Part of me doesn't want kids at all, but the other part of me sees the value in an immediate family, especially a few decades down the line. In a perfect world, I'd be totally happy not having kids and just going over my sister's house as Uncle and Auntie Bloodfart. And seeing the lovely kids be all loud and messy and then being able to leave after the visits and say, "Yup, not having kids was a good idea." On the other hand, my actual uncle and his wife never had kids themselves, and they were both perfectly happy... until the wife died. Now my uncle is 70 years old and has no immediate family, and lives a two day's drive away from us. I don't think I'd be okay with that if I was in his shoes. I'd be lonely as hell. I guess the flip side of that would be, if he did have kids, they could have turned out to be losers or junkies and that would be even worse.
