I clicked on this out of curiosity to see what people would say - I had to laugh because NO ONE actually answered the simple question of "Why is it expected in society that we praise someone who has or is having a kid?". I've seen answers about over-population, eugenics, etc. but no answer as to "WHY"

My answer to the "Why" is that we humans have always had an innate need to be praised/recognized for even the the most mundane of accomplishments. Reproduction is a natural biological process every living thing does - even down to the smallest microbe so you didn't do anything special in my opinion.

However; when my wife and I had OUR children - that's a different story! I'll wait for the thunderous applause, standing ovations, and "pats on the back" to settle down - and then take a bow! ROFL
