I have two boys and let me tell you, I can't imagine raising 5 (I originally stated 7 but double checked and it is 5). Between the sports, school activities and friends, I am constantly running them around!
I was a SAHM for nine years and went back part-time now that they are in school. DH works lot's of hours so the amount of stress added to him and the family if I worked full-time would be too much for us. If DH made a ton of money I probably wouldn't work either. There are a ton of things one can do to be a useful and contributing member to society without getting paid.
I expect raising your two would have been a lot easier if you'd had Ann Romney's staff. Somehow Ann doesn't look like the changing diapers, making school lunches type. Of course she might have taken them to school in one of her two cadillacs. Or had her driver do it.
