[quote=Anonymous][quote=Anonymous]OP here. Fascinating! I’m surprised there aren’t more no’s. Life just seems like it would be way easier without kids, that if people generally didn’t have them then I thought people wouldn’t care for them as much! I also have a baby + toddler right now so maybe I’ll change my mind later :)[/quote] I'm one of the yesses, I have three under 8. Life WOULD be much easier without them, no doubt about that. But I think really it just comes down to the fact that an easy life isn't necessarily a desirable life. People like feeling like they have purpose, a reason for being, and children are a particularly excellent way to feed that primal need. They are difficult to raise, but it is only when things are difficult that you feel like you accomplished something.[/quote]
