The impact of children on ambitious goals
Having children requires serious dedication and compromises, and one must consider how it will change their life. If having kids doesn't change anything, then one may not be doing it right. This insight comes from the experience of a person who does not plan to have kids, believing that they need to focus on building something with long-term impact and complete alignment with their goals. The person emphasizes the underestimation of the work and dedication it takes to raise children properly, and how it might make one an absentee parent. It is a consideration for people contemplating having kids and also highlights the assumptions people make about having children when getting married.
