In the generation of my parents, you were totally strange if you didn't get married and have a couple of kids. Nowadays, even if people get married, they do it at a later age (more people going to post-secondary school and/or taking longer to achieve financial independence from mom and dad) and even then, they're less likely to have children. My cousin, for example, didn't get married until she was over 30 and she has no intention of ever having kids. She's content with her cats. My brother, on the other hand, looks like he's going to be a bachelor for life. Your philosophy is one that is very common in this 21st century world of ours.
