   Ultimately I think the only logical answer is it really depends on the parents. If they have kids carelessly and are irresponsible and have poor parenting skills, it doesn't really matter if they're rich or poor, if they've got 1 or 10, it's going to be a hotbed of problems and unhappiness.

      I agree, just like any ethnic religious choice ext, there is good there is bad not all black people are gang members, not all Christians are hypocrites. People are all unique and each situation is unique.

   (7) There is more individualized time to develop one's unique talents & potentials.

   (10) There is more equal parity between husband/father & wife/mother & brother/sister or child.
   (11) There is an equal partnership between husband/father & wife/mother as both are educated & have careers.  The husband/father doesn't have to assume all of the socioeconomic burdens like they do in large families.
   (12) Children are more advanced intellectually as they interact primarily w/parents instead of w/siblings who are merely children themselves.
   (13) Children are advanced academically because there are more individualized parent-child time.
