Your take on parenting is the anomaly from my experience and that of my friends. Ask your friends with multiple kids 0-5 for their honest impression of parenting and I'm sure the overriding sentiment will be it's hard and exhausting.
Also, maybe you and your wife just enjoy looking after small, needy, expensive, loud, destructive beings 24/7 for a couple thousand consecutive days. Surely you can see how that's not attractive to everybody.
My wife and I aren't "baby" people. I love mine, but I much prefer hanging out with older kids/teenagers.
