Depends on if you could grow/produce enough of your own food.

A lot of farm families with literally no money had a lot of kids to help with the work.

Usually the massive families you hear about, are extremely religious. Catholic usually because of the no birth control allowed.

Its not the only reason, just usually.

Also religion dictates to go forth and procreate. Also many churches encourage it so you can add to the number of followers.

I don't get how they'd ever have the time to properly give any of them attention. I feel like most of the older kids in such families must become resentful de-facto parents as the number of kids keeps increasing.

Selfishness. Two adults can't reasonably care for more than four children and "parenting" of the younger ones often falls to the eldest (typically female) siblings.

It is pretty depressing that the birth of a child is seen as a bad thing in our modern society tbh

My mom is one of seven siblings. She wanted the same, a lot of children. Due to complications from her pregnancy with me she couldn't have any more. I kind of feel like there's some resentment there because of that. She's also pressuring my older brother and me for grandkids... But she's said before that my brother is her only chance at any, and it looks like he and his wife decided against having any.

My mother grew up in China during the Mao era and had 6 siblings. China said a big family was good for the country and realized they fucked up too late.

I don't feel this way at all, I'm the middle child but all of my siblings feel like we were loved and treated equally

Pretty sure there are quite a few religions that doesn't allow contraception. It also helps their religion grow.

Every sperm is sacred

It was the Duggars that once said it and my reaction was thusly.
I forget which kid they were on, 17 or 18 at the time.

They're usually in third world countries that don't have the resources or education to make well informed life choices. You notice this a lot if you make comparisons to first world countries. Religion may have a role in it, but it's mostly down to socioeconomic reasons.
