This makes sense. Parents with more kids have more parenting experience, and are probably less stressed from things that happen and are more efficient in taking care of tasks that need to be done. Like cooking, for example. Cooking for 7 and cooking for 4 is basically the same. You just increase portions.
Having older children able to take care of the younger ones is a bonus.
Having said all that, if you asked me if I was going to have 5 children, I would laugh in your face.

"The truth is that our finest moments are most likely to occur when we are feeling deeply uncomfortable, unhappy, or unfulfilled. For it is only in such moments, propelled by our discomfort, that we are likely to step out of our ruts and start searching for different ways or truer answers." (M. Scott Peck)
