That's that evolutionary programming kicking in, convincing you to slave away with the goal of increasing the survival rate of your offspring.

I'm not saying it's good or bad. I'm just saying that your'e a machine and this affects your program:

If(havebaby=true){parentalmotivation++}

That's going to always increase parentalmotivation.
