I do not think more kids translates into less time. If anything it’s the opposite. If there’s many of them they’ll do stuff together and you are free.

Stuff like brushing teeth and bath take relatively little extra time, so does cooking for 4 instead of 1 kid.

I don't know how people can say that - it definitely takes extra time. Ferrying them to different extra-curricular activities (all of them don't have to like the same thing), teaching at home/different homework, the constant fights. Cooking for 4 instead of 1 may not make a big difference but the extra dishes don't wash themselves. I'm not even getting into additional parent teacher meetings, doctor's appointments and so on.
