On a bright Thursday afternoon in the planned community of South Riding, parents lounged at the edges of a field watching Little Leaguers. Nancy Caruso had one kid at bat, twins in a stroller and another running around someplace. Katie Hall bounced her fourth on her hip -- "I could always have another one!" she said -- and Diane Nielsen belted out, "Good job, Peter!" to one of her three.

If suburbia has always been for child rearing, to enter the quaint and shaded 10-year-old neighborhood off Route 50 is to find the fertile epicenter of a county with one of the highest birthrates in the nation. Loudoun County rivals parts of suburban Utah, where the Mormon faith encourages large families, and areas such as Hidalgo, Tex., and Manassas Park, where large numbers of recent immigrants from Mexico and other Latin American countries account for the growth.

Caruso has plenty of friends with four. And she has another, Bethany Narzissenfeld, who stays home with five. She reads romance novels in her downtime and likes to say that she probably belongs in her vision of the 1950s -- maybe back in Waukegan, Ill., where she grew up going to church five times a week.
"I never fell in with the give-women-all-the-same-rights-as-men thing," she said. "I wanted to be a homemaker. I intended not to work.
I really get upset when I watch TV, when some liberal woman gets up and talks about what women want. Because she doesn't speak for all women."Link:

Get a clue, Bethany. If women hadn't stood up in the 1960s and 1970s, staying home and raising a brood would be your
only option.
