>Why? Noy disputing you but I am childless yet primarily I cannot think why bringing up a kid would be significant or meaningful.

Its because they are more important than anything else to a parent. You are invested in their outcome more than anything else. I don’t see how this isn’t obvious.



> I don’t see how this isn’t obvious

What contribution does this add to your point? It comes off as a put-down


You can tell me why it isn’t obvious to you. Or is it obvious?

I would like to hear you articulate why you believe bringing up a kid is neither significant nor meaningful? The time commitment and emotional bond alone makes pretty trivially proves it is, don’t you think?


Someone without children asks an apparent good faith question about why parenting is more significant and meaningful [than other pursuits]

An answer is provided, but with an "isn't it obvious?" at the end

On the one hand, one could argue that the question wouldn't have been asked if it were obvious (which would be an equally unnecessary riposte), but it might be worth reflecting on what that part adds to the conversation or whether it's a habit, especially in the context of parenting
