The act of having children isn't the problem itself. It's what you do with them. If you're a crappy parent, it's gonna show. Can't blame the kid for doing bad things if you failed to teach them otherwise because you suck. Same goes for having a kid for the wrong reasons, like funchy mentioned. I've seen loads of people who don't deserve their children. And my father was a pretty crappy parent, too. Sure, I'm taking matters into my own hands, but it's no excuse.
Sorry for the aside. Have kids or don't, it's your call. But if you do, you should probably try your best not to completely suck at it.
