    If you accept that caring for the wellbeing of your kids is inherently meaningful then you must also accept there is meaning inherent in taking care of your own self :3

      only while the kids exist as you forced them into existence thereby incurring the responsibility

      for a thought experiment, imagine you could see your entire life and decide to be born or not based in your mind at the point of death

      what would be the point of living a ‘bad’ life?
