[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]1) If they’re not asking for your advice, say nothing. MYOB.

2) There’s a reason you (generally) have them one at a time. High likelihood they end up choosing to have fewer kids than that (don’t say this to them! This is an FYI for you)

3) If they are asking for your advice, don’t ask at DCUM. There’s a real small family bias here. Even 3 kids is seen as an outlier. As is the case in high cost of living places among upper middle class professionals. That’s a demo that has 1-3 kids, not more. But there are plenty of people all over the country, and even here in the DC area, that have 4 or more kids. Those are the people to talk to about this. Not randos on DCUM. I’d be shocked if anyone who responded so far has 4 kids. [/quote]

Small family bias, true, but rightfully so.

Kids take money lots of it. Kids need attention lots of it. When people have these large families mom isn't raising these kids the older siblings are.

Mom of four kids here:  We have lots of money and none of my kids are raising each other.  Just sayin.[/quote]
