[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Have a 4th! I'm almost due with #5. Grew up one of four. Not much difference between 3 and 4. [/quote]

The difference is each kid will get less time, attention and money the more u have.[/quote]
They give attention to each other as well. I think that's silly. There are lots of advantages to having siblings. [/quote]

They need attention from the parents not the siblings. This is  what pp was pointing out pawning off parental duties on the siblings.[/quote]
Oh please. Kids having other kids to play with isn't pawning off duties.

I assure you my 6 year old and 5 year old aren't overly burdened by my 2 and 1 year olds. But they definitely enjoy playing with each other and that definitely makes my job as parent easier.[/quote]

Siblings playing with each other doesn't qualify as the parental attention a child needs to thrive.   again you prove pp's point.[/quote]
You sound like a helicopter parent. My kids have plenty of love and all kinds of affection and space to grow as well. We have a loving warm home with lots of friendw and family.  Siblings enrich our lives don't take away from it.

I'm sorry for your lonely isolated existence where you can only fathom a loving relationship with 1 or 2 children.  [/quote]

Again with your fairytales.  You think parenting is all about activities and playing that you interestingly describe as helicoptering. The truth is you are more likely to miss something important happening with your child because you have 4 kids, your attention in your big , funny, happy house   is too divided.[/quote]
