I guess it's what you're used to, and honestly, how much time do any of us spend actually just loving our children. Isn't it the things you do for your family that show your love and commitment to them? How long does it take to give your child a hug? Not long, but it usually means the world to them.
I just think we all live our lives according to what's most important to us and our ideals. Different people have different opinions about what's ideal. There's no doubt in my mind that what large families lose in some ways like being able to go to theme parks and out to dinner, they gain by knowing they've always got someone to hang around with and do stuff with. There'll always be someone who can help them out and get them on their way.
None of us can have everything, but we all can have different things. I think there'd be just as many pro's and con's living in a large family as there are living in a small one.
