You cannot rationally explain why it's fulfilling to have kids. The payoff is largely emotional.

Sleeping in got old for me at some point.

That's certainly true.

As a father and a very rational person, I can fully understand you.

Especially if you don't have any kids around you and/or problems inside your family anyways.

I'd lie if I said I wouldn't sometimes love to have some alone time. But I would never go back to sleeping in every Saturday and missing out on my child.
