The OP is asking the wrong question to the right group of people.
Asking parents if they wanted their children is only ever going to produce an overwhelmingly positive answer, so it’s a rubbish question.
That’s not really what I asked – I asked if you always knew you wanted children – it’s not the same as asking if they wanted their children. Generally (wide generalisation!) at the point of conception, most people have decided they want kids (granted, accidents happen quite regularly 😉
My point was whether blokes grew up always knowing they wanted kids at some point in the future. And the short answer seems to be no, much indifference, but once you have them they are amazing/best things in the world etc.

What you really want to know is
1.) How much will what I do now change if I have children?
2.) How much financial impact will it have on my life?
3.) What if the relationship goes wrong?
4.) How many dysfunctional children/people are a product of their parents relationship?
No. I can figure that bit out on my own! 🙂 My question wasn’t “should I have kids and how will my life change?”
