Honestly the worst part about having kids is having to be at work for 8 hours a day instead of being with them. But having to spend 8 hours making faceless bastards obscene punts of wealth and then getting a measly 2-3 with my kids is fucken bullshit.

even if you are stay-at-home once they get to be school age they're gone for 7 or 8 hours

Yeah, the problem with having kids is mainly doing so while having to deal with capitalism.

I've met stay at home parents who despise their children. I think humanity has been caught in a battle between the biological desire for procreation and the existential desire for extinction.

Theres good in this world, and its worth fighting for. I dont think most of humanity deserves or desires extinction. And actually facing it, when the capitalists dont stop and the world buckles, I won't be able to turn away from those in need while I still breathe.

Counterpoint: the worst part of having kids is the constant talking. They never, ever shut up. For the love of god.
