I don't think everyone should have bunch of kids. However, if you are in a good relationship and both like having kids, think about having 5 instead of 2. My personal experience of having 5+ kids is that the difficulty mostly scales logarithmically, meaning kid 1 is a lot of work, kid 2 is a lot more work, but kid 3 more (but less more) work.

The social dynamics can really work well. Kids can be less work when they can entertain each other. Add some homeschooling, work from home, and creative projects and it makes life really fulfilling.

YMMMV, but it's a valid and reasonable way to live for some.

The issue is that a bunch of people living in conventionally valid ways are contributing to climate change and overpopulation. Not making a value judgement, because no one is used to or equipped to deal with the scale of billions of humans. Still a problem.
