Similar to other people's shortform feeds, short stuff that people on LW might be interested in, but which doesn't feel like it's worth a separate post. (Will probably be mostly cross-posted from my Facebook wall.)
Some time back, Julia Wise published the results of a survey asking parents what they had expected parenthood to be like and to what extent their experience matched those expectations. I found those results really interesting and have often referred to them in conversation, and they were also useful to me when I was thinking about whether I wanted to have children myself.
However, that survey was based on only 12 people's responses, so I thought it would be valuable to get more data. So I'm replicating Julia's survey, with a few optional quantitative questions added. If you have children, you're welcome to answer here: https://forms.gle/uETxvX45u3ebDECy5
I'll publish the results at some point when it looks like there won't be many more responses.
