What history? American?
When were children ever a profitable venture? Atleast in my country having children was never a profit loss statement.
Where I'm from its was considered an extension of the family tree.
Though some communities considered girls chikd a burden because of dowry, this was tried to overcome by trying to have a boy.
If your statement has any weight many underdeveloped nations would've never had children.

Children were the people who would continue to do the work required to gather food once you were too old to do it yourself. > an extension of the family tree Yes, but why does this matter? > If your statement has any weight many underdeveloped nations would've never had children. No, this argument is exactly why many underdeveloped nations continue to have high birth rates (this and higher child mortality requiring you to have even more kids per adult)
