[quote=Anonymous]The one family we know with 3 kids, the reason they had their third is because they wanted to guarantee grandchildren (figuring that not everyone grows up to have children, but surely at least one out of three would). I felt like this was really wrong-headed, since I don't think you should have kids with the expectation that any of them are going make life decisions that will be fulfilling [i]to you[/I]. I'm not sure if this is a "status" thing but I do think it's related. I think the belief that you can control you future in that way, or that you can game your life to guarantee things that for most people are a crapshoot, is a kind of entitlement, and status and entitlement go hand-in-hand for me.[/quote]
