I will preface by saying that having kids is hard, and today more than ever, it is not necessary to have kids.

But mentoring and bonding with someone else's kid is not the same thing as having your own kid, by a mile. I've done both, and having your own kid is a unique feeling.

The nice thing though is that if you don't have kids, you don't know what it's like. So you don't miss anything because you've never had that feeling.

So when you hear people like me that it's the best feeling in the world, you don't have that experience. So for you, it's not true.
