Having kids for emotional fulfillment vs economic assistance (free labor) is a relatively new concept in the history of civilization and America though. Unfortunately the last couple of generations had economic factors that enabled this attitude, but now the current crop of potential parents are finding all the pressure and drive to mimic their childhood but a distinctly worse economic climate. I foresee a weakening of the concept of the traditional family if it keeps up.
