True. It is selfish but so are most of the altruistic things we do in life. When we give we feel good about ourselves so we are always getting.
When it comes to kids they WANT you to feel happier because they are around as it is better for them so it is a win-win situation for all.
But to the OP, it is very stressful and fatiguing and a sacrifice of your personal time for quite awhile. If that's not for you that's fine, it isn't for everyone.
What many get out of it is an immense joy at being a dad. That's why they do it.
