> I've never understood this viewpoint - children are simply the most fascinating things!

Yeah seriously. My wife and I have a six month old and simply because we want to educate her, we've both been reading way more than normal. My wife (who stays at home with our daughter all day) has already completed a university lecture series + read many books on ancient civilizations. I've started reading about philosophy on my bus ride to/from work.

Having children has only expanded our desire and ability to learn.
