Honestly, it's a wash in my mind... but I really enjoy getting to see the world for the first time all over again through his eyes. It's definitely the most self-less thing I've done in my lifetime.
Agreed.
I think it's more of an emotional decision vs any "rationale" decision. Definitely poorer and wayyyyyyyyyyyyyyyy more exhausted.
That said, it's opens your eyes to the world in a way you would never know. I luckily got to do some amazing and cool things before kids; so I dont feel like I am missing much in terms of personal self-gain. I have made a conscious choice to do things where I spend more time with my kids because I actually enjoy it over other things. Do I get annoyed, exhausted, pissed off, blow my brains out frustrated? Yes, but it's a wash for the amazing perspective and time to spend with them.
DEFINITELY not suggesting people need to have kids, but personally if I did not; I would struggle with the whole "what's the point of life". My uncle (upper 60s) struggles with not settling down and having kids, but he chose not to. All that money and success with no one to share it with. Humans are social creatures. I do think he and a lot of people have the "grass is greener" on both sides.
