No. Like IggleSniggle I miss the healthy sleep/exercise/social life/hobbies pre-kid, but that’s about all I “lost” and I would choose to have my kid again in a heartbeat. She was born at the beginning of covid and I worked from home for the first year of her life, so I got to see her grow from newborn to toddler every day of her life. That totally redefined my worldview and priorities and made me a more optimistic and (I hope) loving human being. My kid is also just so much fun. YMMV though; my wife and I were planning on being DINKs for life and we had to make a conscious effort to decide to want our baby. We definitely accomplished that, but I have no idea what it’s like to want to have a kid, or what it’s like to accidentally have a kid and to end up not being able to enjoy it.
