There's an implicit value judgement that having children means you have "bloomed". You may have indeed, just into someone who has children. There's nothing more to it than that.

Intellectually I understand why society values breeders. I understand the need for fostering the betterment of humanity by having a future generation. I just disagree that it requires or merit biological birth unless we have a population crisis. As far as I am aware, the US does not have that problem, so I won't judge someone for forgoing baby making.

I hate the pretense that baby making for normies is anything other than creating workers for the ruler class. Maybe they're optimistic that somehow their children will become part of that? On average, that's simply not the case.
