Does this line of questioning ever work?

  It’s not rhetoric. It’s a question.

  It wasn’t meant to “work”. It was an honest question.

    People without kids get these questions repeatedly, and they’ve surely asked themselves the same questions. If the answer is no, they probably don’t especially relate to the premise of the questions in the first place. If they do relate and their answer is yes, it can be painful to have those regrets highlighted. I’ll take your word on your intent. But so you might understand my reaction, it’s often the case that people ask these questions in full awareness of those possible answers—asking them as a form of social pressure to undermine the former option and/or to reinforce and exploit the latter.

  That's a little defensive, wouldn't you say?
