In my personal opinion, there isn't one. I can't see how someone is better off from having them. Maybe I just don't understand.

coming from a person who has lost his parents, I can say that AFAIC, more kinfolk=better. kids grow up and become interesting new human beings. they can provide comfort. something I will never experience this go-round but hopefully i'll make up for it in the next life.

When you have children, you are more likely to get support when you hit rough times. It's like society wants people to have kids so they make it a requirement basically because f**k the childfree right?
