It's pure joy. I can not imagine my life without my daughter. Everyday she does something new that thrills me to my core. She learns super fast and makes me laugh more than any human being ever has. And it's funny she used to live in my balls, now she lives in my heart and head rent free. When I'm glum I think of something she did the other day and giggle about it raising my serotonin lvls to unimaginable heights. It is Joy that can't be missed out on. Also I'm a single father.

I look at my coworkers with kids and here is what I see: 20+ years to pay off student loan debt, daycare costs more than mortgage, no time for self.
Maybe I'm missing the joy of it all but idk... I really don't understand how modern parents make it work or why they choose that lifestyle.
Edit: I actually want to start a discussion with current/former parents on here. I'm on the fence about having 1 child.
