I had a discussion recently and said I would rather regret not having children, than regret having them.
I'm only in my 30s, but if I get older and suddenly decide I do want kids, then I can always look into adoption/fostering or live a child free life with some regret.
If I have kids and hate it, then I've got 18 years of raising a child to do, whether I want to or not. Those kids will undoubtedly pick up on my regret and resentment, which really isn't fair.
