To be fair, you actually don't know if you'd be happier with kids since you don't, you know, have any kids.

I have nieces, nephews, and students whom I love fiercely, but I also love that I get to give them back to their parents at the end of the day.

I do not regret my choice in the least. I live a comfortable life and I can afford to do a lot of things that my friends and coworkers who have kids can't afford to do, either financially or emotionally. I would not be experiencing the adventure I'm currently on (living as an expat) if I had to provide a stable home environment for my own child(ren).

I'm not saying you should regret your choice, just that you will never know how youll feel about having your own kids (which is very different than nieces or nephews) until you actually have them.

Ive found your take on lemmy more common though, not sure if its the individualist bias here or something else.

And now imagine you do have kids and actually know that you were happier before ....

Thats a bummer. You should get out of there, kids can tell when a parent doesnt want them.

Don't worry, this was just hypothetical. I actually love my kids.

I approve this emotional roller coaster, it had a good ending!
