[quote=Anonymous]I grew up around a lot of LDS families and it seems like 4 or 5 is a common number now. Since they're LDS, they almost all have SAHMs (regardless of income level or what job the mom held before--in the LDS community, that doesn't really matter since women are discouraged from staying home under almost all circumstances) or moms that work in the types of jobs you can do from home a few hours a week (wedding/kids photographer seems to be a popular profession, freelance graphic design and interior design are also popular if they majored in that in college...MLM stuff seems to by dying, thank God). Anyhow, 4 to 5 fits the desire to have a "big" family (since it's bigger than "normal") but 4 or 5 is also somewhat manageable in that they still fit in a single vehicle (minivan) and you can still have the kids in a lot of activities and sports if you divide and conquer with a sitter/nanny/au pair doing some of the driving.[/quote]
