Grew up with 2 brothers and a sister, was always closest to my sister - overall there being 4 of us, in hindsight at least, was good in making us a little independent as opposed to any of us being spoiled.
Now have 3 by my first wife and 2 by my second, been kinda expensive, and it doesn't get cheaper (necessarily) even when I thought the older ones would
- but I would not change any of it, although the younger ones are harder physically 2nd time around, but easier mentally as there's nothing left to shock you and your are,
or should be, better placed to help/advise them; particularly into their early teens.
Just feel a bit sad their going to have to pay for all the Govt/banks etc irresponsibilities.
