Has it occurred to you that the decline in family size has less to do with speculation about how happy the children will be and everything to do with economics?   In agrarian cultures without mechanization, children are a financial plus. For people living in modern economies,  they are a financial cost.

That's sort of a.. cold way of looking at it. Undecided

I thought it had more to do with the availability and affectiveness of contraception, which up until about 50 years ago.. really wasn't all that wide spread.

Oh. And honorable mention of large family: http://vignette4.wikia.nocookie.net/harr...0222043720
