Your work is not your god nor your mommy to bless you with motivation, meaning, higher calling etc. Children. Please don’t make them to satisfy your craving for meaning, this would eventually make yours and their life miserable. I personally made kids because I thought it was the right thing to do and because i had a partner who shared my views. I knew in advance it will be hard and i will not get any magical meaning bestowed upon me. At the same time they gave me extraordinary motivation to pull myself out of my spiritually and somewhat economically miserable life.
