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 !

Yep, completely agree. My parents had 8 kids also, and I'm pretty sure it was never easy. Alhamdulilah we were also always clothed, fed, and educated, but things do go wrong. My father passed away unexpectedly when I was 14, leaving my mom with 8 kids to raise by herself. So I'll tell you right now, it's not easy our parents just make it look that way
