Why do people have children? I mean REALLY, what is their (your) true motivation for having them?

The fear of death and the need to extend one's life.

Yeah, my boyfriend doesn't want children and I must admit, I can't argue with his reasoning.

I guess I want children because I am sure they'll be wonderful, and I am not all that much of a benefit to society, but I bet my kids will be. Plus it'll make my family proud if I get married and make some babies, it's what grown-ups do.

Of course, it's only natural, all things that live on earth do so to breed.

To have a family

well everyone one has there own reasons but all i know is Im 20 years old and i have two kids and i LOVE it! my kids bring me so much love and happieness to my heart, but i also get accasional headachs lol

An innate drive to procreate.

im sure money that the government gives them just for popping them out could have something to do with it

Is it so unrealistic for someone to want to be a parent for the joy of parenthood itself?

I guess because they want to start a family.

They screwed without protection, and don't agree with abortion.

That's what it comes down to.

sh!tty question.. but jokes on you, i got 2 points..
