Adding to this, I know of families with a large number of children. Growing up in such families, the elder siblings become so much more mature and responsible mashallah. They learn to be compassionate and empathetic towards the people around them. All children learn to share and share freely. They are never at a loss for company.
There are two sides to every coin. There is so much goodness that can be learned from these situations also. It is all about the handling.
