Ask HN: Do kids make you happier?

Below are my 2 cents on the topic, but I would love to read anno-2020 views as I need to decide at some point.

I think there are 2 things why people like having a child (after it is there):

1. You have someone who loves you which is typically a plus

2. You have someone who needs you, thus giving you a higher purpose in your life: to care for it

Thus, the fewer loving relationships you expect to have and the less purpose or goals you have in life the more benefits a child brings you.

The more loving relationships you have and the more purpose you have already the less benefits a child brings you.
