[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I didn't but my best friend growing up was one of 4 kids.  They had a great dynamic - there was a big age difference between the two older and the two younger (8 years-ish) so I think that helped.  Now that the kids are grown and have their own families, they have a huge clan of cousins that all hang out together and I'm jealous, I love that!  Each of the younger generation seem to be having more 'typically' sized families - 2 kids each.[/quote]

I grew up as an only. DH grew up with one brother, and then after his parents divorced his dad's new wife had a baby to try to keep the marriage intact (didn't work).

We have four, with a huge age gap between the older two and the younger two. I made very, very sure that we could afford to raise them all mostly the same way (so the 4th wouldn't be forced to wear clothes worn by all 3 of her siblings) and that the older two would not be forced to babysit the younger two. It's worked out quite well (the older two are in college, and the littles are in elementary school). [/quote]
