Should I fill to my absolute max?

When you say more work it isn't that much to add another handful of pasta to the pot or print an extra picture to colour. It also means an extra set of hands for cleanup and help too - at least eventually. And the older kids often rise to the challenge of helping with the new baby which helps. Moving from 2-3 to 5-6 is a more work because everything you do doubles and you move from the small pot to the large pot, a small feltboard to a large enough one for everyone to see. After that you don't really notice the extra bodies after the first settle in period - but you do notice the income that comes with it.
