[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I think it is a gift to your kids to have a big family. That's just me.[/quote]

OP here. I agree![/quote]

Mom to 4 here. It's tough even if your kids are easy kids/baby stage (relatively) easy. There are a lot of logistics to work out especially as they get older/school age. My biggest problem is 1 on 1 time with each. It's small and short with each and I always wish I could give them more ("oh sorry, Larla, we can't read together anymore tonight. I think your 2 yr old brother just knocked over your brother's meticulous Lego city. I hear a ton of crying..."). 
Plus, for me personally, I have a hard time shifting gears between #4 and the older kids.

Also, is your DH involved? Mine works all the time so the kids don't have a lot of face time and I solo parent - that's exhausting and will drain you really fast.

Having said all that, I don't mean to be a debbie downer. The kids are really good kids and are helpful and I love my family to pieces. Just wanted to give you a  bit of perspective and logistics. [/quote]
