Not only do we provide that for you but we sacrifice our standard of living compared to yours to do it. So everytime you pay 50% of your property taxes to education you should be thinking thank God someone is having kids so that our enconomy doesn't collaspe before you die.
Where is my thank you for not adding more to an already over-populated, materialistic, let me take anything I want society? Where is my thank you for not having kids, which adds to the social benefit that your kids get more of because there are fewer people using them. Do straight couples who choose not to have kids also have to get on their knees and bow to you?

Pretty ridiculous IMO. I'm pretty sure the reason you had kids is because you wanted to, and not because you felt the "need" to further society. You didn't sacrifice your standard of living, you chose to live that way. If you feel like you sacrificed anything, then maybe you shouldn't have those kids...
