I have 2 kids and I cannot see myself without them anymore. However, they were a conscious and thought out choice I discussed with my partner.
With all of that said, having kids is hard, even when everything is going well. You are not the master of schedule for 10+ years and a lot of extra responsibilities are added to your life that you cannot ignore.
You miss out on a lot of experiences by not having kids, but that's the same thing for having kids. You can do whatever you want whenever you want.
