The second does certainly add a lot of work. I only have two, but I have friends that have more, one with five kids, one with six. I'd say that after the second, each extra kid adds less work. Is six kids really more work than five? I don't think so. The older kids are helping out as much (by necessity) as adding another kid adds to the workload.
The younger the kid, the more work they are too. When kids can start getting themselves ready, and when they don't need extra things taken along to keep them alive, the workload goes down a bunch.
