For many people it's better not to have children, only they don't find
out until after the fact. Knowing what I know now I'd not have
children. In most instances that I've encountered children do a lot
of taking and very little giving, they use up a parent's and society's
energy and resources and then go off rarely looking back unless they
want something. Not all, but for most people I know their children
return very little pleasure... many parents simply won't admit that
their children are leeches, but I see it. I get far more happiness
from my cats, and they ask for very little, they give a lot more than
they take. Jill is a good citizen, there are way too many people on
this planet, most leeches. Unfortunately, like others with no
children, Jill is paying a goodly portion of raising all the overly
prolific douchebag's little leeches.
