Gripping narration. The plight of every where middle class families. They do not mind the number perhaps 10+

The daily grind of a mother...! Life is not easy for her tending eight children....! Though not enough money to splurge in luxury, the family seems to be happy, enjoying the stray moments falling between tedious chores! A slice of everyday life so well rendered!

An interesting satire on an unplanned family, the message is clear, one should plan a family to restrict the number of children.

Wife remains busy for preparing breakfast from early dawn. Light is sprinkled with hope. Lifestyle is well witnessed. The dusk is romantic a full moon is ahead that we see in sky of hope. Children in dejection go to their beds. Fine weather is seen in moonlight night. Number nine is good. The children should be at least nine. Brilliant and excellent poem is drafted and shared as per perception....10

Interesting write. Is 8 not a good number? Delightful picture of messy morning. The perfect picture too has 8 children. Loved reading it.
