Reason #7

Anger. When one makes the decision to have a kid, one signs oneself up for a lifetime of – wait, going to start over.
When the decision is made to have a child, you sign yourself up for a lifetime of moments where you are going to be so fucking angry that you will want to do something awful. Think about your life now – your life as a childless person. Right now, you have the freedom to scream and smash things if you are seriously angry. You can break windows, punch walls, claw at your face, etc. When there is a kid in the mix, those things are NOT such a good idea.
Having a kid makes you responsible for the well-being of another person. By making the decision to procreate, you imply that you are going to do your level best to be a mostly rational, reasonable human being. I prefer to retain my right to be irrational without mentally fucking up some poor ankle-biter.
