I will admit that I haven't experienced 100% of your life since I haven't bred, but I have been busy experiencing 100% of my life. And it hasn't been too bad, really. Despite that gaping hole in it.

I'll make a deal. My post was in response to PJ's statement below:

Yet another reason not to have rugrats. That, and the fact that my friends/family with kids seem to have completely given up their own lives for the dubious reward of passing on their genes and possibly bearing the next Einstein, when they could (1) better put their efforts towards being an Einstein themselves or (2) find that despite their best efforts, they've inadvertently raised the village idiot.
That, and having accidentally caught a bit of a TLC thing on childbirth, which left me convinced that no amount of drugs could make me able to handle the gore.

I won't tell you how great it is to have kids, tempted as I often am, if no one else suggests that its a "dubious reward" (and I'm not offended by PJ's statement, I just feel a need to respond when it's made).
In response to another comment, I have heard all too often the word "miscarriage", luckily not every time.
Now, for those who wish other experiences, either now or forever, enjoy! When and if you get to this one, it's great. No offense was meant to anyone.
