    A lot of people shouldn't have kids. That's a good place to start.

    For me, parenthood is the best thing that ever happened. How do you measure happiness?

    I couldn't bring myself to read anymore.

    To answer your question thuogh, I absolutely fucking love being a parent - more than I've ever loved being anything else in my entire life.

    I think the SCMP typed out their headline wrong. It should have been...

    ' Hong Kong, robs parents of their happiness.'

    Well it does if you buy into the competitive HK education hype, which seems most do.
