Parents of Reddit. What do you actually get out of having children to justify the cost, time, inconvenience, and general lack of freedom that comes with having kids?

Yesterday I was having a really bad day, everything was going wrong, I spent close to two hours in traffic on the drive home, had a bad day at work, just everything was shitty. I get home in the most fowl mood and all I wanted was to sit by myself and get away from it all.

I walked in the door and my 3 year old son comes running up to me..."Daddy! Your home, big hug!" So I walk in and get this great hug, he then looks me strait in the eyes and says "Daddy...I love PJ masks" Just the randomness of it made me burst out laughing, instantly my shitty mood was lifted. Later he came up to me and said, "Dad, I love PJ masks, but I love you more".

The amount of unconditional love you get from a child is just astounding. I never wanted kids, but now that I have one, and one on the way, I couldn't imagine life without them.

On a random note, when I first got married I thought to myself, I could never love another person as much as I love my wife. When my son was born, I was amazed at how much love in my life I had and could give, I thought again, I could never love any one as much as I love these two people in my life. My second child is going to be born in the next couple of weeks, I can't wait to see what happens when she arrives.
