> I do appreciate now that by having two kids that they mostly spend their time at home playing with each other, as opposed to when we had just the one when we had to always play with them. I guess that scales well with more kids.

The traditional way is to delegate age-appropriate amount of caring for the younger children to the older children.

With 5 kids myself, this is indeed true. Delegation is important and also a "zone defense" became really important. "man to man" was out of the question.

But if you are already making 2 school lunches, how much longer is 5 really? You are already making breakfast lunch and dinner each day, how hard is it to add more food really. There is cost involved but making the meal isn't that much harder, at least for us.
