Live your lives however you want. Don’t have children if you don’t want them - just like a dog or cat. It’s always better to go into these things willingly.
But fundamentally, between the endorphins and oxytocin and all the things that happen when you become a parent, the lessons you learn, the maturing that takes place, the revitalization of your own parents, the addition of new friends to your life (because most of us, especially men, only make new friends as an adult through our kids) - all the stuff that will sustain you for the last half of your life gets unlocked with children.
Love. It comes down to love. Yeah, all the other stuff I’ve written might just be my own little slice of the human experience. You won’t ever love anyone or anything as much as your own child.
That’s not just me. That’s everyone but the psychopaths.
