Having a poster child on da wall may or may not be comparably satisfying or enjoyable as having one or more real rug-rats around, depending on your own temperament, physical capabilities, financial situation, etc. On da one hand, just staring at a nice picture won't give you da uniquely-pleasurable experience of actually holding and caring for a warm living breathing pint-sized fellow human, but on da other hand, it will save you da time, effort, expense (especially if said offspring has a bratty/delinquent tendency, in which case extra clothing-store/toy-department purchases or fines/bail-money would be an additional concern), emotional trauma, etc. of raising actual in-da-flesh children.

Surf Dracula Syndrome
A phenomenon in film/television series, most notably streaming series, where the main premise is drawn out to such a point that it takes an entire season or more to get the parts of the series the audience is actually interested in seeing.
For example, if a series is titled "Surf Dracula," a majority of viewers would tune in expecting to see Dracula surfing by the first or second episode. However, the entire first season would instead be tedious padding and backstory before finally ending with Dracula surfing in the last five minutes of the season finale.
