All that is fine, but why would anyone in their sane mind have 5 freaking children? Why are Americans obsessed with having such big families? Do you keep spare kids for ghosts to haunt? (like they show in all horror movies)
In India, we call decision of having more than 2 kids insane & cost even though raising a child in India is much lesser.
What am I missing? It's a big cultural shock.
- tpreetham 4y agoI doubt if that's the norm. It's their choice, perhaps they enjoy raising children.
- newaccount74 4y agoIt depends on your situation. If you have two full time working parents then two kids is already a lot. Especially if you have your first kid in your thirties. If you have two parents working part time, maybe in jobs with flexible hours, and grandparents who can help out, and day care / schooling is affordable in your area, and you start having kids in your twenties, then having more kids can work.
- rosiesherry 4y agoI'm not American. Be careful about jumping to conclusions. Some people have no kids. Some people have lots. Does it really matter?

- zakki 4y agoAre you sure there is no family in India having 5 children?
