@july Or maybe because when you remember how much a person or people labored over someone to raise them — how much work it took to keep them alive — it makes you want to be more careful with them? They have more value(?) in that sense?

I used to see other peoples kids and thought they were largely a waste of my time and attention (before I had kids). Now after having had kids, when I see other kids, my friends kids, my extended family's kids, kids I don't know even know -- and I think about how much time I've dedicated to spending time with my kids and yeah, and how they are kids too -- and it is safe to say that it has really changed my perspective drastically, 180.

I care so much more for them because I know what it took, at least for me. And even if that's not the case for them I give them the benefit of the doubt and feel more responsible. In a way, I feel more responsible for the human race after having had kids
