Ask HN: What are the benefits to having children nowadays?

given that, in 2022:

    both parents will need to work to fund raising a child, so the mother necessarily has to do 1.5 or 2 full-time jobs

    grandparents most likely don't live in the same city so you're reliant on strangers to raise your children

    increased risk of autism / ADD / lack of focus because of the internet

    the world is already over-populated, and however hard it is for you to compete with your peers, it'll be even harder for your children

    etc etc etc (to name but a few)

I'm looking for new perspectives on why one should choose to procreate nowadays. I'm less interested in parents trying to rationalize what deep down they know was a bad decision, the perpetual "oh but I'd do it all over again" thing when clearly their life is a lot of worse and they're full of regret.
