It is
normal for financial experts to talk about money as if it is merely a
matter of naira and kobo. While this may be true, when you are preparing
a profit and loss statement for a business, it is definitely not the
case when you are dealing with families, especially families with a baby
on the way. Emotions come into play. This is why figuring out household
finances can sometimes be such a knotty affair; there are so many
issues to deal with than just money alone.
When you have a baby, your own childhood and the way you
were raised will greatly influence how you act as a parent. Perhaps you
were an only child. Because of this, you may want to have only one child
yourself. Of course, the reverse may also be true and you may want to
have a big family, so your children will have siblings you never had.
