and give them good education .. he worked hard, and gave up on many things to make sure his children won't suffer in future. If you compare this to the western culture.. most of parents have only a child or two.. but here in the 3rd world families contain many children ..salaries aren't high.. so the joint family system is a need.. and everyone in the family has to share the responsibility of it.😊
