Father of three. Yes and no.
> and if so, why?
Yes. Chemical change in my brain / body causing me to love those little buggers more than life itself.
No. A bit of free time and piece and quiet would be nice occasionally and to selfishly do what I want, when I want, how I want.
> would you have preferred to go child-free, in retrospect?
At the time of the first born, most definitely. But girlfriend got pregnant "fairly" young at 24. She wanted to keep it, no further discussion had.
In retrospect, that is a very hard one. Very much aware of the "grass is greener" paradigm and to be "happy with what you got". But overall, I don't think I would change anything.
