I was quite frankly told by my father that I’d find a wife to love, and she would eventually force me to have children. I was eight at the time, and somehow managed not to draw the obvious conclusion about his own life. Probably just as well.
I have the impression that wanting children is seen as rather feminine in traditional cultures, and therefore not something to discuss with a son. Women seem to get more advice on it (In ireland and Germany at least).
