[quote=Anonymous]Oldest of five here. In some ways, growing up in a large family was fun, and I love all of my brothers and sisters, but especially as the oldest I was put in a mock parenting/babysitting role from the age of 10. Not so great. My younger siblings, who are in their mid-30s, still don't take responsibility for things - they just think I will do it. We also didn't travel much or have new clothes, etc, though my parents did provide some $ for college, which I appreciated. I have an only, and would not have more than 2 kids. There are three reasons why - we can't afford a big family, I want to be able to focus more individual attention on my child, and I would not want to be a SAHM like my mother was, which if I had that many kids, would be a necessity. My parents also had a tough time adjusting to empty nest, and are now divorced. [/quote]
