I think I would really like to have kids, except most ppl with kids seem to have an unhappier life, no free time, much higher stress, and a worse relationship with their partner. That's a scary thing to willingly enter into.

Do you have any statistical evidence of that claim?

surely you see the demographic skew though. happy people with families are too busy with their families (and lives) to fill out online surveys. meanwhile unhappy people with families would probably jump at the chance to dissociate

it’s supported by my wife’s & my personal experience, and that of many of our friends… but often only when kids are ~0-3 plus, a lot of that is downstream of how unsupported parents are in general in this society; our marriage got way healthier again after we moved in w friends

so.. where is this data? and you only mentioned worse relationship out of the many negatives you claim to be caused by having kids.

Also, happy family people probably don't follow random camgirls 🤷

Be a happy person and you will find happiness. Be miserable and find misery. Be careful who you survey amd be even more careful of who you serve.

Does your data come from people here?
