Maybe.
What about the risk involved? Who's to say the child you have won't have some sort of disorder that will entail you or your spouse quitting your jobs to care for? You will NEVER see them grow-up and leave the house? They will be at your funerals, with the relatives that have now inherited their care...or as wards of the state, if their disease doesn't cause a premature death. And you will be on Facebook telling everyone how blessed you are to have a child that cost you your career, and will never advance beyond colorful picture-drawings, or celebrating the life-long goal of tying their own shoes?
That may sound harsh, or cruel, but it's reality. Many people have children like that, and it's something you have to be prepared to accept as a distinct possibility when you "decide to have kids".
Then there is the guy like my neighbor. Great guy. Has a company, makes plenty of money, raised 3 kids. Two of them are wonderful people, very successful, happy, well-balanced. The 3rd was always a piece of s***. Oh, he wasn't spoiled, either. His father even sent him to boot camp trying to correct his streak of worthlessness. Didn't work. He's doing 20 in state for shooting a guy over a drug deal gone bad. Spent a pretty penny keeping him out of the chair/life. What if that were his ONLY kid? I guess he could show off the baby photos and kindof not talk about the rest?
Then there is my Dad. He gave up his plane, his 'vette, his Harley, and was forced to see his X wife and act 100% normal for the sake of me, every other week-end as they passed me off. Then, I moved out, went to college, paid him back what he requested for helping me fund my college, and we are good friends. But really? I personally do not think that having me on the end of the phone as his personal advisor for all things medical and firearm related was worth the emotional and monetary costs he invested. I inquired as to this, and he disagreed and expressed that this was not the case, but he and I are also different people, so I respect his difference of opinion. Point being, "everything went right" for me. I moved out. I got a job where I never ask for money. I never once had him dragged into court over my wrongdoings. Etc. And I still do NOT think that the balance-beam made me a "good decision", personally.
YMMV, but I have the ability to step outside of myself and look at things from a null perspective, and I just do not get the point of having kids. Of course, some people love kids. IN that case, there are plenty without a home that are wards of the state that could use a good home. But you want YOUR kids. So much for the argument "you're just too selfish to have kids" that some people throw at me...
