Freudian slip? You wrote: '...people that grew up in large values themselves', when you obviously meant 'large families'. According to the Freudians, that slip-up suggests that deep down you believe large families are a positive value, but wanting to seem 'modern' and going with today's mainstream popcultrure flow, you are suppressing that thought..
Oops, my apologies Polonius3 for the misunderstanding
I certainty see the positives of a large household & it is difficult to find any negatives in having a large extended family around (Grandparents, Uncles, Cousins etc). But the problem is financial
Unless you are wealthy or live in the city outskirts, it is difficult to afford a large household. I grew up with my own room, I would feel weird forcing two of my children to share a room for example. Such freedoms are eliminated once more children come into the equation. I personally rather give my children every privilege & advantage possible versus splitting my time & money between multiple children
