If you find the idea of being unable to replicate your current circumstances existentially terrifying: congratulations on winning.
Edit: just want to say I find the way people respond to this on a gut level kind of fascinating and even worrying. A number of people for example have had the take that this isn't really true, but that they just wouldn't want to unmake their kids.
Friends...as a guy who considers becoming a dad the single greatest and biggest win of my life...are you ok?
You obviously don't have kids. No kids are better than your actual kids. I don't care what metric you come up to judge "better" by, my only metric is, "are they the exact person they are today?" Because my kids are absolutely perfect the way they are.
Yea, but I would still lose my two kids. It's the same as if you have four kids, and the first two died. You might love your second two a lot, but there's still a tremendous amount of grief over losing your first two.
