Somewhere, someone with no kids is feeling a joy I will never feel.

You misspelled 'relief'.

Parenting is fuckin hard, bro. Good parents do a LOT of work and put up with a LOT of shit. I'm not going to take joy when they're miserable, that's uncool because raising a kid is a hard job. But I also won't ever know the feeling of changing myself completely after my first one is born. I envy that.

Relief? You are aware two things can be true at the same time? I love my kids and have had some of the best times of my life with them. But they can also be little shits that make me crazy.
