Is there really a reason for kids

Question

im 19 and i know im young but ive had to take care of my brother and sister since i was 11. i ask myself what is the good outcome of having kids

Answer 1

Well, it's pretty obvious that the human race would die out if we didn't keep having kids.

Answer 2

You hope that you feel a sense of pride and accomplishment. Honestly, that's it. Kids are not easy, don't make financial sense and make you want to pull out your hair. If you don't want kids, don't have any. I respect that fully.  

Answer 3

Because what about...

When your friends are going "my kid got into Harvard! He's going to do medicine and rock the medical world" and you're all "um, great...".

When you're 70 years old, sitting watching telly, and wondering "I wish I had some grandkids to coo over".

When you might have stopped a whole family race...it's possible. o.o;

But kids aren't for some; those that don't want kids have a valid reason and can live life to the full knowing they have what they wanted. Is there really a reason for /not/ having kids?

Answer 4

Well, is there a reason for you? Everyone has to start out as a baby, a kid , a teen then adult.

There is no way around that.  

Answer 5

well what if your mother said that before you were concieved?

Answer 6

so humans dont become extinct.just have kids when and if your ready.

Answer 7

To continue the human race so we can create a new race of SPARTAN-IIIs.

Answer 8

To continue the human race.

Answer 9

To continue the human race. To give someone love. If you don't want to have kids, don't ! There's nothing wrong with that at all. People assume that every woman has to have kids, but that's not true. Grand-kids are a good outcome too. Don't have a child just because you feel pressure, have one when / if you are ready!
