Your point is what I always come back to when I think about the decision to have or not have kids. (I have two, so that’s been long decided haha) I almost let the negativity of other parents sway me, even though I had always wanted children. Brunches, trips, nights out, etc are fun, but they do lose their luster over time and when you start stacking that up in comparison to raising children, the rewards just do not compare. It is hard, stressful, exhausting, and more, but to me, it’s the most profound experience you can have as a human. All the relaxing brunches and trips in the world just don’t stack up. And you can still do all those things, they will just be fewer and farther between and require more planning. I also like to think if I looked back on my life, would I regret having children or not having them?
