Children benefit from having caregivers who are good at caring for that particular child, whether it's a parent or someone else, yes. And there's certainly a benefit to kids seeing that there are other ways to be a functional adult besides how their parents are. But people who do not want to be good caregivers for whatever child they get maybe don't need to be having children. I don't even remotely see why "if you don't want to parent, don't have a child" is worth all the vitriol you heaped on me.
