So maybe a big family isn't such a good idea.' However, Omar is quick to add, 'In a big family like mine, children often share clothes and toys, so the financial side isn't as difficult as you might think. Maybe we didn't go on expensive holidays, but we learnt a lot from each other about sharing and responsibility.'
