Precisely, one can say that how to live in such a family - only those who lived in it can know. It will also be worth mentioning that this is very difficult. That is why most families are solved for one, a maximum of two children.
First, a large family is first and foremost a heavy burden on parents. Usually, before children can help at least a little at home, mom and dad have to invest the maximum amount of physical strength, resources and nerves for the full development of the baby. Secondly, often difficulties arise when it is necessary to share everything evenly, if food and clothes are a little easier, then sometimes problems arise with time and attention. And the main thing is still the fact of a frequent lack of money, especially when children begin to receive education. And, as is known, our free education and medicine are not cheap.
As to distribute the family budget, that would live economically in a large family.
Who was the first to get up, that and slippers.
Of course, modern families with many children receive a certain amount from the state as a token of gratitude, for raising the demographic situation, toli as compensation for boldness. But those who face this, understand the ridiculousness of such sums, and that only on them, it is unreal to live. Therefore, parents have to work a lot at home, and at work, sometimes not even on one. Most difficulties arise when children need to be provided with clothing.
By the way, it is she who can become a means of economy in a large family. It's clear that if there are three or more children in the family, someone will definitely be of the same sex. As you know, children grow fast, and just as quickly grow out of their clothes and shoes. If you neatly put more suitable for wearing clothes, then the younger generation will partially be provided to it. Yes, and such a concept of how to wear out for a brother or sister is usually familiar even to children from not large families.
Food.
How much money a day goes to full-fledged food in a large family, it is unlikely that someone will decide to count. After all, if you beat up the whole sum spent on filling a refrigerator, for a month - the result can shock. Of course, to save on food, and buy goods of poor quality, or do not buy any products necessary to purchase a minimum - not an option. Children should fully eat, and parents too, because with such loads, the body will simply not have something to replenish its strength. There are several options here, and both are worth the effort and effort of the parents, as well as, if possible, their relatives.
Option number 1: we prepare ourselves. The store shelves are filled with various semi-finished products. But every mistress understands that even if the product is of acceptable quality, the price is clearly overstated. It is much more economical and more profitable to cook everything yourself. The only "but", this, is that cooking takes time. If there are older children, then you can attract them, but while the kids are small, moms need to tear to pieces. In such cases, let you, your spouse will understand and forgive, but for the menu you will have to choose simple dishes that do not require large financial and physical expenses. Culinary masterpieces you will pamper him later. Moreover, at home, it is possible to cook almost everything, and in most cases it turns out even better.
Option number 2: a house in the village. How to live sparingly in a large family, while not limiting children in the necessary vegetables and fruits? That's right, grow them yourself. Better yet, if your parents or relatives do it. It's time for seasoned gardeners-gardeners have already passed, but still there are people who are not averse to tackling this laborious business. It is especially good if such people agree, share with you the fruits of their labor, gratuitously or for a moderate, or maybe even a nominal fee. And in this case, it will be not only about the products of plant origin, it is possible option and the receipt of the table of dairy products, meat, eggs - this helps to save such necessary funds.
Recreation.
After many working days, and months of constant work, everyone wants to relax. If most families who do not have children, or have, but one offensive vacation, vacation and weekends are perceived in joy. That for a large family, sometimes it can cause stupor. After all, children at the time of rest need something to do, and in the summer and somewhere to drive, they also need care. And if on regular days some care was taken by a kindergarten or a school, on the day off and on holidays the children are left to themselves and their parents all day. Accordingly, parents also need at least some rest, and restoration of strength. How to be in this situation?
Usually for such families in the summer or during the vacation period the state allocates vouchers for health camps and sanatoriums. There, children spend their time, and often even with great pleasure. The change in the situation and the new team are beneficial to the children, as well as to parents who at this time can be alone, and simply to sleep off.
Back to the house in the village. If you have such an opportunity, to fuse children for a vacation or a vacation to grandparents - do it. Especially if your parents live far away from the city. Fresh air, active time, fruits and vegetables immediately from the garden - will affect your children better than any resort. At the same time, such a vacation will not cost you anything. Do not be afraid, overload your parents. In most cases, children from large families are very independent, and grandmothers will surely be happy with all these little troubles.
It is rather difficult to live economically in a large family, at the same time, trying to take into account the needs of everyone. But as practice shows, this is possible. Do not regret the efforts you have made, most importantly remember why, or rather for whom you are doing it.
