He has probably done more of the things you insinuate he hasn't than most people on this board. All of those things listed can be done without children. Moreso, actually, since raising children is so time-consuming if you are a half-decent parent.

Nope. It’s about the depth of the emotional experience. Having children, mentoring them, loving them, being there reliably every day is not the same as doing life solo. It’s just not. Removing yourself from the center of your own life for 20 years is a remarkable thing, the selflessness of it creates MEANING that one can not get by spending a life gratifying one’s needs first.
Look I know people extremely well that have chosen that path or had it chosen for them and I do not devalue them as human beings in any way, but I also see how alone they are when the chips are down. I also see how they do have trouble with a myriad of things that someone who has enjoyed the full richness of being responsible for the lives of others FIRST provides. They just haven’t experienced the FULL range of human experience that being a parent provides.
My breakfast with my oldest daughter was wonderful by the way. It was wonderful to offer her advise on her post graduate life. I look forward to seeing the other two this weekend, along with my “ adopted son” who will likely be stoned lol. It’s a lot different than visiting friends. It just is. It has a MEANING that surpasses “ smoking weed”.
