I read into it as her thanking us for realizing that we aren't responsible or adult enough to fulfill our child-bearing duties. I agree with the "self congratulatory" way you saw the blog.

I'm just not sure that in 2013, with the large extant swaths of disadvantaged children, why it's considered a "duty" to reproduce.
