Your kids are, of course, the best thing that's happened to you, you love them more than anything, etc. etc. But are there any of you parents who, if you could go back in time, would advise yourself *not* to have kids?

Not having kids is like never taking psychedelics. They fundamentally change your perspective on reality.

Except taking psychedelics is an experience that can be controlled (to a degree) and ends in a few hrs to 12 hrs. Children are for life. Children are a commitment, not a drug for entertinament/therapeutic use. You cannot compare the two like that.

tbf you can compare anything. Hitler has a lot in common with Joe down the street, if you draw the boundaries of 'common' jus tright. And on psychedelics, it can sometimes feel just as much of an eternity as actual long-term commitments.

Sure, you can compare anything. I just don’t think doing acid and having a kid or two is a great comparison.
