Nothing has meaning when you're dead.
You should spend your life maximizing your own happiness, children and families are expensive and cost you your youth- isn't it better to spend all that money on yourself?
You achieve immortality by extending your bloodline, you fuckin moron.

First of all, my children could die without having their own children, second of all, I don't care about "immortality", because when I die, I die. I can't experience the effects of my influence in this world, there is nothing for me to do but go away and cease to exist.
You have to be a brainlet to see having kids as anything more than surrendering to your primal urges. Pathetic.
Also if I turn out to be famous and inspirational for generations to come, I don't need kids for that, in fact, I will get "more immortal" that way.

>putting clothes on that arnt already dirty
>needing to whipe your ass >5 times from a shit
>cooking something for more than 15mins
>getting a (You) at some point in the day

You can improve your kids life, hopefully to the point where they end up better off then you. Hopefully they do the same with their kids and so on.
Also, raising children is rewarding and brings happiness in its own way, and the costs dont outway that.

You can't do both. Either you work on yourself or on your children.
It's easy to choose because I know that I won't betray myself, not so easy with other people. Having children is taking a blue pill, I am sorry.
