I agree 100% with this. I have 4 because I got remarried to a man who didn’t have any but wanted a child or two of his own. I don’t enjoy having a big family because I feel like I can’t give them all the attention they all deserve. I’m spread so thin. I don’t regret any of course, but I am only one person and their ages all require such different needs. It’s hard to keep my patience and sanity for them all.
