[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]In this area you have to be extremely wealthy or just not do any extra's. We spend a lot of money on two activities plus other things for our one child and I couldn't imagine doing it for four, especially paying for college.[/quote] Plus any vacation is going to $$$$. That is 6 plane tickets and 2 hotel rooms. Or an Airbnb to fit 6 people isn’t cheap either in vacation destinations. In the time and place you are references OP, where big families were more common, people also lived very differently. They almost never went to restaurants, did extracurriculars that were paid for, or took vacations other than taking a big RV to a campground maybe. Plus on a farm, more kids is more help. In DC, more kids is more expense and headache. Think about what kind of lifestyle you want to have and what opportunities you want to be able to give your other 3 kids first- if you aren’t already pregnant[/quote]
