I gotta admit it's tempting. If I 100% knew I didn't want kids I may not come here to argue about it.

> I think in parenting most of all you learn to give, without hesitation, without thinking too much, you just give to you kids whatever they demand, out of your unconditional love for them.

The thing is, I tried to practice that with my ex-partner, and in the end it did not work. After several years of taking care of them I gave up and we had a divorce that was relatively peaceful except they don't want to stay friends with me, which hurts but is outside my control.

I don't know if I want to roll the dice on a kid who never grows up and never stops needing me.

Just between you and me, on this anonymous account, most of my potential romantic partners would need someone to take care of them. I don't want to have a kid-kid and an adult kid both needing my constant care in the same household.
