Well, you are trying to put it glibly, but, yes. You can joke all you want, but it’s true. “House full of kids” What is the fertility rate of white, non-Hispanic people in the U.s.? 1.2? It’s way lower than replacement rate. Not a “houseful of kids.” Look, you can ignore G-d’s law all you want and laugh in His face. But actions have consequences.

Contraception causes birthrates to drop, sometimes precipitously. For instance, every country in Europe is now below replacement fertility. That creates a demographic vacuum which draws somebody, anybody, to fill the kindergarten seats and the entry-level jobs and eventually pay into the social system to support the "child-free" retirees.

Reference Germany.
