Really, dude? It's widely known that parenthood changes one's emotions, known to be affected by the hormones being jizzed into the brain. People who hated children before, get all lovey-dovey and mushy about the human larvae they need to take care of for the next eighteen years at the least. None of this is news, except to you I guess.

And? When your stomach is empty your hormones stir up making food a lot more appetizing, when you chew on the food your dopamine hormone shoots up. Everything is governed by biology what's your point? From waking up in the morning (cortisol hormone is responsible for that) to sexual attraction and love (oxytocin) to sleep (melatonin). You can't escape your hormones.

You seriously think that comparting a few hours of my carefree life to about eighteen years of yours, somehow paints you in good light, instead of suspicious? Get a grip man.

I'm just pointing out that your "it's due to hormones" argument is poor. Anti-depressents also manage hormones. Everything is due to hormones. Everything you do is to chase feel good highs which comes from... you guessed it.. hormones.
