That is pretty much what had me make that choice years ago. I remember the squabbling that my parents had over finances, I remember worries about how to be able to get me to flute practice and my brother to his broom ball game. You can be incredibly busy with one child alone.
I don't know how some manage it with 3, 4, 5+ children.. even so, I am not going to suggest to them that they had too many. Why suggest to another they had too few?
