AIBU to ask - if you could go back in time would you still decide to have children?

I know parents love their kids and it's not a question of regret. But knowing what you know now, if you could go back in time (pre-children) and assuming you wouldn't get the same DC's again - would you decide to become a parent? If so, why/why not?

I feel like it can be a taboo topic and can often lead to unrealistic expectations of parenthood. As a fence sitter I'd be keen to hear everyone's opinions :)

NO

Without a doubt. Becoming a mum was the making of me.

No I wouldn’t. I loved it when they were children but the worry and upset of their adult lives hasn’t been worth it. I really think having children is very over rated.
