All that is fine, but why would anyone in their sane mind have 5 freaking children? Why are Americans obsessed with having such big families? Do you keep spare kids for ghosts to haunt? (like they show in all horror movies)
In India, we call decision of having more than 2 kids insane & cost even though raising a child in India is much lesser.
If you have two full time working parents then two kids is already a lot. Especially if you have your first kid in your thirties.
If you have two parents working part time, maybe in jobs with flexible hours, and grandparents who can help out, and day care / schooling is affordable in your area, and you start having kids in your twenties, then having more kids can work.

What am I missing? It's a big cultural shock.
