I’ve never really heard a compelling argument for myself to want to have kids. Most of my friends/family have said one of these

“it’s just what you do”

“I want a mini-me” (yikes)

“I don’t wanna adopt. I want my OWN kid”

“I want a best friend”

“I want someone to take care of me when I’m old”

To me these all read as selfish which is why I never reached a compelling conclusion to have my own kids.
