Did having kids lessen your existential fears?

There's an AskReddit question right now about "existential dread". I've found that having a child has calmed or replaced a lot of those thoughts. My sense of purpose is now clearly defined. My worries about "what it all means" have largely gone away. Did you have a similar experience? Different? Is it just about getting older, or is it the demands and inferences of parenting? via /r/Parenting http://ift.tt/2nG3bxK
