Conversations about your kids or kids in general at work are like deep, dark secrets: you really need to be careful who you share them with. Trying to tell a story about your kid(s), no matter how awesome the story is, with a coworker who doesn't have kids is like explaining the Internet to a 103-year-old. They don't get it and they don't care. I don't think there's a worse punishment for a coworker without kids than suffering through a kid story.
However, for the coworkers who have kids, especially if their close to the same age, kid stories are awesome. When you think you're going through something unique that no parent has ever seen, and the other parent can totally relate, it is very refreshing. I like talking about my kids to other parents, and I like hearing their horror/hilarious stories as well.
That's all.
