Would like to point out something here that might not be obvious to those discussing the pros and con's of having kids.
Some people are really into kids and have made that choice and couldn't do without kids. They enjoy kids like some of us enjoy computers. They want as many kids as they can and don't think of any of it as a burden or "work". It's just pure joy to them. Just like some of us like to program and "play" with computers and find it fun. Then there are as you know people who don't derive any enjoyment from kids and would rather just work and do what they want. Just like there are people who find no enjoyment in doing the things that some of us do for fun. Nothing wrong with that. Don't be pressured into having kids just because it's what society seems to tell you is the best thing to do. It definitely doesn't float the boat of everyone just as everyone is not all into computers, cars, skiing, knitting or pets. Everyone is different.
