Sounds like you desperately needed to have a legacy, and got kids as a substitute for that. And as an insurance for your old age.

But sure GP is the one who only care about themselves.

True they’re treated as an investment.

I don’t think your post makes you look like you’re the one who cares about others unlike who you’re responding to.

Not really OP doesn’t want to give up any of his investments or real estate because kids would be a drain on their finances and time.

My “genetic material” is a fucking dumpster fire. I struggle daily with incurable mental illness and I’m also a carrier for several debilitating diseases. I have chosen not to have children and nothing of value will be lost.
