No b/c the majority of people who have children do so for economic factors. It's sad real sad. In the third world people have a lot of children because it is one of the only ways the parents can survive. By making their children work for them. In the industrialized world, people who either have a lot of children can afford them. Which is never the case. But the ones who do have a lot of children normally can not support them and are only seeking for government benefits for not being able to provide because the parents don't want to work.
I am not against big families as long as the adult figures are positive role models rather than negative ones like the majority of parents nowadays. I come from a really big family. I have 24 cousins and 16 aunts and uncles on one side. The other side I don't care about. But what makes them different is that their living standard is different. They are wealthy but they don't consume as much as American lifestyle does. And believe me the decision to how many children a couple will have belongs to the parents as long as they can afford them and not be a dreg to society.
So the ones who should be having children don't have enough of them and the ones who shouldn't have many of them. How ironic right?
