Your take is a little sour, but I agree with the direction. If your children (or nephews/nieces) matter as your bodily protection and old-age assistance, you want to raise grownups. Children are indeed a burden, they're cute and fun but that's a luxury like exotic pets. Once the larger society will provide care, or you just don't care about extending into the future, why bother? At that point, if you have contraception, even bodily urges in the now don't create children. Which is why polulation-maxxers hate contraceptives.
