[quote=Anonymous]I think I was *happier* before kids in that I was more well rested, I had more leisure time and freedom, I could make amazing fun plans without a care in the world.  I think I am more *fulfilled* after having kids because it has given my life an entire new meaning and purpose that I didn't really comprehend until I became a parent.  To a non parent I know that sounds cheesy and I would have rolled my eyes too, before becoming a parent myself.

I think that since having children is such a strong biological , innate drive for humans (it's literally how our species survives), it would be hard to  say you've experienced all life has to offer without experiencing this very basic human drive.  It would be like never having sex your whole life, or never leaving your hometown your whole life.  Yes, you could be incredibly happy and feel like your life was well lived, and that's all that really matters.  But it's because you had no sense of what else was out there that you'd never seen or felt. [/quote]
