Why do people have kids??
I hope I can word this well as it is a feeling. When both parents love each other so much that they want to create a child, there is a joy in creating something together that literally has something of both parents in it. Then to watch a child grow and experience life is almost magical. I wouldn’t trade it for anything even with the ups and downs.

To me, having a child is not because ***Insert fairytale here***, but more of a natural thing, built into our genes. When a human finds stability with a partner, a natural urge to have children, most of the time occurs. Although some external factor will influence the decision, it’s all about subsistence of the race.
External factors may include, but are not limited to:
Jobs and economical factors,
Girlfriends afraid their boyfriend will leave and quit taking the pill “to force him to stay for the child”,
Social stature, all of your friends have a child, why not you?
and the one hate the most, religion.
