Okay you think about this then--say you are 60 years old and you had kids because someone on a message board thought you should. You resented having the kids, they know it, and they don't visit you because they hate you. So there you are all alone, and nobody thinks about you...etc.
See they are both silly scenarios. Yes they both could happen, but neither is very likely. I know lots of older people who don't have children and who live very full and happy lifes. I also know lots of older people who love their families and grandchildren. Maybe you haven't noticed, but this old world is made of up lots of different kinds of people and they all have different wants and needs.
So for you, clearly you need children to feel complete. Great on you. It was also important to me, but it isn't to everyone and you really have no business telling people their life is not complete without children. Simply isn't any of your business in my humble opinion.
