My wife an I never wanted to have children until one day we did, and I can say without the slightest hint of irony that my daughter has changed everything for me and given me the meaning I'd searched for and never found.

Its human nature to reproduce. Reproduction is a need just as much as sex, food, water, air, warmth, etc.

It's not in my nature nor in a lot of peoples' nature. Unfortunately people only see the pleasant side to breeding before they take the plunge. The female sees cute little human toys; the male feels pride in being the head of the pride; all advertisements by businesses showing the family are stereotypical - handsome dad, pretty mum, adorable kids. Parents are lulled into thinking that's how it will pan out for them when nothing could be further from the truth - the squalor, drudgery, boredom, stress including financial stress, the arguments ... Parenthood is a great con by females, government and business and men are the suckers.
