    “If I didn’t have children, who’d take care of me when I get old?”
    “If we didn’t have children, who’d work for our pensions and keep society running when we retire?”
    “I want to live a happy life after I retire, and you (young people) are obliged to provide that.”

    Real words I heard.
    A lot of people have kids mostly for future-proofing themselves.
