[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Life is a struggle, and it makes you strong. How many great Americans were raised in large families that had to make do without so much fancy stuff? You can pay for college with a ROTC scholarship. If having another kid is more important than raising them in the lap of luxury, then go for it, and you will all be happier ever after. nb: I can hear the “OK Boomer” echo already.[/quote] Weren't they raised by stay at home moms though? Not to get into a SAHM vs WOHM battle (as kids from both households fare well! no arguments from me there) but the division of labor in the days of the large families was pretty delineated and the dad's salary back then could support the family (if frugally). It's a different world now, and juggling two full time jobs plus one spouse's travel schedule, and adding in current healthcare and college costs creates a whole different ball game.[/quote]
