having and raising kids? other than continuing your bloodlines.. whats the purpose of having kids these days? They keep u up at night, exhaust your finances, for women, mess up allyuh bodies (badly in some cases) give you plenty headaches for the 18-35 years they are living under your roof (and don't act like some of allyuh 30 somethings ent still living at home). What is so intriguing about having 2-3-4-5 chirren, when you can be childless, stress free and do all the things you want, free as a bird to pick up and move and not worry about anyone else.
(BTW... just playing devils advocate... Kids are great)
