[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]I have 6 kids.... I think kids don't need so much one in one. Ducks from the dcum rotten tomatoes. I make sure they each have carved out time. Was easier before Covid with regular shopping trips. One kid came Monday, one kid weds, another gets speech therapy so we have the way there and back. As long as there's space and time they can count on to talk about whatever is on their mind. My kids complain about lots of things (mainly my cooking and not having as much stuff) but not about lack of attention, and we're easygoing personalities [/quote]

I think what people here seem to be forgetting is that kids don't really WANT to be with parents all the time. They love playing with other kids. Siblings are great for that. And those siblings growing up are going to make for a great tribe. We need as mighty of a village as we can muster well into adulthood. So good for you, PP. I have 3 and feel like it's too little. We wanted 4 but couldn't make it happen, so we're happy with the 3 that we have. [/quote]

I totally agree with this.

I have 3 kids and cannot handle more both financially and time wise. That said, I would never judge someone that chooses to have more kids. We all have our own beliefs on what is more important (siblings, education, 1:1 time with parents, etc.).

I have personally seen more single child family that turn to tv, sleeping pills, video games, etc. to entertain their kid than families with multiple kids. This is probably because when you have a sibling you can entertain yourself playing with them...

Ok, sure, but you get the whole sibling relationship/playmate thing from having 2.  [/quote]
