Personally I don't believe in "reasons for having children". You either feel naturally compelled to do it, or not. Any reason for/against having children is a bad one. Anyone trying to do a "pros and cons" list on this topic will eventually arrive at the logical conclusion that it's not worth it. Whoever did such a summary and still decided to follow through is in for a bad time, because "pros" inevitably include someone else's expectations. That being said I've seen people postpone or, eventually, eschew having children entirely due to lack of support in the time window they had - especially from prospective grandparents applying pressure. And herein lies the crux of the issue: some people support bringing another generation to this world, others don't. As it stands the latter have slim chances of ever having grandchildren.
