One of the things that keeps them from not having.
What, lots of children keeps you from 'having'? Well, if you're a materialist and driving a nice car, living in an expensive section of town, and being able to afford all the newest gizmos is what you consider 'having' then maybe you're right.
Speaking as someone who has four wonderful little kids, I 'have' something that all the DINKs in the world will never understand. And I wouldn't trade it for all the BMWs, fancy cell phones, season tickets, extravagant vacations, and designer clothes in the world.

It's not about driving a fancy-pants car and having the newest gizmos. It's basic economics -- with limited resources there is less to go around within the family.

My kids have days where I would consider trading at least one of the four of them on a BMW or even a good night's rest. ; )
