The "choice" to have children is the lizard part of the brain at the task its been optimized for the last 500 million years, reproducing.
Some people try to rationalize the choice, but it is a primal driving force. It can also been seen as the desire to have sex. Although in some configurations there are less than optimal results.

It has helped that we have made enough money to keep us comfortable and allow our children to attend private schools, daycare, etc. There is a balance, many of my sons don't really have a relationship with their fathers. Seems to be less of an issue with my daughters friends. I suspect I could have a much larger net worth if I had worked more. But I am glad I made the choice of spending as much time with my kids as I could.
