I think Cr. Hollist brought up a very interesting point about the reasons why people want to have kids. It's so hard to pin point the exact reason! The effects of children all seem negative, but for some reason, people still want them...I know that I myself want to have kids when I get married. I have always wanted to be a mommy, and that's about as complete an answer as I can come up with. There is just something about kids that pull on people's heartstrings. Raising children may be a tough job, but a huge reward will come in the end. Family is bond by unconditional love. And for me, there is no bond stronger.
However, as a professional, it is important to realize and respect that not everyone feels that way. It's my personal feeling, but I do understand that being a parent is not everyone's cup of tea.
My great aunt and uncle were unable to have kids and they are old enough that fertility treatment wasn't the norm, so they accepted they wouldn't have kids. They were both teachers, so every year they had many many kids fill their classrooms. The saw the kids during the school day, but when they went home they spent all their time together as a couple. It worked well for them!
