Personal anecdote, hs.
Love the question, BTW.
My paternal grandfather wasn't too close to my father.
Good man, but saw little use for feelings and communication.
I suppose that had something to do with the way he was raised.
My father tried to improve upon that.
I know that he did.
I know the relationship I have with my son is much better, more intimate, than the one I have with my father.
So I guess each generation learns from past mistakes and improves.
I tell my children all the time
you do not have to have children to have a fulfilling life.
They are not offended.

I wanted children and had four. Did I know what I was getting into? Nope. Do they drive me crazy? Yep, but they all have my heart and I love having them in my life.
I mean look at him...ain't he sweet?
Also must add both of my 'accidents' are treasures
I was most decidely an accident my mother fled...
I think that getting a woman pregnant is a very foolish thing in this day and age. With overpopulation and all those kids in orphanages or roaming the streets. Procreating is counterproductive, adopting a child is noble.
Evolutionary imperative?
Yes, any organism that does not procreate is the last of it's species.
Are there noble reasons to procreate?
Instead of adopting instead? None that I can think of...

Mrs. Jones, he is absolutely totally adorable!
I've been very impressed with your intelligence, LCL.
This comment of yours is no exception.
However, I believe the passing of time will change your perspective on this.
IMHO.
I plead temporary insanity.
My sentence is constant insanity.... at least until they move out.
