Having kids decreases happiness

This is one of those things that can't be "tested", so it is better to be sure before having kids. Personally I've decided against having kids, maybe I'll regret when I am 50, but for now I don't. Fortunately for me, there are enough humans in the planet already, so a few of us not having kids should only have positive impact, at least in the short term.

Occasionally when I see other parents with babies, I imagine a life with my wife and I raising a baby and thinking I missed something. Then they start crying and just being kids and I quickly get over it.
