Oh-ho, and I'll assume you're a bitter mediocre parent who's defending all they have left to live for in the world.

Lotta good assumption does us both, huh?

My point is that the OP shouldn't have another kid just because the biology happened. The biology can happen again and again. Financial stability, emotional readiness, etc... those are what require the real cultivation to be successful in This Modern World (TM).

You wouldn't bring in every puppy / kitten / homeless person that shows up on your doorstep just because it was there, would ya?

Noooo, it's a big deal to care for another living thing, especially one that is completely helpless for years and mostly helpless at 18.

Reproduction: it doesn't make you special.
