what’s the appeal of having kids?

I’ve never understood why anyone would want to go through with having kids, especially with not only the risks of pregnancy and the difficulties it introduces into your life. this isn’t even me hating on kids, I love my siblings, but I could never understand how anyone would willing choose to have children :/

this isn’t meant to be disrespectful, I love my mother for giving birth to me, but like I said, I don’t get why she’d want to lol
