    but raising kids gives me a purpose

    Ugh, this makes me shudder. It just sounds like “I’ve eagerly embraced my role as part of a procreation machine”.

    I guess it’s necessary that some people become parents, in order to keep humanity going. And, it’s better if those people are doing it willingly rather than reluctantly. But, it just sounds like evolution reached into your brain and turned off some critical faculties in order to make you a more effective procreator.
