Average price to raise a child to 18 in the US is $233,610 according to the USDA. Tax benefits don't come close to this. And heaven help you if your kid goes to college. ;-)

It's not tax benefits that makes parents better off. Tax benefits are in addition to the general benefits children provide. Children are your caretakers in old age. People who have children tend to live longer.
