This blog is for my thoughts and things that I relate to as i go through my family relations class. This first week that really stood out to me was family trends. The biggest one that made me think about was smaller families. It made me think what are really the reasons behind having smaller families. I can relate personally that we had a smaller family due to the fact that my mother could not have more than two kids. That did not stop my parents. Later on my parents adopted two more girls to make our family bigger. I did some digging around and found that people have less kids for reasons like money, time, and effort. It was sad to see those things but I guess that's what it has come to these days.
