[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Money. Good health of all parents and kids, or at least manageable health. Fertility, obviously, and starting when you're pretty young. A husband who's very much into the idea of a large family. A willingness to be a career SAHM and never have a significant job, ever.

You have to accept a certain level of noise, and that your kids are not going to get the 1:1 attention that many people think is beneficial. You will not be able to micromanage any of your kids academically or socially. If any serious problem crops up, the rest of the kids will feel pretty under-attended-to for a while. The older kids will sort of separate from the family in high school to avoid being pressed into a babysitter role with the little ones. When your younger ones launch, you will become a grandma-- there will never be much of a break from having little kids in your life.

If this all sounds great to you, I think it can be a beautiful way of life.[/quote]

This and a lot of organization with both parents. Not a lot beyond family in your life.[/quote]
