I have to be honest and note that I am number six of seven children. So really I don’t see anything wrong with this.

Back in the 70′s I got the impression that over population was a big problem. And responsible people only had one kid and worked hard to pay taxes so irresponsible people could have as many as they wanted.

Now we are told that most nations will have falling populations. And if we stick with the two child family then our grand chidren will be speaking Spanish.

And finally, hey if you can afford to have four kids then why not? Let the successful people try to raise healthy kids. If they accomplish nothing else they will at least learn a lot more about human nature.
