That's a pretty weak "gotcha" as well.

The reason I have had 3 children instead of 12 is because it balances my interest and desire to be a parent with the work/cost of doing so.

I doubt anyone's decision to reproduce is centered around bestowing the maximal amount of meaning to the universe.

Fair enough, but 'I want children to treat as pets' is not something the majority of parents are willing to admit, even though in practice it is the number one reason people have children.
