My parents had 8 kids and their first came when they were both still teenagers. AlHumdu-Lillaah, we were always fed and clothed as well as taught right from wrong but that does not make it easy. There will be days when a child will go through fevers and many other sicknesses that make it very worrisome for the parents. That aside, the financial responsibility and being able to provide the children a stable and safe home to live in is also a must.
Just because your and my siblings turned out good (alHumdu-Lillaah), does not make it easy to have kids and then to raise them. It is hard! 'Plenty of time, sweat and love' is hard to give to one person (or child) imagine having to give it several.
Was-Salaamu 'Alaykum Wa Rahmatullaah
