Another valid point. Because of the work I do, I see the results of bad/mediocre parenting every day. The rest of this post is also on point.

We are humans, not animals and have evolved to be intelligent enough to not just breed because we can. I understand that if nobody had kids it would be the end of humanity, but there will always be more than enough kids who'll have them, similalry if everyone had as many kids as they could we would also bring about the destruction of our species as we engage in wars to fight over what little resources we have left - this has already started as we fight for oil, next it will be water.
