this is probably the most confusing comment I've seen in this thread the reasons people have for or for not having kids aren't real reasons because...history?

  The reasons people _give_ for/against having kids are just stories they tell themselves. We want to seem rational and we feel the need to have a rational reason for our choices. "Economy is bad right now" and everything like this: historically the conditions to have children have been a lot worse. History meaning more than 50 years. Above is only one example of how you can open your choice to being countered when this decision is just a personal thing that should not be up for debate imho. I explained poorly, the intention was just to help mostly young people have a more solid stand especially against peer/family pressure.
