A lot of people say that sort of thing and I think it isn't really true. What I think may be more accurate is that
if you have kids you most likely won't regret it.
Especially if you have a partner, married or not, to help you take care of them, And if you aren't a teen who hasn't finished high school.
They change your life in a way that cannot be imagined. The old you is as gone as the old you in "Those were the days." (A totally depressing song, btw. I like to think my life is, if not happening right now, at least ahead of me.)
The thing that surprised me most about having a child was that I did not know it was possible to love someone so much.
You won't regret not having kids, and I doubt you'd regret having kids either. Regrets are a choice we make anyway, not something unavoidable like rain.
