Summary

This quote suggests that families who have babies and families who do not have babies feel sympathy or regret for one another's situation. It implies that families without babies may lament the lack of joy or fulfillment that a baby brings, while families with babies may express sympathy towards those without babies for the freedom and independence they may perceive. In essence, it highlights the tendency of individuals to romanticize aspects of life they do not currently have, creating a sense of empathy across different family dynamics.
