As someone who builds economic models for a living, I think that conclusion is entirely dependant on how you value the outcomes, and what your willingness-to-pay threshold is for "pride in children."
On a less technical note, thanks to all those who offered congratulations. Now that The Boy has been home for a while, I'm beginning to devalue that word, and place enormous value on the phrase "I'll come over and take care of him for a while." The value is based entirely on how long you'd like to watch him, and whether you'll be changing as well as feeding him. The best is when my sister-in-law comes over. She's an OT (occupational therapist) and she does this amazing massage thing... no, no, on the kid. Keeps him quiet for, like, hours.
edit: speling and gramr
but often it happens you know / that the things you don't trust are the ones you need most....
