Even those who do have kids in our modern Western culture can't be said to be completely unselfish.
Some people seem to have kids as just another accessory in their lives, and another excuse to buy a bunch of useless crapola.
Everything is rusting and rotting.

The kid focussed families usually give up one income, and then can’t afford the crapola,
but they find themselves happier for it.

Some people are not cut out to be parents. One couple I know of has a couple of kids and they are accessories for the mom. It is the dad that is working day and night plus being the primary caregiver during what daytime free he has while the mom is in the office.
I couldn't live that way. My wife said she would not want to either.
