    They aren’t being congratulated for procreating. They are being congratulated for having the right mentality around procreating (in that it is a sacrifice that requires at the least consideration prior and commitment after in order to make a good human to carry on the species).

      Lmao, Sacrifice, sure. More like Responsibility.

          Sacrifice is when you give something up for the greater good.

          Responsibility is when you suffer the consequences of your actions.
