[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I grew up as one of four and mostly liked it. The hardest part was not getting as many invites as a family because it was “so many people” to have over. Mostly a lot of great childhood memories and my siblings are close friends to me as adults. I hope to have 4 or 5, so far we have 2 and are currently trying for a 3rd.[/quote]

I can see this. My sister is pregnant with her 4th and is a fairly hands off parent, especially once her kids are toddlers on. She also has two large dogs who are obnoxious (but friendly.) I love her but really don’t want any part of her circus so I don’t see her that much (3 hours away.)

Agree.  Not all large families I'm sure, but at least two that I know seem to think that "embracing the chaos" of a large families means that everyone else around them should too.  I don't care how they run their own house, but I don't appreciate it when they come over, the kids basically tear the place apart, and mom and dad just sit there and laugh and drink -- "well, life with a large family is just crazy amirite?"  I suppose so, but I'll keep the crazy out of my house.  [/quote]
