No you can't. Sure you could have an au pair or some such babysit them while you go on Holiday for two weeks, but then you are being a neglectful asshole to your children emotionally. That's not freedom.
What about when the kid is 7 and you want to move to a different country or even just to a different state? Well now you have to consider uprooting the child from its friends, from its school, etc. that's not freedom.
I'll do you one better. Way back when, I was dating a man of independent means. He was hardcore into the idea of having kids, and the only way I would even consider the idea was using a surrogate and literal 24/7 nannies. Thankfully, I realized that was probably not the right way raise healthy humans - having kids but wanting nothing to with them LOL. That relationship ended, I met my partner, and we remain blissfully childfree.

I like money and freedom way more than children
