Is there merits, or hidden benefits for large families, especially where there are five or more children born to the woman?
Large families these days are quite rare, to the point where four children is considered a noticeable brood.
I think his has had to do with both parents in families sadly working, and buying into the idea that "less is more" as far as kiddies go
.
But if you will, examine these large families for me

Notice a common theme with all of them. The children all seem quite happy and joyful, and likely brought their parents great joy and happiness.
More to the point, at least one (if not all-see the Baldwins!) made it big and became famous. It stands to reason that the more children a couple have, the greater likelihood one of them makes it big ( in hollywood, politics, sports etc.) and brings the rest of the family fame, comfort, power or any of the above. It almost seems in one's best interest to have as many children as possible, for that very reason.
Further having many kids can make one's home less labor intensive. Having older kids around means more kids to help clean up, or look after the little ones so overworked mom and pop can have a fun outing together. Also... have any of you seen the sound of music? Don't you remember how much joy and companionship the Von Trapp children were able to bring to eachother? I know it was a fictional movie... but still I find that part of the film quite realistic.
Thoguhts please!
