[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]Anecdotally, I think the desire to have a big family also depends on whether you were one of the oldest or youngest. My parents both came from families of 5. All of the older kids were adamant about not having more than two. The younger ones wanted more -- but more like 3-4, not 5+. Same with DH's family. The older ones remember more of the drudgery and responsibility of having to watch younger kids, whereas the younger kids remember how fun it was with more people. [/quote] Doesn’t hold in my family. Female and oldest of 4, and hope to have 4-6 myself (assuming secondary infertility doesn’t get in the way, have been dealing with that). Definitely would not describe my childhood as drudgery though...I almost never babysat my siblings.[/quote]
