"parents (and especially fathers) report relatively higher levels of happiness, positiveemotion, and meaning in life." Me too. My kid is the best thing ever, from a guy who never wanted kids.

The way that plays out is that kids bond to their parents, and that bond is expressed as love, and man what a great thing to be loved by your kid.
