Look, I'm a parent, so I admit bias, but the bottom line is that there is a social contract involved in living in a society that depends on there being a next generation. Overpopulation aside, there's got to be somebody to grow the food and transport the food and make the transportation and the roads and the electricity and the medicines and everything when the current generation of adults is no longer able to do this. I do every damn thing I can not to unduly impose on people who have not agreed to be part of my child's life, but some things? People just have to put up with. I've been the migraine patient in an ER where a child is wailing loudly, but you know, I have coping mechanisms for pain, and a two-year-old doesn't.
