I think you're right, but it's fuzzier than that. Most people love their kids, period. Some people may indeed have led happier lives without them, but once you have kids, you are probably going to love them dearly, and therefore not "regret" them. Regret sounds like "I would undo this if I could" and if you love someone the way most people are wired to love their kids, you would never ever press an undo button.

Is it true that some parents don't love their kids? Sadly, yes. But that certainly does not apply to every parent who accidentally became a parent or didn't want to become a parent. It doesn't mean that they made the best choice in committing to raising kids, or that they are in denial about how great things could have been. But you can - and probably will - still love your kids even if they came to you with huge personal sacrifice.

I agree with this. Mourning a life you had before and simultaneously loving your children so much you'd move mountains for them is, well, a thing. An extremely common thing. I often dream of the luxuries of time and self-care I had before children, but I would not undo my decision for the whole world.
