Do you think someone who sees parenting as a 'primal urge to procreate', and seemingly not much else...

I'm not quite sure what you're asking, especially after reading the answers. But I will tell you that I grew up never wanting to have kids. I got pregnant at 19 and that baby was adopted. I later married someone else who also did not want kids. I found out that I was pregnant (I had an IUD for over five years, so it's not like we were being careless) and we had a daughter. She ended up being the best thing that ever happened to me. We now have a son, too. So my point is that things change. Right or wrong, for good or bad, things change. People who have this "urge to procreate" are certainly not guaranteed to be cut out to be good parents. My hubby and I luckily are the opposites. We were happy to not procreate, but I'm actually impressed with how we're doing as parents. It's not easy. Maybe if there were some way to show the people with "the urge" what it's really like...
