I'm probably on the very early part of the parenting curve here--one 9-mo. old son. But that little guy has brought more joy into our home and hearts than we ever could have imagined. I used to panic if a dish made it overnight without being washed, and it took me a while to accept that I'd have to let that go He's our little bundle of entropy. But we definitely want more and cannot think of any reason why a child would be anything other than a blessing. It drives me nuts to hear people talk about how much they enjoy business trips because they get away from their spouses and kids. Get away to what, drinking after a conference and watching crummy TV in a hotel room?
To the people with 7+ kids...at what point do you start getting all their names confused?
Another interesting thing that's been observed before, is that the typical secularized lifestyles in western culture (even the "conservative" variety) goes hand-in-glove with small families, sometimes with no children at all. So if Reformed people keep cranking out the babies, we'll have the numbers in a few more generations
