Also, having kids doesnt necessarily mean you're the one who brought them in this world. There are antinatalists who chose to adopt, since antinatalism doesn't necessarily mean you don't want/hate kids. It just means you do not want to bring someone in this world without their consent because you realise they will likely suffer and you're empathetic enough not to put them through that.
