Like it or not, society judges maturity (and even social worth) based on the following criteria:

Job
Car
House
Marriage
Children

Personally I think it's all crap. A person's maturity (and/or social worth) should be judged on who they are not what they have. However, given that it is a societal judgement, seperating out children from that list is splitting hairs out of personal convenience. The fact is society as a whole judges you more "mature" for having children than it does those of us who don't.
