Fair question. I sometimes envy the amount of time people without kids have. But even for all the time in the World I would never trade the experience of having my three year old daughter. The pleasure I get from her is beyond anything I ever managed to get for myself, even when I had all the time in the World. Whether down to biochemistry or insanity, or both, I don't know. Having kids also helped me value my personal free time a lot more, so in some ways I feel like I'm more aligned with what I want now. Don't read any of this as advice though, I would never recommend anyone having children unless it's something you really want.

Parenting gives you loads of dopamine because, evolutionarily, it's really good for you to be parenting. A stretched analogy might be a wall of trophies that you earned at sports tournaments vs a wall of trophies that you bought on eBay; the result is the same, but the means really matter as well.
