“It’s unclear whether having children gives our lives meaning, or whether kids just satisfy a preset societal idea about how we ought to be extracting meaning from our lives” writes GOOD’s Amanda Hess, adding that “it should give us pause that women report locating meaning in their lives through something that does not actually make them happy. ‘What is the meaning of life?’ and ‘what is the meaning of my life?’ are two questions that should not be so easily confused.”
