That's such a stupid argument when people make it... My sister and I are 18 months apart...never in all our childhood did we play together... My brother is 20 months younger than me... It took us 35 years for us to want to spend time togther. It's stupid to assume that two siblings will be built in playmates.
Having many kids has one useful benefit that I can see.. When mom and dad are old and feeble, it's more people to push the parents off on, or more people to pick up the tab for the nursing home because mom and dad had no money for retirement after raising all those kids
